The only MX-3 here?!

[mx-3_4evr]

Hello everyone, my name is Antonio and I have an MX-3 with some unique mods. Have had this car for almost 3 years. It's actually the 1st MX-3 with ITBs in the world (few weeks later a Russian V6 KLZE MX-3 had ITBs) Looking forward to meet new Mazda people! Now onto the pics:

Yeah, you're def. the only mx-3 here. Was that car at Cars and Coffee? Remember seeing something similiar, don't remember if it had ITB's though. In any event, welcome.

Damn, that is clean! Get some paint on it and it's pretty well off.

Any other plans for it? Maybe a snail?

Yeah I was there Most people just past by and then turn really quick and are like ITBs?

Yeah paint job will be in the future. Well,I toasted all my piston rings due to a Megasquirt stand alone failure, so I'm ditching the ITBs and going turbo. 300whp by spring of 2010

Granny shifting not double clutching like you should...

Now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block, and replace those piston rings you fried!





Come on...I had to.

What turbo you going with? 300whp should be fun as hell in that little thing.

 

[StealthSpeed3]

sounds like a rally/autoX car in the making...

Welcome.

Nice looking car. I would leave the paint if I was you.

 

[dmention7]

Welcome aboard! That's some clean stuff you've got there... ITBs are 1337

 

[VTEC8YA]

Theirs an awful lot of unused space in that engine bay......... Turbo Nitro Booster that thing.

Welcome by the way!!!

 

[ij1889]

welcome, no you are not the only mx3 on here, theres some creepy dude thats never on the site, nice ride

 

[mx-3_4evr]

Thanks guys! I'm looking on running a Holset HY35W or a TO4E. Most likely a TO4E.

 

[JohnnyT]

I vote for T04.

 

[mx-3_4evr]

Well, lets say that I gave up on the turbo set up. Reason? transmission on these cars are made out of crap! lol so I'm building a better ITB set up for 2010! I will keep you guys updated, it's kind of hard to work on cars when you got a little space heater in MN winters

 

[mndsm]

Yes, definitely keep us posted. The setup you already have is rockin, LOVE the ITB's and the stacks, can't wait to get a closer look at it come spring.

[rewedmiata]

What happened with your Megasquirt?

That was last year, what happened was that my buddy didn't solder the injector one bank correctly. This year was a different buddy forgot to torque down my oil pump gears cover wich ended taking the rod/main bearings out.

did you go with a dif itb set up in the second pic than in the first photo?

yes, this year I'm rocking hayabusa ITBs with a port angle matched to the head ports and turbo probe injectors. Also an LSD and 10:1 cr pistons were added
