here she is when i first got her. klze swapped with bolt ons, 200bhp stock





so i finally got her boosted and running ~5-6 psi on a fmu. im actually very impressed. judging by the butt dyno. id give it atleast 250whp, close to like 270whp.

2.5 ic pipes, dsm bpv, to4e 50 trim, silicone intakes fmic, 12:1 vortec fmu, stock exhaust. sorry the pics arent the greatest, and i really need to detail the engine bay lol





and a few new exterior things. tint, 18s, m edition tails, jspec headlamps, leather interior swap.





as for future plans, im hoping to get my 1st gen running soon as my daily, and up the boost on the klze to about 12psi.......which should get it up over 350whp. i have a mazdaspeed lip kit waiting to go on, and she'll definitely need some new paint. hopefully spring next year

Wow... you actually made an MX-6 look cool and have some power. I'm impressed. The only ones I've seen have been beaten to shit and run the same way.

Congrats.

lookin good

Sweet!

That's awesome man...nice work!
What size turbo u runnin?

Nice, always liked this body style. Do you by chance live by the Denver DMV? There is a white MX-6 parked in a driveway across the street that I see every time I go there, looks kind of like your car...

wow very nice work. although that's too many grommets for my taste.

^He needs more zip ties, duct tape and spark PLUGS huh? LOL

Can't see the pics on this computer, I'll check it out when I get home. But I'll go ahead and say NICE WORK because I will later anyway lol.

Great looking MX6.
Props on the turbo build.

oh yea. especially my lower radiator hose zipties. screw hose clamps lol

thanks for the comments. ranger - im in lakewood so probably not my car you see.....

im not really going for underhood looks, never really cared a whole lot in that department, though it could use some cleaning and tidying up. but for now i just want it to run reliably for a while before i decide to up the boost

how is ur tranmission holding up

its fine. the g type holds up to about 350-400whp as long as youre not launching on stickies. afaik, third gear and the diff are the weakest parts and dont generally break on a street setup.

im in the process of swapping the engine out for a lower compression klde bottom end. putting in a better clutch, and eventually megasquirt, 550 injectors, e85 and a new turbo. hoping to make 400-450whp by next spring/summer

just a quick update. i made it up to pfi for dyno day on saturday. she made 245whp on 5psi........not as much as id hoped for but the curve looks great. holds power til redline.

pretty soon ill up the boost to 10psi and leave it at that. these motors dont do well above 325whp and bend rods. so shes about done.....then its back to workin on the SHO swap!
