Re: Internal engine interchange.
ah yeah, I've been searching high and low for his posts... only found ones where hes talking about boosting it, and then one where he was about to stroke it :lol: ... never found the thread of his build. What exactly went wrong? I know that the piston pins are 1mm smaller on K8 pistons and thus the ...

You can deduce from the two graphs that using a K8 ECU on a KL would result in a loss of torque (and therefore horsepower) from 1,900-3,900 rpm, and again from 4,250-4,700 rpm, leaving aside any differences in fuel/timing maps. again, good detailed info! The KL-ZE has different VRIS points than the...

... not to kill your motor but may affect power, there are differences in VRIS activation points that definitely WILL affect power This is exactly what i'm experimenting with. I have a KLDE with ZE intake mani and (half the) ZE cams... actually KL01 cams on the rear and KL31 cams on the front :p an...

finnally found it... and for YOUR convenience (if anyone was wondering the same thing)
both closed from 0-1900
both open from 1900-2800
VRIS 1 opens at 3900 (this works for me!)
VRIS 2 opens at 4700 (this also works for me!)
and both close again at 6300....(a little too early for me, but not too bad)
