Variance between Kl-03 and Kl-ze

[ZUNE MX-3 Gs]

After doing a search here in Spain, I can´t manage to find any Kl-ze motor, the only Kl motor that is easy to find here are the Kl from Probes Gt.I think that it´s rated at 164 Hp, and the Kl-ze one is at 200Hp.Is possible swapping parts and adjusting the compression ratio to achieve that horsepower on the Kl03 or that would be more expensive that trying to import one from the States? (Japan is really far from here from side to side!!) I think that the most important items to swap would be:<BR>- Intake Manifold<BR>- Ecu<BR>- K8 or Kl-ze Vaf (the same?)<BR>- Kl-Ze cams<BR>What about the headers? somebody know what size are they bored? are the throttle body same sized? the Exhaust manifolds are identical?

It would probably cost more to build a KL-ZE from a bunch of parts than to order one from the U.S or canada.<P>The only place they come from is japan. So unless there is an importer in spain you will have to get one shiped to you.<P>There are a couple of places that import these engines in north america.<P>Also if you do a google search you will find some places in New Zealand that also import the KL-ZE and will ship anywhere.
