lets not have arguments on the board.

i think i got a deal 93-94 2.5 below 80,000m with computer, and air sensor, garunteed to run 636.00

[iain]

guaranteed to run for how long? be VERY careful with a price that low. people have gotten burned on ZE sales in the past.

[CRUISIN3P]

actually, the japaneese Do retire cars, cuz see, taxes are actually cheaper on BRAND new cars then used ones. MY school took a trip there and my teacher told us this, so they said u oly see cars that are like brand new, cuz in the long run, insurance, taxes and evrything is cheaper, so after everything, u end up paying less, but im' almost postive the tannies that they have over there are all 5-spd autos, but correct me if i'm wrong.

[Esper]

all trannies are 5 speed autos? sorry, no.

its not a ZE. its a kl-03, and 30 days, which for the price and what it includes, is pretty damn good. if its bad i'll rebuild it (which i'm thinkin of doin anyway)

[KNOCKOUT]

Wait, so the MX-6 V6 is actually a KLD, not a KL-03?<P>Why is there so much confusion about the nomenclature on Mazda engines and parts?

[93mxrgs]

i beleive kl-03 was sumthin started on one of the probe boards er sumthin, but mine is from the US, and yes the correct term is kld03 which i was aware, off, buy my question to you, is why did it make any differnce or were just lookin to post sumthin .i believe that they're 169 hp though arent they (flywheel) and about 144hp at the wheels, i read that one one of the swap sites

[Sonic]

I don't think Mazda ever does a whp rating. 140-44 sounds about right, however.<P>By the way... Screw the KLD. KL_ZE is where it's at! <P>Still waiting for some one to do a KJ swap.<p>[ December 27, 2001: Message edited by: Sonic ]

If anyone has taken the time to look... corksports has done both... they have sold ze's which are rarely in stock... or they take wrecked 03's and put ze heads on them... i know because i went for an intake manifold and they had them all from wrecked probes and mx6s. it is quite possible for them then to sell a us spec 2.5 bottom with a jap spec head at considerable savings on their part. there are a few people in the washington state area alone who have had problems with them in that respect. they are a great force to contend with in the mx-3 realm due to the fact that they are one of the only retailers catering to mazda owners. for that i applaud them... however, derek should hire better help in house and not put off everything as from japan, when he's buying used engines in bulk from olympia washington( that is a direct quote from corksports owner, and verified by his sidekick lackey ben)... later folks and .... i bout my 2.5 in canada for 580... jap spec.... only needed to replace the gaskets.... simple task for that money...<P>furious

That is quit a claim there man. I feel you are in error however.<P>Your talking about the Eunos 800/Millenia manifolds Corksport sells so the MX-3 guys can actully fit a ZE in their car. As for the heads swapping and the bulk engine buying from Olympia? Well, you just made all that up.<P>The Olympia thing... There is a wrecking yard there which they use to locate misc used parts. A friend of the store works there. They have parts locating equipment so they can find any used part. Corksport uses them to find Millenia mainifolds for the above stated reason. They are not sold off as anything but used Millenia intake manifolds. The Eunos 800 is very rare wich would mean that MX-3 guys would not be able to swap out for a KL_ZE. The manifold on a Eunos 800 VS. a Japanese MX-6 is the ONLY difference in the two engines also. Selling an MX-3 guy a Millenia manifold allows the ability to swap in a KL_ZE.<P>I really wish people would know what they are talking about before they get on a board and talk non-sence.<p>[ December 28, 2001: Message edited by: Sonic ]
