KLZE ( straight neck and curved neck)

Post by turbulence23 »

ok...

found out that there are two types of KLZE engines...

now i am wondering, what is the difference in installing them?

i heard that a curved neck is just alike the k8, so its just plug and play alsmost..

but what about the straight neck? i heard things about adding another motormount, moving the battery to the trunk etc...

is there a specific guide for the straightneck swap online?
2.5L KLZE engine, CF hood, Postert frontbumper, kmax skirts, custom diffusor..

There are modifications that have to be done to fit the ze with the straight neck intake manifold. If you buy a straight neck ze, the easiest thing to do is buy a curved neck intake manifold from a 2.5 millenia swap that on to your ze engine. If you buy a curved neck ze, then it is bolt on.

There might be other issues that are tied to the differences between IM's. That being the cams. The MS8 straight neck IM would normally come with KL31 cams whereas the Eunos 800 curved neck IM may come with KL01 cams. Not a huge issue, but one to realize. Contact (email cause he's not always on here very often) Bastian - "Black Magic", a member here and an installer of numerous ZE's in the Netherlands. He's been very helpfull to me in the past and nows his stuff around a ZE. g/l
