well the KL ZE is really really hard to find. b/c its a J spec engine. so it would have to be imported. U may find one at a junk yard with low km or something. but it will be hard. its probly better to look for the KL 03. which is about 165 hp and u can find them in any Mazda 626 & MX-6 - 1993-97 <BR>Ford Probe GT - 1993-97 . Go to a junk yard or something and u can pick one up for probly ummm around $1000 can.. i live in canada ontario.. close to toronto. im just learning all about mx3's too. so i dont know much . <BR>but maybe these junk yard websights may help u .. :<BR> <A HREF="http://www.u-r-g.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.u-r-g.com/</A> <A HREF="http://car-part.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://car-part.com/</A> <P><BR>jonny

Corksport shows they sell KL_ZE engines for $2049 and thats US, are they all that expensive, or can you find them for a cheaper price then that. But they say it has 200HP, they also say its $395 to program the ECU, do you have to do that when you purchase one of these engines.

The KLZE will put 160-175 hp to the ground on a dyno, due to ~15% drivetrain loss through the transmission/differential in FWD cars. It is rated at ~197hp in japan when you convert 200ps to hp
