hmm that could be number of things..

o2 sensors,
new fuel filter
etc. ... if yer k8 was eating oil.. or you wanted more speed.. than I understand...

my klze with ms08 takes fuel just as much.. remember the tank is smaller, and you now have a 2.5 liter engine.. so if yer after gas savings.. hehe look elsewhere

Myself, i got a huge gas milleage increase with the KLZE, i used to empty a tank in about 350km on my old K8, with the KLZE just after the swap, i was averagint 350-450km (well, gas milleage does down them your having fun ;)). The first Winter, i squeezed a 475km tank going to Ottawa, and coming back from the Ottawa Mazda Meet this year, I pulled an amazing 510km tank, a few mods including new o2 sensors i put in in spring must have improved it even more. Even Kp2t got 460-something if i rememberd right. We are talking ton how the gas milleage was bad, and he has the k8 ecu, he upgraded to a KL31 a few weeks before the meet, and got very nice milleage coming back. I'm sure the "cleaning" our engines experience on the Sunday cruise helped as well ;)

I just gased up today and got 323km's on 25L's

In the year and a half i had the k8, i never once broke 400km on a tank, high 300's yes, like 375 and such, but never 400+

Sorry guys I meant my K8 is eating Oil. I checked it all out, and I think the oil seals or whatever are probably done. The K8 has 240km on it, so its quite a bit. Im not gonna pass emission in February so I need to find myself a new Engine. So anywayz if anyone has any great places to start looking for a KLZE please let me know. I have a few leads myself and I've checked out a couple of engines, but their trying to sell me off some kind of different engine which they claim is a true KLZE. Well see what this guy from Toronto has to say abut this KLZE for 1500$$ which I think is not gonna work out. I've checked out the local shops in London, and found a True KLZE. Did a compression check on the engine and the last damn cylinder turned out to be complete GARBAGE Grrrrr.... almost found a KLZE. Anywayz if anyone can help me out, please help me out. Thx all
Later!

$1500 for a motor alone is really steep if you ask me. From all the places that I checked out in TO I would say the most expensive one I found was about $1000...and I got mine for $800 or so..and so far it's been running super smooth and really solid.

If you need the inforamtion of the shop where I picked it up PM me and I will send you the info.

you should definately find out if that 1500 is including all the accessories or if its for the engine alone (or engine+tranny). cuz ya, the prices here are normally just under 1000 for engine alone. i'v got a few numbers, but havn't yet delt w/ them for engines so i don't know if they're any good for that. i know i'v heard BAD things about A-Spec tho.
pm me if you want the info i do have tho

I went to unauthorised performance, in london to get my ze. the sent it to a place in St. Catherines? I think to get the swap done. aBSOLUTE PERFORMANCE. Not recommended. I got my car back and it still had tools uder the hood, they broke 4 bolts that hold on tranny, shorted out my stereo, some how. Unauthorised is good. Cheap prices on everything. But absolute is bad........
