want a 96 to have ze? worth the trouble?

Post by Damious »

hi everyone, im planning on buying a Mx-3, i was just wondering, what would go into making a 96 Mx-3 GS have a proper running KLZE install (ie, the ecu as well)? would it be all that difficult? or should i just go for a 95, i wanna get the highest year i can, but dont wanna cause myself a huge headache once the ze day comes.

thanx for the help

First off, all whats wrong with 92-95 gs's? and second i don't know to much about OBD1 and OBD2, but im pretty sure having obd1 would be easier to but a ze in and that means 95 or earlier. Do some searching around for more info. But after that its a regular ze swap. Need the engine, ecu or JE50 vaf. But its all in the faq's on the site.

thanx for the contact, it may come down to that... however i would really like to at least try it myself before i had it over to a professional... from what i hear its pretty straightforward (as straightforward as completely swapping in a new engine can be... haha). but non the less i will keep the contact and try myself.

thanx for all the help guys, looks like 95 it is.

appreciate it
