Question What engine should I get?

I own a 93 V6 Probe 5spd. I want to start working on the performance of my Probe. What motor should I get and where and how much? I started my performance trip by ordering a cold air intake, but I want to put an engine in my dads garage, so let me know what you all think.
Thanks!

Oh and if anyone has some parts for sale for a probe GT, let me know. Interior, body kits, anything.

The KLZE JDM V6 that comes in the 323 variant in Japan has higher HP . It will go in the Prove/MX6/MX3/323 ....

Very peppy nicel revving motors ...

Im guesing that anyone who owns a Probe/M6 goes with a KLZE, right?
Can anyone tell me what the difference between the ZE and the stock motors are?
Thanks

I wouldn't worry about going with another motor. The KLZE is not a huge upgrade. You are already at 170bhp. I would just decide where you want to go first off (how fast/how much HP). People have slapped turbos on your current engine many times. Not to mention alot more adding shots of N2O and getting great results. I would start with some bolt ons and go from there.


Oh and check out probetalk.com and mx6.com (same drivetrain and the MX6)

To: Ride Or Die-

Maybe I should just buy a motor from a junk yard and start worken on it in my dads garage?
And can the stock engine internals hold up to the PSI from a turbo kit?
I was thinken about a supercharger, maybe. What do you think?

Oh and I am on "Probe Talk"
Thanks.

Well I didn't know you needed an engine to begin with. If you have the money/knowledge go ahead and do the KLZE swap. But if it were me I'd spend that money building your current engine to handle some good boost and go from there.

a stock KLZE will hold enough to blow the tranny apart, so I wouldn't ever build one... unless you like changing trannies monthly.
