it came with the curved neck...

KL31 is written on the cams if i think about it, when i changed the valve gaskets i looked at it, and believe it was KL-31..

i recently places a ZE in my mx, and gotta say... its sweet

but what i was wondering, how can i see if i have a high or low compression ZE??? ( maybe thinking about boosting)

it's a curved neck ZE, but how can i tell for sure if it is high or low compression? do i need to get the head off?

just get a obd1 distributor (kl-01) and a kl-31/36 ecu...

thats is, for the rest there isnt much else thats different, no need for swapping over entire wireloom...

here in holland we had a guy at our dutch mx3 community who make these clusterrings.. i also have them, custommade for the mx and they fit like a dream. they sell them here for approx 25 euro= approx 35 dollar http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/472/pb060130yu2.jpg http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/...

On a note- the ECU won't store codes normally until the engine cranks and runs for a few minutes. So checking codes won't do much good now. GL how come it gave me code 5 error then? jumpwired the diagnostic box and got 5 blinks on my LED. what should be correct, because we found out the wire inside...

will check it... thanx for the input btw...

but lets assume timing is still good, and the auto tensioner is also good... what else could be wrong???

just trying to rule out certain things...

still not getting no errorcodes... maybe a problem in the wires coming and going from the ECU???

Does the engine "Fire" at all when you crank it? At least trying to start? Or is it just spinning over and over without catching? Tunes67 it tries.... when i turn the key, the first couple of cycles of the startmotor it looks like its going to start, couple of puffs, small bangs from the ...

at first, thanx for the really good feedback 8) @ tehbrookzorz compression was good, don't know the numbers, but i trust the guy who sells the engines here in The Netherlands and who had done the compression test. @ Custommx3 Vaf is plugged on, JE50, thinking of trying another one, just to rule out ...

ok... after having several problems with my car i decided it was time to swap to the ZE... last weekend it was al done, and tonight we went to start it... but it wouldnt fire up like i hoped it would do... we checked all things again, thinking that me might have missed something. checked: fuel ( pas...

old dash works with a sliding pin and a wheel to change for example the blower ( 0,1,2,3)

new is completely electronic, so it won't work..

look under the hood, there must be a plate with common info..

5W30 is the oil that my mx has written on that label...

litte question because i am placing a new clutch doing the ZE swap @ the moment. i got a clutch kit, but thought when looking at some clutches at ebay that i was missing something. http://brakefriction.com/EXEDY.JPG this is just a picture i ripped off ebay... what i got is the complete clutchkit and...

ford???

what springs/coilovers are that then? just curious.. here in europe you pay so much for a coilover/spring kit for the mx..

i also ordered a set...

but i''ve read here, that they still rust ( not like they manufacurer claims) and that they are gonna paint it with zincspray..

do i need to sand down the pipes ( that chromey layer) of just degreas it and spray away...

happy newyear from holland people!!
