Re: KLZE ECU question

$400 for shipping! If you find an engine on the west coast it should be no more than $200 - have you tried Foreign Engines in Lynnwood, WA?
They had 3 KLZE's for $849 2 weeks ago and shipping was not $400

Re: throttle cable

I used the bracket which came with my ZE - it's good and smooth action but the cable runs at 30 degrees to a straight line. Also the nuts which adjust the length are at the maximum. Getting this sorted out is on my list of around 15 little things to get perfect after the swap last week - Simon

Re: KL-ZE swap has commenced!!

wish you luck & don't worry about the questions as when you get tired & stressed you need to take time out to figure out what to do. Look at all the dumb questions I've been asking the last week or so!

Re: Failed Emissions Test

it was tested as an mx-3, I don't know if British Columbia has any rules about modified engines etc. I'll try and find out. <p>I put a KL-02 VAF on last night and I;ll see what that does to the emmissions when I take it later on today - there is a noticeable difference in power and I had to reset th...

Re: Codes 17 & 24 after KLZE swap

I checked with Mazda first of all to see what the parts would be new:<p>$1900 for the ecu & $1100 for the VAF - then plus 14.5% tax = $3435 CAD or US$2500!!! <p>I was surprised when the parts man said he has never sold one - I wonder why?<p>The wreckers are asking for around $350 - $450 CAD for ...
