EDY'S KLDE project….
-
Hi,guys!Bought that one last week for project.1997 k8 with 84k.Bodywork is in fair condition.Engine has bad knocking noise,etc.
My plans is do a full respray,fix up everything an fit in DE.Just give a car another life :lol:
I have got a DE with 112k from local scrapyard for £150.Just need wait til next week to get it home.
Here is some pics.
-
nice looking mx look foward to seeing your progress
-
thanks!hope,that everything will run as i have planned :)
-
Nice one Edy! You'll love the extra power! Can't wait to see it, great to have another mx3 on the island :)
-
Marco,I'm affraid about my wiring loom and ecu.My ecu is k862 with four ports and 3 yellow connectors.
-
Well it should run on the k8 ecu to start, but will run very rich. I have a ZE chipped ecu you can try and a few OBDI k8 ecus you could try before the swap to test if it matters.
-
i would be interested to try that obd1 k8 ecu.can i try DE ecu to run K8?
-
nice looking car edy, looking at the pix first stop will be a full induction system :wink:
-
it's hard to say,djmarcopolo.the first and main thing is get that DE in and get it running. :D
-
hei,guys.what clutch i should use? :)
-
-
For a DE/ZE I would use the mx6 v6 exedy/daiken clutch. It's what mazda chose and it's a great clutch that's perfect for a daily and fine for spirited driving.
-
thanks,guys!!what about this one???
And do this clutch fit k8 flywheel?
-
I'd go for the stage 2 or 3 F1 clutch from Sonicmotors.com. I had the 3 on my klze. A bit too grippy for ordinary road use, but did manage the immense torque..
-
tnx for info,guys!! :D i would like to go for cheap but good option at the moment,because my funds running wery low :( .can't wait to see that engine in my garage.hope,boys working hard and it will be out before weekend.Marco,do jou stil have that chippable k8 ecu for sale?
-
IMO the F1s aren't great anyway. Previous owner of my engine had one which came with the engine. The friction surfaces on the pucks/paddles were cracked despite looking barely used. Similar reports from mx-3.com and probetalk.
Go with the exedy. Part numbers are:
Clutch Release Bearing: BRG708
Clutch cover/pressure plate: MZC608
CLutch Disc: MZD007US
Whole Clutch Kit: MZK2080Yes Edy, have you got a chip ok?
-
no,Marco.haven't got chip yet.can i meet you somewhere this weekend for that ecu?
-
Well,guys.project is not moving forward as quick,as i wanted.went to scrapyard today and engine is not out yet.guy said,that probably next week. :cry:
-
hi everybody!just a little update.got DE home and fitted in tonight just to see that engine is ok.started up with k862 ecu and it run fine.then connected kl05 ecu and injection fuse blew out.i'm just confused now,can i chip up the k862?or i need to change all wiring loom.
-
Hi!At the end got free minute to my project :rofl: Ordered head gasket set and started strip,clean and inspect job to the engine.
