Anyway after trying out the 2.5 vaf. All of the hesitation is gone, and it seems faster, acceleration is improved. And when it is cold out (-13 right now) it idles at the appropriate rpm till it is warmer. Around 1700 rpms or so. I haven't went through a full tank yet so I havent calcualated the mileage.<hr></blockquote><p>How did you fix it?<p>BTW, why would a 1.8l VAF be better than a 2.5? Isnt that whats its made for?

I ran the 1.8l ecu + 2.5l vaf for a 14.5

the 1.8l ecu + 1.8l vaf for a 14.9<p>and the ze ecu + 1.8l vaf for a 14.0<p>If that matters

To answer nd4spdse<p>it seems that the klze engine does run with the 1.8 vaf (je50- the same part number as the jspec) but, only when you use the ze ecu. The 2.5 ecu (which I have) does not play nicely with the 1.8 vaf. It work very well with the 2.5 vaf (kl02) though. I've also been told that the 1.8 ecu and the 1.8 vaf also work good with the ze engine.

you need to run the kl36 ecu for the klze and the 1.8 vaf (je50) i believe you can get an ecu from sean mathews from streetimports.com. better yet give him a call and you can find out for certain.

Don't know if this will help but Doing a search on ebay for KLZE ECU there is one up for sale right now for $35 american I just noticed this yesterday fooling around on the ebay.<p>Later!

You know aaron, thats what I thought. People kept telling me to keep my k8 ecu and je50 vaf...but I heard that it still produces rich conditions...which can't be considered good.

Paul runs a 1.8L Ecu and a 2.5L VAF. Runs just fine.

okay, my first tank is done. I reset the counter when I filled it first, and when I refilled I wrote down the km and how many litres I put in, then converted it to mpg. 410 km. 39.5 litres of gas. Roughly it averaged to 25 mpg. So, thats a 8-9 mpg improvement over the 16-17 mpg i was getting with the other setup. This is with 90% highway driving.

hey killerpickle, i was just wondering how much you picked up the 2.5 vaf for.. im getting a kl03 soon but its not coming with the vaf, so i would like to know roughly how much im looking at, i'll probably get one from a junkyard lates

100$ search for ontario.<p>Awesome site!

arron the hic???<p>question for you????<p>have you ran the ZE ecu with the ZE VAF?<p>i currently have the ZE ecu with 1.8(je50) VAF
feels strong through the whole band... just
curious what you got if you have ran it?

he is running that.
