They don't normally come with clutches. Some places who install them put an "OEM" or a "JDM" clutch, they are pieces of crap and dont hold well. You don't normally get ECU's with the motors. The recommended (although lately this has been arguably wrong because of the VRIS ponts) is the KL31 or KL36 ECU's With those ECU's, you keep your stock (JE50) VAF. The problem is that are can be hard to find, and kinda expensive. Another alternative I believe is the ECU/VAF combo from a KLDE (I don't know their numbers off hand). Since it's local parts, you should be able to get both for cheaper than a KLZE ECU.illapino wrote:Do most KLZEs come with clutch and ECU? Or do I have to hunt for those completely separately?
And then how much goes to the mechanic for installing it?
I haven't reached 30 posts yet to post a [WTB] but those in BC, please point me out to my KLZE
Labor cost depends on who you talk to, there's no way for us to give you an idea, it depends on who does it and what they feel like charging.
Check out the MX-West forum and website, they should be able to point you to what you need.
It doesn't matter if it's for automatic or manual. Basically I believe you don't want anything newer than 98, I think that's when they changed it to a lower-output KLZE. There one you kinda want is the curved neck KLZE. Makes the install easier because the other KLZE's with the straight neck intake manifold cause clearance issues, unless you use the old intake manifold off your stock engine, it fits, just restricts power.. You'll have to search, there are many many many threads on how to identify a KLZE. As for sensors, they're all the same, nothing needs to be changed.illapino wrote: I noticed that some may be made for Automatic transmission. How specific should I be when choosing a KLZE? Make sure its a certain year (because I read that 94 and ups have a different number of sensor holes or something)?
