Shes Been Dyno'd

**garfy1981** · 4-21-06, 5:47

Well my little mx-3 KLZE got its first dyno this morning, not as much as i was hoping for but i knew it would be low as it runs the complete 1.8 V6 exhaust system.
The guy said the engine is running richer that Richard Brandson!!, the best way to make a massive amount of bhp is to finish the exhast and get a tunable piggy pack system to tune the air/fuel mixture.
The results at the wheels were; peak 143bhp at 6400rpm and 122ftlb peak at 5400rpm

Heres some pics and a video ( if it works ) the noise it made on testing was mind blowing

Garfy that is absolutely awesome mate! You lucky biatch!

Dude - I need some help.

Im using your engine as a model for getting a KLZE done myself - Any chance you can drop me an email describing the process you used to rebuild and tune your engine? Also, where you got the bits from and where you got the work done. I am in the black hole of tuning support that is the midlands you see.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Ben.

nice man

ur car is calling for megasquirt!!

and get an exhaust system ! the numbers are pretty low i thought u would get more to be honest!

**laidbackfreak** · 4-21-06, 8:26

looking good................... :-)

**N0DDY** · 4-21-06, 8:33

Not bad, well with a klze engine in there you do at least have the potential to get the full 200bhp out of the wheels given a FAT exhaust and a bit of tuning.

**Fastest95PGT** · 4-21-06, 8:50

Can we get an engine bay shot and a larger pic of that dyno?

But nice job.

**oredroc4** · 4-21-06, 12:37

**rasheedn** · 4-21-06, 12:45

no there's another guy he's on mx-3.com
or 2 ??

**garfy1981** · 4-21-06, 14:50

sorry for the late reply; i had a bit of fun with car this morning and then I was on diy decking duties in the garden

Parallex i send you some details of what i have and where i got it. But you should find most of the info from mx6.com i would have thought.

yeah rash the numbers are a bit low, but it deffinately doesnt feel it. It definately pulls way better than the original 1.8 lump. Ive got a dyno sheet of a 1.8 V6 with performance exhaust and that only made 103.6 bhp at the wheels and 127ftlbs torque. So im 40 bhp up anyhow.
In a way im kinda glad because it keeps me interested in the car, and i cant wait to see how it performs with even more ponies !!.

Fastest ive edited the dyno graph to make it larger, i couldnt film any closer for safety reasons. There are some good close ups of the engine on my car domain page, or click on the video then click on the top right numbers to scan through my photobucket album

There is now 3 ze mx-3s in the Uk theres me on the south east, theres one in Falmouth ( soon to be ze turbo !! ) and theres the 1st guy who did the conversion up in scotland somewhere. From emails ive got from a couple of other guys there is another 2 ze mx-3 planned also.

Im not going to use the megasquirt. The guys local to me http://www.cplracing.co.uk are going to use a honda based ecu system
( forget the damm chips name now !!) it is compatible for the mx6 because he showed me the wiring set up plans as provided by the manufacturer. then they can tune it and set it up on their dyno also. The price is still TBA.
The guys their i found are also uk dealers for; Quaife & CM clutchmasters clutch and flywheels if any of you guys in the uk are interested.
Im pretty sure piper cams local to me would also play with the cams, but im a long way away from that yet !!.

So all in all, its still early days, so i best start saving i guess !!

**garfy1981** · 4-21-06, 15:13

i couldnt rezize the dyno graph because the max size photo on photobucket is 1mb otherwise it resizes the pic to suit. If you want me to email the dyno graph then drop us your email address on a PM.

**garfy1981** · 4-25-06, 15:21

Edited the video for improved quality click on streetfire link.

Cheers for the comments guys. Cant believe i only got 2 comments on mx-3.com forum !!

The interest in the mx3 in the uk is shockingly poor.

**kenholland** · 4-26-06, 2:33

Nice work Garfy.

Looking at the dip in that torque curve you could do with getting the VRIS opening points right with a couple of MSI switches too. My ZE showed exactly the same but I never got round to it.

**Tex_Mx** · 4-26-06, 3:10

Good job Garfy..

Bet you really suprise a few hothatches.lol

I see that one of the KLZE MX 3s are fairly near to me over in falmouth.Would like to have a look one day.I still have to put the 2.5 in a friends mx 3.

**garfy1981** · 4-26-06, 13:51

I would have thought the vris points were set right as im using a kl36 ecu, but after talking to rasheedn im sold on the megasquirt front, in fact im gonna pinch it from his mx6 when hes backs turned at japfest

if you want to speak to the guy at falmouth his email is im_a_fitty@hotmail.com
or look for tommy D on mx-3.com. Hes a nice bloke and will help you out no problems.

**rasheedn** · 4-26-06, 14:15

hahaha

fastest95pgt is the man to talk to about megasquirt
i am sure he can help u out
