KLZE swap is done!!!<P>It fired up after only a few cranks! It idles OK, too!!<P>Only a couple of minor problems, one is a vacuum leak around the TB. I reused a gasket (I know, I know I shouldn't but I just didn't want to make that extra trip to the parts store) and now I've got to redo it.<P>Other minor problem is a too long throttle cable with the Millenia intake. I didn't use the MX-3's TB spacer but I'm going to put that on with some new gaskets. That should cure my vacuum leak and may move the TB enough to take up the throttle cable slack. <P>For those that might be curious, I used a 97 Millenia intake, KLZE ECU, and the 1.8 VAF. I bypassed the IAC and used phenolic spacers. The hood shuts but just barely, definitely no room for a strut bar. The only other mods are a UR crank pulley, PRM intake, and a Pacesetter catback.

Congrats man! I'll be soon behind you once Sean gets back from Japan...<P>So how's she run?

congrats man!!! pray for me next weekend guys

oh and which ze ecu did you use? 31 or 36? I got the 31 that i sold my soul on ebay for.

Congrats man, well done! I hope you enjoy it, for a long time.

Thanks guys! It runs pretty strong. There's only one drag strip close by and it's only an 1/8 mile one at that but I'll give 'er a run here shortly.<P>The ECU is a KL31.

I recently bought a millenia IM, Ive heard about the hood closing issues.. does that foam have to be ripped off from underneath the hood to be able to close it without touching the IM?

Where did you get ur KLZE at? Just curious?
