There alot of places that sell KLZEs. So many choices, so many different prices. How would one go about buying a KLZE, how to choose where to buy one from. Any personal experiences with any particular places? Any recommendations? Is there a reason why some places want $500 and some want $1500?

These are some places that I found that sell KLZEs

Your best deal is to buy from Engineworldusa. There $595+shipping. And their shipping rates are good. I've been to their warehouse, they know about the different KL engines.

I called them up and the guy said they have a KL but he didnt now if it was a KLZE, but he said its definatelly from Japan.... you think its a KLZE???

Moved to V6/technical

got mine from jdmengine corp . they are in richardson texas/ shipping is 150 all over the us.

You have to tell them you want the straight neck ZE.

any of these places reliable? sell good engines or is it same for all of them?

like i9 mkention, try jdm engine world usa, they only got curved neck as far as i know tho..

Yeah, but most of those curved neck ZE's aren't true ZE's. They won't have the both the ZE heads and cams. Straight neck will.

but then no one new to an engine swap would likely know how to fit in a straight-neck KLZE into an mx-3 engine bay would they? Isn't that a big PatDiesel secret recipe still?

no its not a secret.. alot of people have done it already. Use the search.


A curved neck is also a real ze, exception of the kl01 cams. I would prefer the straight neck over the curved neck tho.

its no big secret on how to get a straight neck in. many people aside from patdiesel have done it, just secah and you will see

This will be the first time of me hearing that a straight neck would fit in the MX3

Other then the intake manifold and the cams, any other differences between a curved neck KLZE and a straight neck?

If anyone pulls up the thread showing how to fit the straight neck inside a MX3, post it up.
I wonder how much work is involved. I also wonder why its better then a curved neck KLZE?

I thought you did something to the engine mounts in order to the tilt the engine forward a few degrees?

I saw one guy turn the throttle body upside down and it fit lol . I think theres a hood clearance issue tho. Which can be solved with a hood scoop?
