During a 2,5l swap I switched the alternator because the old one didn't charge well. Now I discovered that the new alternator has a different control connector. It now wants three wires instead of those two in the cars wiring.

Anyone who knows what to do or have the wirediagram for booth?

I got ...

I have searched around in the forum, but couldn't find a detailed walkthrough in order to turbo the v6 in a mx3 in all the steps on the way. I am only considering a low budget conversion and I already know the basics, but I would like to get more details around the mod before I start.

Can someone ...

I got it from tiger japanese.
I bought it as a KLZE direkt import from japan, but when it showed up it was a DE with the ZE curved neck manifold.

I guess I can expect some wierd mods

Also, as said in anither post, my oilcooling on the oilfilter is missing and plugged as it never where there.

But do I need to take the trouble by switching it? Its some job as I have fitted all he belts and inlet manifold already..

If someone has taken it of, is it needed?
Can I do without it?

Now I have switched to the sensor from the k8.

The reason why I would like to use the already fitted from the DE is that i had mounted a lot of stuff over it including all the belts. I should have thought of it earlyer :)

It seemed like I could use the one from the DE but it had one wire less ...

I belive this is called the EGR system and is found on the k8, but not on the DE. And this is one of the things I need to swap over since the wirering from the k8 stays the same.

Sorry for crappy picture ...

I found this on my k8 engine, but not on my DE. Is this some sort of cooling of the oil when its passing in and out of the filter?
Is it something I should transfer to the DE or leave in the junkyard?
Seems kinda scary if the seelant brakes :)

I know many have bin in this situation, but I can't find (on any forum) a clear answer to what is needed to be done with this.

From my KLDE I have one connector (diamond shaped) with one wire and from my k8 I have another connector (square shaped) with two wires.

Can anyone just confirm that my assumptions are right..

Is the brake hose on the other side of the manifold on the curved neck ZE then the k8?

Hi

I am doing a swap from k8 to a KLDE with a ZE curved neck manifold. During the swap I came over som odd differences.

On the ZE it had an extra sensor on the intake.

And you can see ...

Hi

I am doing a swap from a k8 to a KLDE with the ZE curved neck manifold. During part switching between the engines I came over this odd sort of vent or coupling from the ZE manifold.

I guess I'll just put it on and think it would work as I am using the same wiring and ecu as with the k8 with the sensor... (though chipped with a probenator)

The crank pully is the same from the K8 and the DE in my case, with the same kind of teeth (5 or 6 in some sorth of a wave form).
I am ...

Hi

I am doing a swap from a k8 to a KLDE. The k8 being a -93 and the DE unknown.

The odd difference is that the k8 has a crankshaft position sensor, but the DE doesn't. There is only a plug/cap fitted as it was original from mazda..

Should I just move over the sensor and everything will work ...

But with the probinator, there is a different chip if you have the kl03 heads with ze manifold or a complete ze, also if you have the curved or strate neck.

Well my alternator is not 110amps, my pistons are not flat on the top, my heads are stamped KL-1A1 and KL-101 and my inlet on the heads are not square and doesn't match the manifold that was put on. I got a feeling it's not a ZE :)

But with this setup, should I keep the KL-01 cams because its ...
