Can KLDE internals work on the K8
Infact, I am wondering, why does everyone here swap there K8s out?
Isnt there anything that can be done to make them fast?
Can they even handle a turbo?
Anyway, I am just wondering, is there a way to put say, KLDE pistons/rods, cam, camshafts or heads in the K8?
Infact, is there anyway, to bring the K8 to atleast 170hp/tq without forced induction?

On this topic somewhat still, I searched but with no luck.
Does anyone have the rod measurements (length, rod big end, etc) of the K8? Thanks

With that kind of money invested in a K8 (which might be a little more than a KLZE), it probably wont have as much as power as the KLZE, infact, probably the same as the KLDE but it should be able to handle alot more power than a KLZE would be able to handleCustommx3 wrote:if you put that kinf of $$ into it, may as well drop a KLZE in it.
Not only that, there wont be a need to buy hard to find imported ECUs
