Re: What is KL 01?

No, it is still used on the '93 KL03 cars.

Re: 1/4 Mile Times

Dude, two turboed Miatas and an RX7? I think you need a KL engine swapped turbo 323 or MX3 to complete the collection!

Re: piping

I'd be VERY careful abut switching to a smaller rad when going forced induction.<P>Not only does a front mount intercooler reduce airflow to a rad, forced induction also increases engine heat. By a lot.<P>I'd gte an upgraded rad unit. Custom fit one from Permacool or Flexalite.

Re: 1/4 Mile Times

Cool, got pics/slips/dyno plots? I'm curious about your system. Is it a Dealer Alt/Flyin' Miata set up? Some of those kits sound like they go like stank!<P>Very nice. How does the roll cage look? I've seen one local Miata with one and I didn't like it at all....

Re: 1/4 Mile Times

My best was a 13.2s@109mph. This was on drag radials at 12 PSI tire pressure (13 PSI on the driver side). My 60' was 1.9s and the launch was a semi-babyied one - the MX3 drive shafts don't hold up well to my combo.<P>Most of the time I'm between mid 13s and low 14s, my setup this year was very untun...

Re: for those with turbo....

Ha, gotta love the Japanese language instructions. I gave some to my mechanic, he thought he had drank too much for a micro-second...<P>That sounds like the line of the air hose to send the air back into your system (since it's metered by your air flow meter/VAF). Mine is tapped into my intake manif...

Re: KLZE - KL03

Wicked setup man. SDS stand alone computer, eh? What injectors? Stock bottom end? I notice he has no air filter on his turbo. I have two fibreglass mesh pieces under pantyhose :)

Re: for those with turbo....

I have a BOV from a 2nd gen turbo RX7 -- works fine at low/med boost. Cheap, too. ;D<P>I just have a small nipple from the intake piping, and then a piece of silicon hose clamped onto the nipple which goes to the BOV. Easy as pie. :)

Re: Question - 96 2.5 v6 in 92 mx3

You can use the intake manifold and ECU from the 1.8 or the 2.5. You need the VAF from the 2.5 IMHO. <P>If you can fit the intake manifold from the 2.5, use it. You may have to move the battery/brake cylinder a mite, but it should fit (at least in a 323 engine bay it fits and that's with a turbo too...

Re: KLZE - KL03

Yup, but one usually ends up needing the KLZE ECU to get the full benefit form the KLZE engine.<P>Toronto's pretty lucky in that we have several fast/fastish KLZE based cars around. A couple of Probes run the KLZE and pull around 190 HP to the wheels, a Protege runs ZE engine parts and is in the 14s...
