KLZE….???

@d3fc04917e=barrywhite21:
Mechanic installed the engine which was bought imported from Japan and he has checked when he dropped it in and %100 confirms this. :D
I meant are you sure it was from a 626 :lol: I'd have thought you'd notice if it weren't a ZE, by missing 35hp…
-
Well i dont know tbh but thats what he bought it as, also ive not had it dyno'd so can't say for %100 but i had a 1.8 v6 which was supposed to be 130bhp and this is a lot faster…..
Dynoing in the next month or so will post up results.
Also mechanic might have had it dyno'd but he will have to confirm that.
I dont wanna have to change my tag line to KLDE Power :(

See, I've heard similar things about other 626s, but no-one's been able to confirm that they had a J-spec, 2.5 626 from which they pulled a ZE - merely that they've bought one supposedly from a 626.

wow there some shit hot stat's,
so what cars are these ZE's capable of beatin as standard,
cos i'm fucked off with Fiesta ST's beating a v6 WTF
but on the other hand it keeps up with Audi TT's up to 120mph on the open road, Strange???
would this be like FTO/Integra Type R catagory

**Well, you'd certainly see acceleration at that level - you're looking at 200hp/1100kg compared to 200hp/1200kg (FTO) and 200hp/1150kg (ITR), but with more torque (165lbft to 150lbft to 130lbft). You'd bounce off the limit of the MX-3's gearbox - which is 141mph if memory serves - but the MX-6 'box should allow you through to 155mph.
Fiesta ST (presumably the Mk7) has a 150hp 2 litre, so it's not too surprising that it'd have the legs on our 130hp V6. They handle like a fat sack of crap though.
Audi make a FWD TT with 160hp, but it's kinda heavy and the MX-3 should be relatively level with it for quite a bit of the time. The base 4WD model, though more powerful, is heavier and has to push a 4WD system - which means that it actually has about the same wheel power than the entry level FWD model (near enough 135hp at the wheels for each). The 4WD system gives an initial accelerative benefit through mechanical grip, but at speed it's just dead weight and wasted power - so a standing start against a FWD TT should be evenly matched, and a rolling start against a 4WD 180hp one should also be evenly matched. The 225 or the V6 version is a bit more one-sided :lol:**

The receipt i received said 626 auto, never had it dyno.
Did strip it down and checked number on heads and cams etc.. they were all ok for KLZE. :D

**I think I'll keep it on the "rumour" list then for now.
I was hoping, with a screenname like "Mechanic", you'd actually pulled it yourself :D**

Surley with him checking the code on the heads and cams we can put this in the defo's.
My dyno results will confirm this. My mrs just got an Iphone so i will make her get dynoliscious with might give me an idea. It tells you peak hp, peak g's pulled and time from 0-100 split into 10 second gaps and some other stuff.

Did they ever do a U8##
Reason I ask the V5 for my Eunos states the Engine code as U8.
Going off the Bikes I've had, The Engine code has always been right with Rotax 122, and 123. Didn't know if cars have a sep coding system?
Sorry for the stupid question, if it is a stupid question.

**Definitely a ZE, yes. I'm not doubting that. Definitely from a 626? Aside from it appearing on an invoice, there's no physical evidence of that engine being in that car.
As I said, it has been rumoured but I've never heard of someone physically pulling a ZE from a 626.**

Ah i see what your saying now. Yeh that is possible.
I just joined the 626 forum to ask them….. Will post outcome!

Oddly, the thought never occurred to do that. Possibly because the thought never occurred there'd be a 626 forum :lol:

Loooool i know! It was very empty looking tbh :shock:
I posted it at 9:30 ish this morning, so far 9 views no replies :(

best bet is mx6.com theres usually some 626 guys on there and think there might be a 626 forum section there too???.
Not sure what happened but alot of the uk guys there have left after falling out with the u.s side and started there own uk forum somewhere. Think heckler who is registered on this site is the guy who runs it. He will also prob know the answer to your KLZE-626 question.
-
the engines have the number stamped on them to tell you what it is at a glance.
you dont need to believe and its not witchcraft to know whats in what car. they have been about for a year or two now. lol

Really? i hear its nice and smoggy this time of year :D

Apparently there was a ford telstar with a KLZE. :?

Famine the 626 forum admin has confirmed there was a 626 Klze however its was Japan only.

That's disturbing. They were sold in Japan too, for some reason.

**Call me awkward here, but… that doesn't really look like confirmation. "Of course there was" meets pretty much the same level of proof as 626 appearing on a receipt for the engine - and the following lack of certainty ("I think only in Japan") - still leaves this pretty much up in the air.
I'd love to hear from someone who has actually pulled a ZE from a 626 (or Telstar… Brrrrrrrr).
For clarification, I'm not saying there was never a ZEd 626. I am saying that I've heard rumours of it before but I've never had satisfactory confirmation from someone who's had hands on one, such as we have - repeatedly and often - from MX-6s. It's not an "argument", more a search for proof.**
