K8 ecu with Je50 VAF, WOT power is almost identical the kl31/36 ecu's. It's the shits tho for idling, cruising and cold starts. On cold starts it's super rich, like im talking you could probably light the exhaust on fire lol.

I would think is makes sense to get the ZX2 spring made for the ZX2 strut no? No. Especially if you've got the V6 then the spring rates will be completely off. No the ZX...

You can shift without the clutch. I've done it many times in the mx-3 and my old protege you just gotta be in the 'zone' <perfect rev matching> I didn't even have a tach in my protege just went by feel.

The lightest 15x6.5 wheels I've found are the Desmond regamaster EVO's AKA spoon sw388's they weigh 8.6lbs each.

Does anyone know of a tire weight list? I've searched but to no avail.

It's not TPS, or o2's or anything like that it's just the return springs suck on the throttle plate especially when hot. Clean the gunk out with throttle body cleaner and it will help.

If comfortable with smaller mechanical jobs the engine swap shouldn't be too difficult, just keep chewing away at it.

I had nitrous on the ZE and man did that thing come alive. If you up the shot to 75 I'd recommend adding a coldstart injector which you can tap off the n2o solenoid. Remember nitrous doesn't make power, fuel does.

Also did you put colder plugs in?
