I just checked through my past emails and the guy i had get my kf15 ecu for me in Japan pulled it from an MS8.

kf15 uses a maf not a vaf, the kf15 ecu is the for the lantis type r version of the kfze (straight neck intake manifold square runners (doesnt fit in mx3) and kl31 cams) but it wont work with the je50 according to my buddies in malaysia the kf01 will run it just fine the ecu will adjust.

Well ...

sorry, but you'll need a detailed picture (not a forum blah blah) to tell me this.

The heads on KF-ZE's are K8-1A1 & K8-101

And the ''K8 like'' (Type R) IM isn't squarre port at all.

Here is a lantis type r. There is a pic of the engine there.

I bet the engine has always used conventional oil. Switching to synthetic oil on a high mileage engine will often result in what happened to you.

RHO2S is the code for right hand 02 sensor. Replace it, its the rear one.

sorry, but (even if it could be an improvement over the previous fluid) i really don't see how a different brand of transmission fluid could be a cure-all.

What makes you say this? Different tranny fluids make a big difference. I have experience with redline mtl and syncromesh and the syncromesh ...

But you never used gm syncromesh, give it a shot.

Change all your shifter bushings and go to your local gm dealership and get 3 quarts of gm syncromesh. The one i got from the dealership was actually called ac delco syncromesh(which is the same thing). Drain your old tranny fluid and put that in there, give it a few weeks or so to work and then ...

GM Syncromesh ftw!!

Well this is an mx-3 forum so most people will tell you to drop a ze in your mx-3. I say go for the gsr. I sold my mx-3 and got an 00 gsr and have not regretted it at all. And believe it or not, a gsr integra where i live is way more rear then an mx-3. I have not seen another gsr since i got mine.

Take it to a body shop to see if the frame is worth straightening. As for the head gasket, thats a good reason for a ze swap.

What kf do you have? There are 140hp, 160hp, and 170hp versions.

I got some oem mx-3 floor mats for sale. They are greyish with mx-3 embroidered in red. Used for only a few weeks, in pretty well mint condition.

What motor mounts are you using max?

What bottom line? anyways........
