klze shopping list and minor questions

[IanL]

As it says the auto transmission is not included, I would think you just fit your manual transmission and a manual transmission KLZE ECU. The K8 VAF is right for the KLZE (same item).

ya i think i just said that

Can I use the starter, alternator, power steering pump and generator from the K8 on the KLDE?

As I search for parts like these for my ZE, I can buy the ones for the DE, right? I am referring to things like the aftermarket headers and flywheel. Anyone know where to get good deals on the Fidanza flywheel and Hotshot headers?

FYI - For most 2.5L guys, a K8 flywheel is typically considered a better flywheel than the Fidanza for daily driving. The K8 flywheel is actually quite a bit lighter than the 2.5L flywheel. Alot of people with Fidanzas think it's TOO lightweight.

Really...hmm...I've never heard that before...thanks

About the headers. RR-racing has Hotshots for $478 + $30sh. They have a combo with the Hotshot CAI for $620 + $45sh. Seems like a good deal to me. It's made for the Probe GT/ 2.5L Mx-6, so I wonder if it'll fit easily into our little cars. Has anyone had this intake?

oooook what does that mean: TOO light?

erratic idle since the flywheel doesn't have enough inertia. The stock 2.5L flywheel weighs like 15 lbs, the K8 ~ 12 lbs and a fidanza 9-ish.....

nope..2.5 flywheel is 22, k8 is 17 but you got the fidanza right

[Nallboy]

I think I'll get my K8 Flywheel machined down a bit, 12 or 13 lbs.

That one looks clean to me. most of these places clean the engines before they sell so considering that this one is alittle dirty just means it hasn't been detailed yet. remember that these engines are all aluminum and will LOOK brand new when cleaned up right.
