which would be more cost efficient and give u more power? dropping a turbo kit and getting a tranny upgrade with exhaust or putting in an engine like a taurus sho?

 

There is no engine swap for our cars that is even remotely easy or worthwhile. There's several turbo kits available now, starting at about $2500 for the non-intercooled Wagner kit. Do some searches and read some of the older posts in the 3rd Gen section, there's lots of good info already out there.

 

oh yea I know about the many turbo kits out there for this car

 

Couldn't you swap the turbo mazdaspeed into another 3rd gen?


Would the cost be worth it compared to a turbo kit?

 

mazdaspeed turbo kit isn't known as the "best bang for the buck" when it comes to turbo's.

Also, I did try to swap an SHO motor into a MSP. It would be a Frankenstien of a ride but with the amount of frame cutting, fender cutting, transmission modifications, it wouldn't be worth it.


Also, I'm hoping to have a supercharger kit for the 3rd gens available shortly after September.

 

What about the FSZE motor? I've been thinking of doing either the turbo/supercharger with an AEM EMS or just popping in the ZE with an AEM EMS.

 

Never mind, "did the search, found the answer."

 

yeah, for those following....the answer is "nope".
