I can't remember off the top of my head the two head codes on the engine. when you listed one of them, I did.
I think the the other was 101 instead of 1A1, but can't be bothered walking outside to double check

with those pics and numbers, that was definately a klze.

250 is probably mean 2.5 litre ? It was on the inlet manifold AND the timing belt cover.

If your not sure, look at a few others kl series engines first to compare :D

those numbers you listed on the head, yes that is a straight neck klze. same as mine. they are different numbers on each head, but ...

where abouts are you ?
that engine looks pretty good and clean to me. you seem to know what you're looking for.
which ever klze you buy, you're not going to know how it's been transported, if it runs well, if the owner in japan gave it lots of stick, how long it's been sitting. etc etc
it looks like ...

Great to see someone try & pull this swap off

Isn't the miller cycle too tall to clear the hood in our car ?

How would you get around this ? Modify the hood ?

the mx3 was called either an autozam az3 or eunos presso in japan.

one had the same k8 with 100kw..

the other had a k8 ze with 107kw.

either way the k8 sucks balls.

I have that battery :D

I didn't relocate it to the rear..

I'm in australia & am putting the straight neck ze in with this battery next to it..

done all the measurements, should fit ..

It's only 78mm thick, or just over 3 inches :shock:

Had it in for about a month, no problems, ze will ...

kl-01 cams come in sooner at a lower rpm range i am very sure on this




YES !!!!

the curve neck is off the eunos 800 and were all auto..

the reason the peak power band came in earlier is because the car was significantly heavier than the other cars that had the straight neck and to pull the ...

Gro, I gotta question, did the 4.11 tranny feel like it lost anything from the 4.39 ?

like revved a little slower or had a bit less at lower rpm ?

I imagine it wouldn't really feel any different - just that you can rev a little "further" in each gear...

what you think Gro ?

I think the klze is quite happy to be revved to 7000rpm..
my buddys' is :D

with the 4.39 tranny I believe in 2nd gear you would be doing about 90-95 km/h. ( about 55 mph ) at 7000 rpm..

with the 4.11 tranny at 7000 rpm in 2nd gear you would be doing about 100- 105 km/h ( about 60 - 63 mph )

So ...

I got a question guys, have any of you guys cut out this sheet metal as pictured, behind where the fog light would be to help the ventilation ?

over here in Australia we have fog lights so just wondering if ...

KL28...
It's the AU spec...
should be the the 1 that was running a klde in a probe, mx6, 626 AU spec etc, etc,,,,
that's what my buddy has sitting at his place, next to his klde he pulled both from his AU spec 626..

( The klze swap was done. )

KL02 VAF & KL28 ECU

that's crazy

the mind wonders

do you guys think slotted are a good upgrade ?

I've never liked drilled because I think it makes the rotor weaker & with them sometimes getting very hot..... well uhh ohh !!!

that's what I thought but wasn't 100%...
I figure I setting is stiffer than the other ?
