They the V6's a 1.8L V6 from a MX3/Eunos E30 or are they the 2.5L from the MX6/626? Cause they'd be potent little bastards with the biggger engine conversion!

I'm surprised you guys haven't come across japanese sites like
fMazda and Lantishe before. Also Astinanation for the BG lovers.
One of the members Lantabo was the one who inspired me to go turbo
after seeing his conversion. I also kicked around the heater unit idea
being moved to the door after seeing mamonga's example.
I tried asking them about their modifications but there english was bad
and my japanese is even worse. I even tried using our japanese office
to retype my emails in japanese but didn't get any decent replies only
simple thank you for noticing the car.
I think a lot have moved on to new cars as the websites aren't hardly
updated any more. They even had wild stuff like twin headlight
conversions and stuff.

Regards

Mal

Thats one nice looking 6, its not the V6 out of A 30x, that would be a step back in power output, figures went like this:

Aussie spec
1.8L (30x) 99kw
2.0L (323) 108kw
2.5L (626/MX6) 121kw

Jap spec
1.8L (30x) ??
2.0L (323) 121kw
2.5L (626/MX6) 150kw

To me it looks like the jap spec 2.0L v6 (KFZE), the easiest way to tell is the extra VRIS hump at the back of the manifold and the larger and squarer intake runners, the jap engine made more power to the aussie spec ones due to higher comps, more agressive cams and the different IM design.
