KLZE info

**rylinkus** · 5-30-03, 18:27

Okay, since I don't have time to work on a car right now (Or do anything else really) I'm having the garage that blew my motor install the KLZE I'm buying. Is there anything I need to have to get it in. Or anything special I need to tell the about getting it into the car. I know there's an FAQ but I really don't have the time to read through the whole thing, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out a bit.

Don't have time to read the FAQ, well then I don't have time to answer any part of your question @- j/k

As for getting the ZE in:

1. An aftermarket/custom intake becasue the IM is shaped a little different than the 03 one.

2. If you are running a jspec ECU I believe you need to get a MAF from an mx3 to get full potentional out of the motor.

3. An adjustable FPR would be a good idea

4. Make sure the shop changes all the obvious...belts, hoses, waterpump...and a complete reseal wouldn't hurt either.

5. You will need to use the ditsy from your 03.

That should get you started....

I don't see why you just didn't look at the FAQ, I know its 32523289 posts, but damn...all that info is in the first post. Good luck with the ZE!!!

Thanks for the response. When working 70 hour weeks I dont have time to research as much as I'd like. So to clarify all I NEED is the custom intake for now, since the ECU won't be changed til later.

And I didn't realize the FAQ had all pertinent info on the first post. I just saw all the pages and didn't even open it since I just don't have any time. Thanks again. I appreciate the info

Il keep yall posted

If you really want to stick with the basics, all you need is the disty... The 03 elbow will work (with a little bending

)... Just be carefull bending it, if it's old, it could crack.

Enjoy!

Basics for now.... The garage that destryoed my engine will reimburse me for a new engine for my car..... Any engine

But I'm sure if I said I needed a new ECU and MAF and ots of other little add ons they might start to get irritated with me. All in all this will simply leave me with a bunch of little projects for later on.

Is there anyplace where you can buy a custom intake?

My waterpump stopped working... and I kinda didn't take it to the shop for a few weeks... so now I need a new engine - figure... why not get a KLZE?!

Needa find that intake though..

Obviously you can swap the A/E spec intake (including the factory filter piping etc) from your KLO3 on to your ZE.. but as with the ecu you don’t get the full gains from the motor.. you will also have to do something with the EGR valve
You will have to swap the rear bank exhaust manifold over and the egr valve .. you will then have to drill a hole in the rear head and swap a little grub screw from the old motor to the new. (all in all a 10 min job)To get it working .. That is if you have the need to pass emition tests..
You will also have to swap your vacuum hoses around a wee bit .. and yes all this info is on the FAQ thread .. so look @ at it you lazy B. J/K

How much of a gain will you get by using the jspec chip?

And I've never heard of Illinois having an emissions test...

What things sound like to me is that all I need to have done is some hoses switched around and a intake that fits?

as for power gains, i did not notice much of a power increase, but it was easy to tell that the motor was much healthier running with the correct ecu. instead of it being a strait torque curve(which was kinda fun), it started acting similar to an 03 again, just with a higher power band. it seems like my power band has just been moved up a few hundred rpms, but also there is a lot more power on tap.
