June 20, 200521 yr comment_51698 well fellas ... I took a look in my engine bay in the KE30 2 door that i have got me a hold of ... turns out its the 20,000th KE30 produced! how sick is that. That's what the stamp says anyways ... Also it came with a 3k-h ... my mate reckons that was for the jap market (aka j-spec) ? Sounds tops! Anyways ... ten points to the person who guesses what motor is goin in the beast ... Hint: think 4 cylinder turbo ASIDE from the obvious ... Cheers, Dylan aka Dyzza \m/ Report
June 20, 200521 yr comment_51768 just about every early aussie ke30 came with 3k-h. i have one of the things sitting in my garage right now. they're just a 3k with 9:1, fast idle valve and crankcase ventilation Report

June 21, 200521 yr Author comment_52000 B6 turbo? :D Ten Points ! :) 1600cc, DOHC, 16 valve, EFI turbo =) ... originally from a jap-spec KE tx3 turbo .. now in my possession. Hence i need a mx5 gearbox to turn her RWD! Cheers, good work Tiger! Dyzza Report

June 22, 200521 yr comment_52233 I thought so... any other motor and I would've given up trying.. I was going to go with the Mazda BP motor. Basically the same as the B6, except bigger capacity (1800cc). Report
