a GS is a v6 1.8L
130-132Hp

a KL(sometimes refered as a KLDE or KL03) is a 2.5L engine from a probe gt, MX-6 LS 164 hp.
or a Millenia (170hp)?.

a KLZE is a Jspec version of the American KLDE.
200 HP

a KFZE is basically a 2.0L version of the KLZE. Its Jspec as well and is 170 HP.

a KF is the non JDM version KFZE. Its 140 HP, and is not found in America.

a KJ is a 2.3L Supercharged Millenia motor. I believe is 210 hp.

The four cylinder MX-3s came in 2 versions. SOHC and DOHC. (single over head and dual overhead cams.) the SOHC is a B6 (not sure if thats the entire name of it but there are many versions of the b6 - Miata, 323,ect.) The 91-92 came with an SOHC 88hp. The early 93 models had the SOHC. The later 93+ models had the DOHC and were continued on till the end of production . And the DOHC has 105 HP 110lb Tq.

There is a 1.5L in Japan, but Im unsure the specs on it, but noone would want that swap anyways.

the 1.8L V6 in the GS MX-3 is a K8
V6's are K series like the B,D,K,H,F in hondas)

The High out put versions have -ZE at the end.
The J-spec 1.8 is the K8-ZE

Like it was already stated
K8 -1.8
KF -2.0
KJ -2.3 supercharged miller cycle
KL -2.5

ALMOST all the ZE's are J-spec and were not sold in america, The B6-ZE was found in Miatas in america.

For 4 cylinder swaps you can use the turbo 1.6L B6-T from the mazda 323GTX found in america from 1988-91 or the Jspec 1.8L 4 cylinder BP-T from a 1994 and up 323gtx or gt-R.

Cool, that's a good write up.
I'm wondering though, what all is added/changed to turn the engines into the ZE's (and with the added HP then)? I mean a KLDE or K8 are much easier to come by here than the ZE's and if we could take one and turn it into a ZE...

thanks fellas

from what i know, the kl-ze has higher compression pistons, hotter cams, better porting,and if you get the right one a better intake manifold.

yes that is all correct, as well all the ECU's have different programming.

So, if you were to rebuild your regular engine with better pistons and cams and then had had it ported & polished you would be looking at something pretty close to a ze?

that all depends you cant turn a k8 into a klze unless you want to spin some MAD CASH, but you can do a kL into a Ze but then for the same price you spent on doing the conversion you could of done a turbo system that would out perform the ZE stock but then again you could do the klze swap for the price of both.
