Sheesh! looks pretty 2nd hand....

if it is a KFZE, then it could be the type-r engine....., however it could also be from a standard Lantis, i believe the difference is in the cams, Custommx3 has done a fair bit of research on the topic

*edit* just noticed where you're from, are you sure it even a J-spec engine? i understand there was a 323F with the KF engine in Europe

Edit: Seems like it is from the European 323F model, i.e. not the type-r engine then.

i took pictures of the engine, for sure not a k8 cause its quite smaller. They told me when bought car it was the 2.0 so being that true is the kfze either 160hp version or the 170hp version, so here are the pics.

DUDE thats not the 170 hp..in fact it looks like the k8..... the 170 hp one ahs squared runners./ 160 hp has round runners. Not worth getting ... take valve cover off...if it deads on the cams KF-01 its the 160 version.. if it reads K8 then its the k8.

That looks like a k8....

As far as size , a K8, KF, KL, and a KLZE are all the same size externally.

Thats the stock 1.8L K8, sorry. Just check the codes on the head under the intake runners.

The only way to tell is pull hte mainafold off and look to
see if its round or square runners the mainafolds external
profile is the same for round and square runners
