Going back to the probe roots....

Adam95GT · Aug 23, 2007

I think i might give the stang the downtime it needs for the swap.... i found a 93 1.8l v6 mazda mx3.... for $1200 i might pick it up as a daily driver till the swap is done.... i still have may probe parts so this is probally a good choice

MysteryMachine · Aug 23, 2007

probe and Mazda parts are the same?

BlueOvalStangGT · Aug 23, 2007

Yeah, the v6 ones at least. Its a KLZE motor or something like that.

MysteryMachine · Aug 23, 2007

wtf does that stand for anyway?

The Green GT · Aug 23, 2007

Why cant they jusy say 302 or something? lol

It would make it so much less confusing for me. lol

Shouldn't the V6 be a 2.5L in '93 (same as the Probe GT and MX6)? I though the 1.8L was an I-4?

The MX-3 had one of the smallest production V-6's ever IIRC. I would drive one as a dd, they look like pretty fun cars.

Adam95GT · Aug 23, 2007

yes its a 1.8l engine which is a v6 (i think its a K8 )it is one of the smallest v6's that was in production... its a little torquey rev happy engine thats really fun to drive... once the VRIS opens.... VRIS is Variable Intake Resonance System.... which opens different Ports in the intake manifold to shorten or lengthen the air paths... By using the MSD pill switches you can controll where these open to make some extra power.... but the ford probe 2.5l KL03 / KLDE rated at 164 HP is a direct swap... as well as the KLZE which is the j spec engine rated at 200hp... That was the engine i had in my probe...

ponypowa2 · Aug 23, 2007

I wanted a probe so bad when I was a kid

95Mustang302 · Aug 24, 2007

1slow95 · Aug 24, 2007

I would have bought one 6 or 7 years ago, but the dealership I was gonna buy it from went under before I could get it.
