To Supercharge a KL-ZE ...

OutlaW · Post by **OutlaW** » August 16th, 2006, 5:55 pm

Hello guys
I was wondering a while back, about the things i should do to the Ze when i swap .
I had ideias for :
Twin Turbo it
Big turbo it
Turbo and Nitro it ...

These days i had a new ideia, how about SC it ?
I have done some search ( really \0/\0/ ) and found out that the problem is on the low compression of the ZE.
Isnt Outlaw Enginering solving this with their product ?
Or is that part only for the intake manifold body ?
Doesnt it raise the compression ?
If it does not, how can a guys raise the Ze compression ?[/list]

http://www.procharger.com These guys make a universal SC for imports or compact cars. If you are going to SC the KL-ZE should be able to take 7psi stock but what I am going to do is jsut build the motor up first. Biger fuel injectors lower comp. pistons cams valve springs. I am going to do water injection to cool it down. Biggest thing is tuning of the car so you dont blow it up.

Hey many thanks Legato626 , i enjoyed the website

Since the Kl-Ze will be a swap, i dont want to go overboard and ruin a perfectly good engine ...

I will take care and tune it with the best, and the best way i know how

Look into a Roots type S/C
From what i understand, only problem with a S/C is that there is very little room in the engine bay
And no-one, has yet to make a reliable transfere shaft

has anyone ever tried to convert to electric hydraulic power steering? i wonder if we can put an s/c back there somehow by refilling the engine mounts so the engine is more offset a little

I removed all my A/C stuff and i now have a big hole down there were the A/C pump was. I am going to make a mount and put a pro charger down there. I already have the piping planned out and the space. I just need the money! =)

look on jeff abrams site mazdamaniac.com

he has a super charger build up

he didnt use a klze because of the compression he used a kl03. He also thought that the 200 hp from the ze wasnt true,

the kl03 is a cheaper engine i think its about 189 hp & has better compression for a turbo or supercharger

a KLDE is only 164 horse

now wait....i think the only problem for fitting that mx6 supercharger would be the height until you hit the hood correct....everything else should line up or am i missing something

loose change, I think you're right, a new hood scoop would be a relatively easy fix... the price is right so far
