Posable klze ?



  • well its hard to tell. Obviously it has the millenia curved neck IM. I'd have a go on mx-3.com with this pic. They'll probably tell you to try and read the head codes, or cams, or look down the spark plug hole for dished or flat pistons. Maybe the engine code on his v5 could be used to verify?



  • haven gone to see it yet will defantly check head codes



  • it had kl 1a1 heads whats that ? good stuf ?



  • Some links to help you:

    The Intake Manifold:
    http://www.barrykclark.com/intakes.html
    The Heads.
    The heads should read KL31-101

    keep in mind some Millena engines have these heads and intake manifold.
    They do however lack the pistons and the cams of a KLZE engine.
    The millenia KL will also have EGR.

    So to be honest I don't know. Not without knowing the cams and the pistons. Maybe you could research to see what engine came as stock for that xedos. Wiki pedia reckons its 2.5L 170 hp (127 kW) V6. So not quite what your after for NA, but maybe a good route for turbo.



  • That geocities link is really enough to put me off. I feared it would be bad enough comparing 2 engines the KLZE to the KLDE let alone the variants within each.

    Also what are front clips that nobody sells with the engine? I never knew I needed front clips or any clips for that matter. I just thought I needed the engine and the clutch.



  • lol tbh I dont think it's not the end of the world if you don't end up with the proper ZE. It's still gonna whip a K8, and if its not ZE then it'll be happier for turbo down the line.

    Front clips no idea what they're on about. Maybe the circlip for the axle outta the tranny? I left that half in the tranny whilst taking the engine out, saves the bother of that bollox.



  • well it will be good for turboing so im gonna bid for it as thats my intention



  • just got it for £315.00 1995 MAZDA XEDOS 9
    full car to strip
    so i can use engine and ecu and sell off other bits



  • the only one you really dont want though is the kf! It's a 2litre, which is no fun. But I'm sure where ever you've seen this says 2.5 right? Well hope it's good to you and it's the right engine you're after :?: :!: Oh yea and make sure the donor and your car are OBD one (3plug ecu)



  • yeh i went up erlyer to check the head coads defantly 2.5 now i just got to go up there and get it so i can get my engine run it as irt is for a year then turbo wooo



  • lol nice one, sounds like a bargain, I guess now you can take it apart and find out what it really is! And at that price could sell on for profit if it's not right!



  • yeh well its got kl1a1 heads Curved neck manifold and looks like flat top pistons its a auto to got to use k8 flywheel and box

    sounds mix and match ze pistons and manifold with de head will check cams next weekend when i get it back down hear



  • Nice one, you going to rebuild it or is it running sweet? Yea you k8 flywheel is lighter than the 2.5 fly anyway. Glad you've got something sorted. Get the project log rolling ;)



  • its running sweet atm but im gonna strip rebuild and cleen it up paint bits and new seels through out so i have worry free motering for a while



  • woot woot klze are invading britain. such a wonderfull thing. you will love the klze. may i advise one thing. soon as u are able and u have done performance mods exhaust / tb etc. get a standalone. the engine is amazing for going quick. but not so good at fuel economy and a standalone helps with both :D



  • i was gonna go with jt tuned piggy back system
    waht size and where did you get your tb ?



  • ok wat cams should i hope to fined in my head ?
    geting it tomoz so will look when i get it back hear after it cools down a bit
    cant wate realy excited about it



  • think your lookin for kl31 stamped somewhere
    just finished doin mine prety much jus waitin for a few more bits ie water pump, cambelt etc to do
    apparently dont do heads unles they need itu can mess stuff up
    put the k8 flywheel box etc on and looks about redy to drop in
    hope urs runs without a hitch mate
    my main prob has been time takin to polish every thin up an a few bodt touch ups for this season 2, ie had a few stone chips so decided to respray the whole front, bonet and rims :wink:
    let us know how its commin



  • kl31 are the 'true' ze cams. But from what I've read, it's in debate as to whether it really matters.

    kl31 seem to really kick in at the top end
    kl01 have better lower end torque

    which is ironic considering the kl31 head & cammed ZE is the one that has the weak intake valve spring retainer problem - which floats, drops and fails at high RPM- where it's cammed to work best!

    So I wouldn't worry what you've got :D



  • ok i have kl 01 cams
    but there in kl 1a1 heads
    and flat top pistons

    waht do i have ?
