A Millenia S has a supercharger but it is a Miller cycle engine.<BR>3) See Forced Induction forum.

thanks man<P>so you cant use any KL03 made in 1996 or newer?

I think you can still use a 96 or newer 2.5L, but you will probably have to get the ecu to match.<BR>Jeff Abrams has a supercharged 2.5L, but his is totally custom- <A HREF="http://www.mazdamaniac.com" TARGET=_blank>www.mazdamaniac.com</A>

Just match VAF to the (95 or earlier) ECM/PCM/ECU that you're using (1.8 with 1.8, 2.5 with 2.5, 1.8 with ZE). It's not the mechanical side that matters in this case, it's the electronic side.
