AUTOMATIC KLZE

Post by g3939 »

If anyone has ever heard of an automatic mx-3 being tuned into the KLZE please let me know if it is posibe because I want the extra power but I own an automatic and would rather keep it that way even if I loose a couple of horses. Please give me your inputs.

Since most KLZEs were bolted to autos over in Japan it seems only logical that they could work the same way in the US.

Beef up your slushbox though. At least ATX oil cooler and synthetic fluids, because it will have to work harder with ZE.

i would suggest you up to the mx-6 tranny, there was one guy with the ze attached to the mx-3 tranny and it gave in two months. Too much torque for the thin internals
