klze or klde?

Post by shadowmx3 »

Was just wondering if my engine is klze, it the curve neck one and i got the 9.5lb f1-racing flywheel with mfactory lsd and mx6 transmission. I can rev hard on 1st gear to 7k rpm without spinning the wheel fine when other say they couldn't on there klze. It make me wonder if it a klde. Any one with a klze that can rev to 7k rpm without spining?

Hold it at 7.5k for a few minutes and youll know if its a ZE :lol:

Spinning the wheels has nothing to do with the motor and more to do with your transmission and tires. They probably dont have an LSD and have cheaper tires. Btw I am assuming you know how the LSD works right?

Otherwise look in the v6 FAQ and it will show you the engine markings to identify the ZE vs DE

The kl36 cam i guess since it the curve neck klze, came with block plate egr and correct engine block code. I try to look tru the spark plug to check the piston but cant really see clear tru them little hole.

Then you've more than likely got a ZE.

You can't say what power it makes with a butt dyno. A DE should be more likely to spin the wheels on a clutch dump, but the KL will pull harder and harder from 4.5 an on, where the DE will start to fall on its face at 6.5. I own both a DE and a ZE car, I much prefer the feeling of driving the ZE, although the DE is torquier in the mid range.
