Just got quoted $1,100 for a KLZE engine from Nippon-mot

[KNOCKOUT]

Also, if I do a K8 for a KLZE, will I need a different tranny and ECU?

[Bri94GS]

there's tons of links all over this board on what you need to do an engine swap...

hey where u getting ur engine? do they have a website? im looking for one too. yuh do need a different tranny but sometimes the seller of the engine includes the ECU, tranny,and some other stuff soorryyy i forgot.

[KNOCKOUT]

Hmm, they didn't say that I needed a different tranny and ECU. We'll see. <A HREF="http://www.nippon-motors.com" TARGET=_blank>www.nippon-motors.com</A>

sence when did you need a different tranny? It should bolt up to the one you have now.... unless its a 4clyinder.

[KNOCKOUT]

Well, I'm keep hearing conflicting answers from different people. Some say that I might need a different tranny, some say that I definately will need one. Others say that I won't need a different tranny and ECU. <P>Is there anyone out there that can give me a definate answer? I've checked the engine swap sites, but none of them say anything about a tranny or ECU. Please HELP.<P>Thanks in advance.

What engine and tranny do you have now?<BR>Also, what year is your car and where are you from?<p>[ October 16, 2001: Message edited by: David Coleman ]

I have a 93 GS V6 (K8) with the stock tranny. I'm from Fall River, MA, USA.

[David Coleman]

I assume you mean you have a Manual transmission.<P>In that case, you can run all stock sensors, motormounts, wiring harnesses, tranny, and ecu with a KLZE swap.

[KNOCKOUT]

Yep, sorry, Manual tranny.......you assumed correctly.<P>I just got off the phone with Derrick from "Corksport" and he said the same thing as you just did. Now it's a matter of getting a good price on the KLZE engine.......any more help......LOL! Thanks for all the help!!!

hey knockout i've got a question, you live and mass and so do I, do you think you'll pass the new emission levels with the klze in your ride? thats my biggest worry about getting one. <P>thanks <BR>migs 93 gs

[white fish]

Use your Tranny<BR>You can use your VAF and ECU but it will run "better" with the ZE VAF and ECU

[basil_75]

How about if you have an ATX? Then what about the tranny?

Reason I can't pass is because I'm burning too much oil and my exhaust is on its way out as well. But, I'm hoping that a "new" engine will pass...once I get an exhaust too.

That brings up a few more questions:<BR>1. Since the 2.5L KL-ZE is only to be found in J-spec cars with right hand drive, will that be a problem?<P>2. Does it matter whether or not the engine was previously used with an automatic tranny. In other words, is an engine only compatible with either an auto or manual tranny? <P>I'm dropping in the KL-ZE into my 93' GS 5-speed.
