I thought the DE was a 2.0 ? Can you use the ZE crank and pistons in the DE block ?

You mean the ZE rods and pistons? If so yes. The cranks are the same. Both rods are just as weak when it comes to nitrous/boost.

kf is the 2.0 and has 2 versions, 160 hp(round runners) and 170 hp (square runners) thye de was never a 2.0 its a 2.5 and has more torque than the kfze 160 hp version. If you got a 2.0 by accident send it back. You will spend the same money u would on a de except u get a crappier engine. Unless u have headers intake and full exhaust.

im not to sure i believe is jap soec.. uses fk01 ecu i believe,. custommx3 is the expert with this enginem the one i got is the 160 hp version, i use a kf01 ecu and k8 vaf. It has no egr wich leads me to believe its not us spec at all. Cams read kf01 it revs high nicely. Not sure if this has the floating valve problem

170 was only available in 1 car the Lantis Type R which is a jspec car in europe the lantis was more commenly refered to as the Astina or the 323F these were semi different cars but all had similar shape and body stylings.

Look at this picture. The seller claims that it is a 2.0 liter V6. Look at the neck, it's curved. Do you guys suppose it is the 170hp version?
