Thats just a regular ole american 2.5. Your the 2nd person on this list osaka has done this to. I know the other guy they were trying to screw him over. Not sure if he got a KLZE in the end or not.

These guys are such frigin a-holes!! They are just blatantly screwing people. Here is a link on how to identify a KLZE-

They have no idea what they are talking about or selling. The ford emblem alone on that engine gives it away. Just start talking about getting lawyers involved and how they have all ready done this to one person. Word gets around fast on the internet. If they want to stay in business they need to wake up.

KL31-101 is the ZE, KL101 is a KLDE. Not sure which one you meant had those codes.

Well seeing the Ford valve cover on it and they say it was imported from Japan means it came out of a Probe. Ford shipped tons of Probes over there. You better send it back.

100 percent not a klze. When I was shopping around I checked out osaka and they tried to send me an engine that looked exactly like that one, which is 100 percent a kl03. I ordered from Sunsengines.com, they sent me that same kind of engine as well. Installed it, got her dyno'd, only put down 134 whp. Pulled it out, sent it back along with a copy of my dyno plot, and they sent me a real klze. For some reason companies just don't know what the FU$K they are selling to people.
