Question about MX3...
Yeah, yeah, I know it's a honda board... the question is for a guy I work with...opinions are needed...
He has an MX3 with i/e... he's thinking of either doing a swap or getting it turbo'd... which would you do? Yeah, it's an MX-3... but at least it's not my car.

Swap hands down.
The engine in those things are weak unforgiving turds. With swaps I have seen them turn some pretty fair times over.

My brother has an MX6 with a 2.5 V6. In Japan they have an engine called the KLZE which has like 200hp and bolts right into the MX6/Probe/626. Supposing the MX3 had the same engine mounts as those other cars that would be one mean engine to put in it. I think they go for about $1200.
