will the KF-ZE fit?

Post by ilovemymazda »

will the kf-ze from corksport fit into my 93 gs without me having to replace anything. i blew the engine because it was low on oil. so is it worth it to get the 2.0 or should i find another 1.8. i really want my car back soon so help me.

Dj Continum Please read up , I know you are new just don't post wrongful information if your not sure , Kl-ZE's are not alot of problems they are more work , But what do you expect out of a hybrid setup .

you HAVE to have a KFZE ECU.<p>I'll probably be using a 1.8L IM untill I can get a KFZE one thats curved. Or I may modify the car to use the straight neck KFZE one.<p>Image<p>[ September 05, 2003: Message edited by: Custommx3 ]</p>

We will soon find out if that is the right ecu for the kfze because I will be mailing one off in a couple days... the KF manifolds I have seen are sooooo close to the k8 manifold. Oh and to correct whoever said the ze swap is harder than an 03(DE) swap is wrong all 3 motors are basically the same....

Well, the distributors have to be swapped (cause its stock with an external coil on the KLZE and the KL is the same distributor as the K8.) Also the ZE doesnt have the EGR setup, the KL does. Also the engine coolant temp sensor on some have to be swapped over (drilled and tapped).
