MX3 turbo swap to NA
« on: June 30, 2011, 10:12:00 AM »
Guy has an MX3 1.6? Some guy wants to buy my turbo & exhaust manifold for it. It's an NA car & he wants to change it over. ECU also. Is that possible? Selling pretty cheap cause I need the $ but don't want him coming back cause he may have had a dumb idea.

OK, it's a Mazda MX3 NA. Keep telling him he's got his work cut out for him-if it even works?

Thanks GoSteelers, that's kind of the advice I got. Just didn't want a decent turbo to go to waste since I didn't even have it listed for sale. Just top & wheels. Been awhile on here, but the car is running great! Still get dandelions in AC vents after cleaning everywhere but in blower. Take care, Rob

Some of the B6T parts will fit their flavor of the B6, the electronics im not so sure about. Turbo B6 MX3 has been done plenty before. If you have a good OEM turbo and are hurting for cash, you can get a lot out of it, don't have to settle on this guy.

Thing is Rocketman I pulled it from a junk yard but I was going to do the VJ11/14 since I have both the turbos to do it. I don't know if it works but with a hybrid rebuild odds would be a good turbo. No side or in out play. Came off car I sent the junkyard ECU that you chipped & works fine. Think it was a 91 crank problem w/car. Don't want to sell just that 1 to someone here & it doesn't work-ya know. Thanks RM, Rob
