    Possibly the Oddest Swapped MX-3.... 2.2 Turbo MX-6 GT Engine, Transmission, Brakes

    Hello I'm new to the site. Heres a little info on my '92 MX-3 that I bought with an '88 MX-6 GT (non 4WS car) The engine was in and ran but wasn't road ready. It has a Ported and Polished Head, 3" Downpipe into a 2.5" exhaust, Garrett GT2871R Turbo, Ebay Front Mount Intercooler & Piping Kit, MX-6 GT Brakes, MX-6 GT H-Type Trans, K-Sport Kontrol Pro's... I'll post more pics tomorrow, but heres a few pics to tease ya with.... lol






    I've only heard of 1 possibly 2 with an F2T swap, and I believe this is the only one I've seen with a 5 lug Swap. Glad to be a part of the community!
