Here's the MX-3 I traded the Civic for.
bullllllllllshit.
The cooling system is different. The wiring harness is completely different. You will need different cv shafts.
It's similar to trying to put a KLZE in a 4-banger Mx6. It can be done, but only really if you have a parts car you can steal every single part from.
I didn't say it COULDN'T be done, just that it's MUCH HARDER.

but MM, harness and CVs aren't really a big deal. on a side note, i really miss my pgt, i wish i had the money to rebuild it
Nope. It has 2 triggers. Obviously this is what I've read, not what I've done first hand, but since someone is running COPs successfully, it must be so.

I actually almost bought a PGT this weekend to play around with. It ended up becoming a bidding war between me and one other guy, and he obviously wanted it WAY more than i did. lol.
BTW, what's wrong with your PGT?
parted it out, was just too much. it wouldn't get traction at all. on 6psi, it was ok, it would still spin some through second, raised it to 14psi and drove it like twice and just gave up, it was spinning and wheelhoping out of controll un-tuned in 4th gear. i still have the car with the motor and trans in it, just gave up. no point of making power if you can'nt put it down.

I only see one trigger in the schematic so either they used a different ecu or ignition system or built a flip-flop for it. Factory ecu can't drive wasted spark or cop.

Lazzer408, I know exactly what you are referring to with regards to traction problems. I also have a 4cylc MX3 that is boosted running 11psi on the same MX6 IHI turbo and it is wheel spin city in the first set of gears.
Saw it on m.net. Don't remember where or how. But they showed that the CAS had 2 different triggers. It came up somewhere when I was searching for cam or cam gear information.

I'd love to ditch this pos distributor if I can. I'll have to go dig and see if I can find some info on it.
Hey Lazzer408,
Here is the cardomain site:

Have a look and tell me what you think.

I am using the NA Supra 305cc/310cc injectors green tops. Mileage seems to be decent so far. Also using a Vortech 6:1 FMU to raise fuel pressure under boost. Car is moving pretty good at 12psi right now. I believe the Probe GT injectors may be 310cc and not 280cc but I may be wrong.

Do you happen to notice a drop in power at 3500rpm? Full throttle or light load it still does it. I can't locate the problem on mine but at exactly 3500 I bet there's a 25hp drop. Something activates and screws up the af or timing or something.
I took off the fpu I had on it. It didn't do anything but make it run like crap.

That could be. It's 3500rpm like clockwork as if a solinoid turned on or off. There's a few of them on the factory fpr to control pressures using a multitude of diaphragms and vacuum ports. It might be the VICS too. I'm not sure. I have some O2 clamps I made. I should use one. lol
Hey Lazzer408
I am very curious to see some wideband readings on your car considering you are running the 305cc injectors without a rising rate regulator or full management with map sensor. I would think you may be running lean at some points under boost.

It's actually not under boost that I have the 3500rpm power loss. At any load I feel it. I'll figure it out eventually. I haven't had alot of time to look into it. I'm running 280s I think. Whatever the ProbeGT uses. I want to get the AEM wideband gauge for my Miata. When I do that I'll throw the AFX in the 3.

I always run plain old coppers on turbo cars.
