Going back to the probe roots....

[Adam95GT]

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]

probe and Mazda parts are the same?

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

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

 

[MysteryMachine]

wtf does that stand for anyway?

 

[The Green GT]

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]

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...

 

[MysteryMachine]

so its got like VtEc?

 

[ponypowa2]

lol at least your not trading the stang for a probe, id start lmao

somtimes i wish i had a different dd and stang for a fun car

 

[Adam95GT]

so its got like VtEc?

no vtec is like an extra lobe on the cam that engages wo open an extra valve or something like that IIRC

 

[Adam95GT]

I sold my probe to get my stang... i got $3500 for the probe and picked up the stang for $3900 1 hour later

i do miss the probe...

 

[Adam95GT]

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.
