hey everyone i am working on installing a klde that i purchased in my mx.. i was wonder what numbers i should expect.. i know the klde is rated at like 164hp, but i have kl31 cams, and Klze 10-1 comp. pistons, also i will be using the DE Intake mani, i have SS autochrome headers, short ram intake and 2.5 inch exhuast. thanks guys..

I'd say about 170WHP. Hard to say though, it could very from 150-175 depending on tuning

You essentially have a klze on your hands now. Only thing missing is the higher flowing heads and ze IM. I would think you should only be about 15hp short of a ze. I am guessing 185-190 hp at the crank.

^^^ agreed those figures sound about right.

now what shoul you guys suggest using for a ECU and VAF.. i right now have a Klde Ecu but only the k8 vaf

use the k8 ecu with the je50 vaf

170 whp on nah thats to much. Dyno it. who knows.

the je50 vaf.. isnt htat the k8 one? thats the one i have..

Yes the je50 is the k8 vaf, the vaf you already have.

I think your ECU and MAF is gonna depend on your IM or your VRIS is gonna be all wrong. Since you're using the DE manifold I'd say get a probe/mx6 ecu and run th KL MAF

^that seems like a lot of acronyms

oh yah i have the k8 TB .. i need to find a solution to this haha

use a DE vaf and DE ECU. with the de ecu in an mx3 it won't operate the vris properly, actually not at all. So control the vris with msd window switches. Reason i say use this ecu/vaf combo is because the a/f ratio is perfect. All the other ECU's seem to run rich.
