Places to find a KLZE
Posted: January 30th, 2008, 11:50 pm
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD, PLEASE PM THE INFO AND I WILL ADD IT TO THE LIST - this way the list doesnt get lost under a bunch of posts. here is a list of all my research i did looking for my KLZE and i will be adding to this as i find out more.
the list of sites for JDM motors is what i believe to be every site there is for JDM motors. I spent 6 or 7 hours scouring the internet for JDM motors and obviously for the best price. I was thankful to find 2 places in Texas that imported JDMs, one of which is only about 10 miles from my house. the rest are either in Canada, California or somewhere on the east coast. a few of the sites had flat rated shipping under 200$ USD - while a lot of them had ridiculous shipping charges, a few sites even charged about half of the engine price. be careful and be aware that if you are having it shipped to your house and you dont have an engine hoist - they will charge you additionally for taking it off the truck for you - this is called a lift-gate fee and can be very high, around $100 or more.
i hope you guys find this info useful::

IMPORTANT!
From 1991-1993 ALL K series V6 engines came with the same sensor connectors and the same sensor locations, from 1994 and up they changed the sensor connectors and changed the location of the coolant sensor.
If you have a 93 MX-3 and you get a 91-93 KLZE everything will be the same, if you have a 94 MX-3 and you get a 94 and up KLZE everything will be the same. If you have a 93 MX-3 and you get a 94 and up KLZE then you will have to swap your sensors(crank, knock, coolant,) and tap a hole into the coolant pipe for the 1 sensor.
There are only a few exceptions, a few cars in 1994 may have come with the old engine (1991-1993 obd1) and the related connectors. 1994 was the change over year and mazda probably kept using the old setup until they ran out of stock, then they switched over to the new setup. 95+ are obd2 all you have to do is switch the outlet pipe for the coolant from your K8 or drill a hole for the coolant sensor.
If you have a 94 MX-3 and get a pre-94 KLZE engine, you'll have hard time finding an ECU that's properly configured for your 94 coolant sensor setup. There are work-arounds though. (thread links coming soon)
Make sure the head codes are KL31-101 and KL31-1A1 ONLY - any other head codes will NOT be a 200+hp KLZE - it CAN be curved neck or straight neck.
Hotshot headers are no longer made.

Priced around $900 for KLZE.
Whisper got his there. They're local, so he can always go check the motor out, before they ship to anyone who's not local.
