KLZE ID - Look Here!

Told yee :P
You could try UK-poc. Tbh you'll probably struggle to find a better deal than chris/freedoms at the minute, even though it's not 100% ZE, it's still putting out great power. Can nippon not get a ZE for you at all then?

Well, we've had a recon from Dubai which fell through, a used engine in Birmingham which has ??? confusingly disappeared, and assorted phonecalls not returned from other suppliers. I've got an OBD2 swap planned, everything sat here waiting; stage 3 clutch, afpr, kl02 vaf, plugs, fluids, leads, blah blah. Even an OBD2 pc adaptor to get the codes to a laptop. Even have a mechanic lined up and agreed.
I do need a good engine at the right price though, small problem.
Last I heard from my contact at Nippon was that I was going to get a phonecall today asking for full payment, but he appears to have had some emergency, and ain't in. No-one else there knows about it.
:cry:

thats no 1.6
the 1.6 is a 4 cylinder lol
its a k8 in those pics

James - You can see why I posted the question right?! I don't think the guy at Nippon is having a good Monday… Probably wait for the other guy to get back, which might be tomorrow, or who knows? :roll:
Again, cheers for the help here guys.

no youd need the heads
and i built it
was told that the bottom end was a ze wen i got it
and definately looked different to the one that was one there
you would need heads and im and an ecu to make a full ze
hope this helps

That's cool, but I have no idea whether it's compatible or not. I'm just going to have to wait for a ZE proper. Nippon have told me they can get me a recon, but I reckon it'll be a new order from Japan, so 6 weeks on the boat.
No rush…. :roll:
-
could always turbo your k8 in the meantime ;)
-
yeh a turbo k8 on 6 psi boost can just about brake the 200 bhp mark
-
plus more torque, I think it'd whip a ZE alright.
-
My k8 blew on the motorway at speed. Seized. It was not fun. I need a new engine.
:cry:
-
That is such bad timing, i just threw out a complete working k8 lump, you could of had it for the price of shipping…
New i should of hung on to it. Sorry :?
-
Cheers anyway mate.
Don't tell the girlfriend but I'm not too disappointed in having a good excuse to upgrade the car… The stock car is great, had it for nearly 5 years, but I drove another MX3 with a ZE in a few weeks back, I wouldn't want to go back to the 1.8 now.
