What the...?

[DeeAOne]

NICE! to see.. i was hoping the mx3 would be able to rework.. to keep away from welding.. lol guess not. u find a harness and stuff?

monoxidechild over on CP said he was heading to his junkyard this weekend. he said he would ship me a harness and fusebox..

and yeah i at least gave the mx3 one a try but it was just too many problems.

mike stood on the 626 one after we finished and jumped around on it. it seems to be pretty strong.

im sure its plenty strong..lol Just make sure that mount isnt busted, those passenger mounts have fluid in them.. and they go out alot. You maybe could fill them up yourself.

already polyurethaned.

[JITB]

already polyurethaned.

i c that was a test...lol

what else do u need?

[DeeAOne]

the main hurdles now are the harness, and axles. the hybrid thing doesnt look like it will work. the v6 hubs are much bigger.

then i need to figure out cooling. im going with a different radiator most likely. after that, should be a kl-powered bf on the road.

harness is easy.. its just hard to find it... like i said on cp, ecu to fuse box use the mx3 gs one of course. And the bf alternator harness may hook up to that box. If it doesnt, than u can just snag a protege lx alternator harness.

but that axle problem isnt gonna be pretty! The hubs for the mx3 gs are the same as the protege one, which one are u comparing it to?

Ive always wondered if bf owners could put bg hubs on there cars. if you cn do that. than the axle problem would be solved..

i was doing the axle comparing. i took it to my work and was looking at all the possible fits. like louis said the v6 hub into the tranny is bigger. i had to order the mx3 axle it should be in today, so im going to check it out today.

about switching the hubs he dont want to ride with different lug patterns lol

[DustnU]

Man you have really put some time in this project, looks to be coming along nicely.

[DeeAOne]

thanks man. reps for you.

and yeah joe the problem is i would have two different lug patterns if i swapped hubs. 4x100 on the front and 4x114 on the rear, lol.

of course you would do all 4! The mx3 has different spline counts in different years. I believe the 94-95 one has more splines than the others. or it maybe just the 95. Whats the spline count on the 323 hub>

then i couldnt use my new american racings. they are 4x114 only.

and i want to say 26, but im not sure.

mx3 93-95, and 90-95 protege are the same spline's trust me ive been counting all day at work trying to find these damn axles. i think im just going to get him to get the mx3 hubs and all.

90-94 mx3 1.6
left side: outboard spline 26 inboard spline 24
right side: outboard spline 26 inboard spline 26 & 2 blank

90-94 Protege LX
left side: outboard spline 26 inboard spline 26
right side: outboard spline 26 inboard spline 24 & 2 blank

Mx3 V6 - 28 spline count

And the 90-94 is all BG, but 95-98 is BH


you have to be sure your looking up GS parts, and not 4cyl RS parts. And hopefully ur AZ axle isnt like the oem one. I myself attempted this with a 95 hub from a GS and it didnt work with a 93 mx3 gs axle. i beat and pushed and pounded, and the bitch wouldnt go in, i ended up breaking it. And i got a 93 Escort GT Hub and it worked.

Hubs, and axles form both the mx3 GS v6, and the protege lx/escort GT from years 90-94 are all interchangeable. I just don twant you all wasting any more money or resources!

[.:Stirfry:.]

skinnes bit

[kfzemx3]

use escort gt or protege lx axles, only ones that are interchangeable with the GS. infact the protege lx are lighter than the GS hubs

[DeeAOne]

only thing is, will the escort/protege hubs bolt to the bf chassis? as i proved with the mx-3 mount, somethings are a little different. i really dont want to lose the 4x114 pattern on the front. the 88-90 capri xr2 has a 28 count, but its 4x100 too. and the only other 4x114 i could find was the mercury topaz but it has 26, same as mine.

i guess i can ride around on two different wheels for now. lol

your gonna have to be the guinea pig...lol. Since the hybrid axle idea wasnt gonna work. Def try the xr2 hubs also

[94ej2]

ill let you borrow the v2's for track day if you go 4x100

[xdavidscenex]

ill borrow them tooo and keep em since you owe me 1k? sound good?

[SlenderEG6]

^ sounds like a damn good trade to me!

[DeeAOne]

updates coming.

[jew_boy]

..

[DeeAOne]

what got done today.

pulled the car out again to clean up the garage. so i snapped a few pictures of the clearance under the car.

oh also have plugs and wires in.



looks pretty good.




also modified the support bar for the linkage. had to take about an inch out of it to bolt up.



also finished the front of the passenger side mount.






and one with the hood in place. it does clear!


im going to attempt to use my 4 cylinder alternator so i need to put a groove belt pulley on it. ill post up when thats done. after that..axles.

[JITB]

did you connect the p/s hoses to the rack so you can loop it. dont forget about the power steering pump needing to be able to pump fluid so it wont seize up!

loooks great tho!

[SlenderEG6]

cute

[DeeAOne]

no thats what i wanted to do but mike thought it would be smart to weld up the inlet and outlet. ill probably have to get a new one.

wow..... and im the one who is doing my swap wrong??

yea that wont work...lol it will seize up..and u will have a problem on your hands..lol. just get s a pullapart one. And you can maybe gut it out like you said, but it still may seize up over time. Put some fluid in the rack, and seal it up with bolts. And do the same with the p/s pump, and loop it.

Or you can just use your bf p/s hard lines from the rack, and pair them up with the KL p/s hardlines. thats what i did, if your gonna have to run it, might as well use it..

well in a way it is sealed like you said, just welds instead of bolts. lol

[JITB]

did he weld the rack or the power steering pump? i tried to plug up the p/s pump and it worked for all of 45 seconds...lol

[DeeAOne]

who said that?

i'll see how it works anyway.

[quickdodge®]

Get that bitch running so you can bring it to Atlanta. Later, QD.

[SlenderEG6]

lol u should have just ran pwr steering.. i mean it would be easier besides that rack is done its gonna seize like buddy said and u dont wanna be drivin and then its starts fukin up ya know

[DeeAOne]

true...it will have to do for now though.

and qd im working on it.

[SlenderEG6]

we still racin for 100 Gs ??

[DeeAOne]

ill race for a cheeseburger.

he welded the rack.

[.:Stirfry:.]

i thought that was all a joke..

but now i see that its not..

so is the person who is building a ls with gsr internals and ls head which will give it less tq then a stock ls.and you they think there going to run 11's but idk sh!t...

wow i see how much you knoe .......
thats just stupid.


.
my set-up
b16 block
ls crank
gsr rods
12:5.1 high comp pistons
ls head
t4 turbo on 45psi
with a 200 shit 2 stage frogger kit
and a JRSC
all on e85
.. and im shootin for 9s

but thats commin from a person who welds the ports shut on a steerin rack.
