I've done a little searching about KFZE from Mazda Lantis V6. It seems that everyone prefers the KLZE. Well it's not easy to get a KLZE over here. So it happened that I come across with a KFZE. I'm wondering if the KFZE is a direct swap for the GS. Please guide me.

Its like doing the klze swap. You need the correct ecu and what not but pretty much the same as a KLZE swap as te motor has the same dimensions etc.

I don't think the tranny will bolt up or am I wrong here?

The tranny will bolt up fine. The issue is if he has the Lantis LSD tranny, then there will be a axle issue. However, a normal non lsd Lantis tranny or a k8 GS tranny will work fine

Ya I heard about those axels. Need for spuds SE said something about the KFZE being uncompatable with something. Hey maybe I should just ask him, d-uh.

KFZE's are cursed... every time that someone has tried to use a KFZE has had unfortunate results...

lol for the record Mine didn't die due to the engine, mine died due to hurricane Ivan


i do miss it so:


lol and no it didn't come that clean and it was so not stock

how bout the wiring harness?

Stock k8 harness will line up fine if you are OBDI (92-95ish)

My kf went trough hydrolock and it survived.


Ironically...


When I swapped thje the klze I left the engine in my yard.. then .. we had a really bad monsoon season..

and the engine was under water for 3 days.


Took it out appart, cleaned.. and didnt turn freely.


Gave it to my friend so he can use it as a core to get a millenia ze.




The engine is faster than a k8, but not to much noticeable.


very reliably.


its just like a spanking new k8.
