True KLZE?
True KLZE?
Hey, am looking at a KLZE. Was just wondering if it is a true KLZE - have heard of people getting ones that look similar but are not. So yeah, real or not real? Is there a way to check without having to check the heads?

yeah in my own opinion a curved neck ZE is almost like a KLDE.... might as well take your money and buy a DE and build it up.

ya they pretty much covered it. you have like a 50/50 chance of it being a true klze seeing as how ull be paying for shipping and if it turns out to be a de then youl have to ship it back and gunna cost ya alot of $$$ so u might as well buy a straight nect then buy like a millenia IM and u know for sure it the real s---.

All 2.5's or as i should say KL use the same injectors.
Definitly get a straight neck and swap curved neck manifold on it, make sure you get the correct throtle body for the curve neck because its 60mm compared to the k8 which is 55mm and it will affect the performance of the motor.

A straight neck can actually fit in a MX3 though with some modifications
When you guys say millenia IM, do you mean as a millenia IM from a KLZE engine (J-Spec Millenia)?
Whats the difference between a curved neck ZE and a DE I/M?

Exactly. The curved-neck Millenia DE has square runners like a ZE, it's one of the reasons why the Millenia is rated for 170hp rather than 165hpmx3autozam wrote:There is no difference!Juans_93_MX3 wrote:A straight neck can actually fit in a MX3 though with some modifications

I've known people to buy a Curve neck manifold used and it never had a throtle body, sure you can use a k8 but its smaller.Mooneggs wrote:Doesn't the curved neck COME with the correct TB??mx3autozam wrote:All 2.5's or as i should say KL use the same injectors.
