Mazda MX-6 0-160

[uploaded113redone]

i live in canada and engine swaps are super legal (unless you live in BC then you gotta deal with aircare government emissions HAHA SUCKERS)

[danoconnell427]

Epic clutch slip? 

[mccaslin]

sounds like bad shift..

[tmac4t4]

dude shiftin too early..should be able to do 140 in 3rd before shifting

[kidpnut04]

where did u get the red trim for the dash?

[gunzfreak2007]

@kidpnut04 i have same question >_<

[cheefchin]

@gunzfreak2007 It's dyed red, its not extra plastic trim.

[chrismay1a]

@cheefchin not trying to sound like a retard, but how do you dye the dash like that. it looks really cool.

[cheefchin]

@chrismay1a There's a special kind of plastic "dye" that you must use, not paint. You might be able to even get it at Canadian Tire, or a local autobody shop. Google "plastic dye" and I'm sure you'll find some good info.

[bobbydukes100]

i got the same color inside mine mazda mx6 thats nice dude .

[PzKpfw]

Those JDMs are fuking k1ller

[hugenoodles]

it just looks like it just wants to keep going faster :)

[uploaded113redone]

nice check engine light you got there

[catfisher10100]

me my dad got his to do 130mph nothing but a ram air intake

[Tgrovez]

right on. I got me a 1994 Mazda 626 and been thinking for a long time about dropping in klze, but only thing that scares me is that im not sure about the emissions part, if it will pass or not, I live in albuquerque, new mexico and they're pretty strict about that stuff, so what would you suggest i do?

[cheefchin]

Find out what the local laws are on engine swaps. I know some places in the States only allow engines that were available as an option for that car to be swapped in. If all cats are still left on, and there's no check engine light you should be alright though.

[Mx6Fan]

@Tgrovez albuquerque tried to steal the springfield isotopes!!!!

down with these evil albuquerqueriños !! ;)

[ThySyN]

@Tgrovez The ZE won't pass emissions at all, no EGR, doesn't recycle the emissions, it will fail miserably, with that said, do it. I have the ZE in my '93 Probe and love it to death, best decision ever.

[DjExplosiveVybez]

LMAO Yur Engine Light is on !! xD !

[uploaded113redone]

@DjExplosiveVybez

to be fair most of these cars have an mass airflow problem which causes the light ot come on and the sensor needs to be replaced pretty often

it will also cause your mx6 to rev up and down in the winter due to the cold air

[crobic04]

My 1989 Mazda 626 picks up faster then that at 100, Also does anyone else have a digital speedometer in there 1989 Mazda MX6?

[motocross321]

Someone told me that it would be bad for me to make my klze a manual because they are not meant to go over 4500rpm is this true? The reason i ask is because I have a 1994 Ford Probe GT with the klze motor but the only downside is that it is a automatic and I want to make it a manual. Thanks.

[cheefchin]

Whoever told you that is retarded...it's a DOHC Japanese V6 that can run at high RPM's with little problem. I'd say go for the manual swap...you'll enjoy the extra power and control.

[motocross321]

There would be no reason for this than? Would it also be okay if I did the swap and went with the probinator chip? The only reason I asked about the manual swap is because the guy said that there is a problem that occurs with the car when it is a manual but, then I thought to myself if they made the engine like that then why would they sell a manual version of the car too. So thanks for the info. it really helped and i will be looking forward to doing the swap!

[cheefchin]

Hmm...never heard of the probinator chip before. If you're keeping the same engine then there won't be any problem with ECU communication, and because its a manual transmission there's no computer controlling the shifting so I'm not quite sure about the necessity of the chip. You're absolutely right in thinking that if the same model of car had the manual tranny as an option there shouldn't be a problem...should be a *relatively* simple swap...you're welcome and best of luck!

[xxfrijolxx]

the kzle engine opens up the vris points at slightly different rpm points than does the klDE. Not to mention the more aggressive fuel curve you'll get and the ability to go past 120mph with the prob. chip. So if you want the most out of your klze get the chip.

[cheefchin]

Well a chip can only do so much...running Megasquirt which is a full stand alone ECU is the best way to fully customize everything yourself.

[DougDanger92]

Very very nice, love the dash and the sound of the car.

Out of curiosity, are you conciously shifting like that? If so, has it made much of a difference?

If not, you're getting back on the accelerator too fast as your letting the clutch out, just incase you didn't know haha ;)

[LLCoolPass]

yeah all the shift pts, launch method, launch rpm , all wrong. but, youre very right to put the KL-ZE into a Mx-6, that's where it belongs! does he have the [very rare] LSD ?

[cheefchin]

Can't answer that for sure.

[LLCoolPass]

schweet but your shifting bad

[hafsha1]

i like the dash. you paint it yourself?

[cheefchin]

Yup...my friend's car so he painted it himself.

[hafsha1]

I like that. Do you know how he did it?

[cheefchin]

Well I'm pretty sure he didn't just use your basic paint...he used a special sort of plastic "dye" that won't come off with greasy hands, etc. A few coats of the dissasembled pieces did the trick.

[hafsha1]

Very nice. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

[cheefchin]

Np man.

[blackshine007]

You realize that the car revs higher than just 6k rpm, right?

[cheefchin]

Lol, true, but this was one of the first speed runs my friend did on his new KLZE swap, so he didn't want to break anything...which is possibly what happened to his KLDE...overrevving.

[blackshine007]

I have a KLZE in my 626 and it's been in there since Novermber 1, 2006. I changed out the weak ZE valve springs and retainers for the DE's and it hasn't given me any problems since. Check out my vids.

[Mx6Fan]

hmmm check engine light on ?! cause of jammed egr ? but acc, is a bit too slow.

[GrantzSiX]

You do realize her car does 0-60 in 10.2 seconds, the Sunfire could beat her...

[luvchiild]

i beat your mom last night

[cheefchin]

You're just a pussy...wait that makes perfect sense :P. That and you're afraid to lose...

[dutchfreaker]

a real car lover likes all cars

there are extremly fast domestics and japanese ...

and both have there good things about them

domestic suck at build quality

and japs are 90% riced out

i like big ass v8's just as much as a 1.8 4cil pushing 500hp

if you truely like cars you respect the owners for the work they have put in them

(exept for ricers i fucking hate those)

[musicforlife13]

a real car lover loves anything non rice lol.

and yes, there are very fast everything,

but domestics don't suck at build quality, some do yes, but so do some imports...

and considering this car had to get this engine because the other one failed... i just dunno bout them haha.

[itstali25]

amen brotha

[musicforlife13]

I think i could beat that haha.

Ricers...

[cheefchin]

You have no idea how big of a loser you are...next time I come to town, it's a 3-way race!
