KLZE - Swap Info

Is it correct that if your car is Right Hand Drive you can use the straight neck intake manifold without it causing any problems like it does in Left Hand Drive cars??

if you didnt want to relocate the battery, you can use the curved neck manifold from a xedos 9 2.5 V6, search on ebay there is usually loads being broken.

if you do a search for this manifold the u.s guys call it a MS800 or Millennia manifold.

It was already fitted to the engine, most klzes are fitted with the straight neck, but there are a small few that have the curved neck,
Apparantely you get a little more bhp ( not alot ) out of the straight neck.
But atleast with the battery out of the way it gives you alot more room to play with, which is good if you plan to turbo it !!
So its kinda pros and cons both ways.
