and last and most important is the grounds. my car did start and my dad did the last final hook ups while i was working and it didnt start. the problem was that the ground were not properly clean off

Please let me know any options.

It's only going to put out 190+ at the crank if it's in top condition, running on the JDM ECU, and it's running on high octane fuel.

You bought the 2.5 V6 right? I think it has 205hp with 195lbs tq? Am i correct? I am planning on buying one for my 626. Let me know when you get it running, id like to check it out and maybe even ride in it.

Also, i am in a car forum that deals all about 626's and probes.
www.mazda626.net
And one that deals with probes only
www.probeaddiction.com

^^^
Those are good websites when it comes to tuning and ordering parts for the JDM V6.

Like i said good luck and keep me updated with the progress.

I do believe the question was for him as well, not you. And I aslo asked the question before he stated what engine he had purchased.
