KL-03 MX-3s

Post by Soulflare »

Which intake manifold works on the KL-03? It comes with the straight neck and so needs a curved neck to fit in without modification to the master brake cylinder. Does a millenia intake manifold (curved neck)work on the 03? I know the ZE uses it but would it work on the 03 as well? Just curious on what other KL03 mx3ers are running with. Thx in advance.

Correction. The KL-03 manifold WILL fit an MX-3. It's the JDM MX-6 style manifold that will NOT fit. The KLZE came with both the curved neck (Millenia) and the straight neck (MX-6) manifolds.<BR>The Millenia manifold will work on either the ZE or 03, but like I stated above, there's no need to seek one out if you're doing an 03 swap.

i went through this problem twice:<BR>all you have to do when you'r doing a kl-03 swap, is to get a rubber intake elbow from TB to VAF...<BR>that's it.<BR>There is no need to buy a different IM.<BR> :D
Check out my ride and leave some feedback please!

So the US spec Intake manifold WILL fit in without modification? Is all US spec with the curved neck or just some? I know mine is the Jspec manifold so it doesn't fit due to the fact the engine is from Japan. I guess sourcing a manifold from a MX-6 is best option?

So do you have an 03 or a ZE? It sure is hard to tell from your posts!<P>US 626 and MX-6 manifolds will fit although I understand the fit is tight. MX-3 owners that perform the ZE swap (like me) use the Millenia manifold since it has the larger ZE runners but has a curved neck. The ZE manifold with the straight neck will simply not work in a MX-3.<P>You know you could have searched only a little bit and found all of this out.......<BR> :roll:<p>[ April 23, 2002: Message edited by: pelado ]

I have the 03 but however my manifold is straight neck so it won't fit. I just want to know what alternatives I have. I have tried searching but didn't get alot of help becuz I found mainly on ZE.
