V6 pick one

Post by purewhitemp5 »

KF 2.0 180 hp* $450
K8ZE 2.5 218 hp* $450
KLZE 2.5 218 hp* $800
* Horsepower rating given on website
What would be the best swap?
Will the KF swap into a MX-3 gs?

K8ZE is only 140hp
KLZE is 200hp 165tq.
KFZE is 170 hp 132tq.

The kf will swap in to a gs and is the same amount of work as a klze or klde as well.

same compression ratio as a klze 10:1. You can get them anywhere they sell jdm engines. I got mine from Osaka cost me $850 cdn shipped to my door. I highly recommend against buying your engine from them though

a K8ze is not a stock engine
a k8 is :)
a K8ze is the JDM version of the K8, just like the KLZE is the JDM version of the Aspec KL.

Also Id recommend against the KFZE. and go with a KLZE. I purchased one and it turned out to be bad. Cost more for parts to fix it than was to get another motor. Head Gaskets are $300, and all I needed was 3 piston rings.
