smokin mx-3 <BR>I was wondering what your setup is. It sounds like you went to a-spec. Could I just order the ms-8 manifold and bold it on?<BR>Tonight I am going to look for numbers on the heads.

[Smokin mx-3]

yes you can buy the ms-8 manifold and bolt it on <BR>I did not get my swap at a -spec but I do go there for parts <BR>the pic above is a kl-ze ms8 version <BR>all versions with the ms8 that i have seen <BR>have that front valve cover <P>and the mx-6 kl-ze have just mazda on the front valve cover<p>[ September 25, 2002: Message edited by: Smokin mx-3 ]

okay, I verified that its a KLZE I was getting worried. Says KL31-1A1 on the head (facing towards the front of the car. It was kind of behind the middle runner(if thats what there called, not sure) and had to use a flashlight to see the full number. <P>I want a better intake manifold though, I was thinking about ordering one from a 2.5 millenia (us spec) for 50-100 dollars from car-parts.com...is this a good idea?

My KLZE came with a valve cover with just Mazda on it.<P>That intake manifold looks like a K8, not an MS8. It has the K8 elbow for the #1 VRIS, the small #2 VRIS cover, and a passage for EGR (a Japanese MS8 definitely will not have that). It also appears to have the plate between the TB and the IM which only the K8 uses.<P>What two letters (or combination of letter and number) are within an oval on the block below the head on the firewall side on the timing cover end?<p>[ September 26, 2002: Message edited by: pelado ]

The picture I have posted is a KF-ZE (2.0l)<BR>It's in a 323F (Astina)

[Smokin mx-3]

if it has that number on the head then it is a kl-ze<BR>I also don't think that you are going to be able to find a ms8 manifold on carparts.com <BR>maybe in the states <BR>they usually go for 400cdn when people have them <BR>us-spec are from a 96 and up 2.5L millenia

Will the US-Spec manifold work? just as good as the MS8?

These heads came on the domestic 2.5 millenia, and I beleve the 99 and up 2.5 626 as well as all KL-ZE's.<P>The domestic millenia and the j-spec millenia 2.5 engine are EXACTLY the same from the OUTSIDE , except the J-spec has block off plates where the egr valve would go and the rear exhaus manifold has no hole for the egr tube.<P>I have seen web sites for the efini MS-8 and it dose not list the 2.4 miller cycle as an available engine only the KF-ZE and KL-ZE which leads me to belive that it is just a 626, another web site listed all engines that ever came in all millenias and the KF-ZE was never offered in the melenia.<P>If you want to refer to the milenia manifold just say curved neck, millenia, or J-spec millenia, dont use MS8.
