Re: JDM engine info plz help
Out of curiosity, why bother?
K8's and KLDE's are a dime a dozen.
Although, the K8ZE has a higher rev limit, and I'm sure something else must be different... not sure what.

Re: JDM engine info plz help
Ganue is right it will have no EGR. I don't think anyone I've ever heard of has done anything with a K8ZE (which is the designation of a JDM K8). It is rated with slightly more power but I think it has the same cams as the A-spec. I think the difference is with engine management.

The extra HP and no rev/speed limit comes from the ECU. This is why the ECU was one of the first parts taken from my AZ3 donor car. It's nice to drive 120+ mph without having the fuel cut off kicking in, especially here on the autobahn, aka German International Speedway.

Re: JDM engine info plz help
You need to document the swap very thoroughly. AFAIK no one has done this on this forum. I have always wondered if it would be a direct bolt in or not.

Re: JDM engine info plz help
It's just a K8ZE, no different than K8DE, ZE or DE swap really. Just a K8 with a 7500rpm redline and 5hp more,wytbishop wrote:You need to document the swap very thoroughly. AFAIK no one has done this on this forum. I have always wondered if it would be a direct bolt in or not.

Re: JDM engine info plz help
Why would you bother with a k8ze? it would have been cheaper to go with a klde. k8ze will not overpower a stock de. Availability of the k8ze? Im confused..
