I bought a kl-ze a while ago did not get the kl-ze ecu so I swapped a 2.5 ecu with 2.5 vaf it was fast but then i put the 1.8L ecu with 2.5L vaf and it is even fast <BR>so for people getting a kl-ze i would recommend keeping the 1.8L ecu and just buy a 2.5L vaf

IIRC

kl-ze ecu is only $200 so if ya keeped your k8 vaf you have the actual setup.

Is it true that running the K8 ecu on the KL-ZE can damage the engine? (even if you rev it high?)

Can the 1.8L ecu be chipped with the KLZE eprom? Does anyone ever extracted/posted the eprom file?<BR>If you can keep the VAF from the original 1.8L setup you are done...<P>BTW, does anyone have ever tried to tune a KLZE like Mike has done in the KL?

I think that's the best way to do it for performance (except if you get stand-alone).<P>So you guys think its safe running the 18L ecu with the ZE for a while? (until i figure out what I want to do ecu-wise) [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

From what I have been told, reprogramming to KLZE specs is basically a "generic" setup for a KLZE. The best way is have a custom programmed ECU from someone whos a real professional. No some large company who just gives basic codes, but someone who can fine tune your setup. I think Jeff Abrams methioned a company he used, or knew of, but I cant seem to rememeber the name of it.

i was talking to derreck from corksport and he told me that they will getting ecu 's form japan specifictly for klze.

yea, but, it doesnt have the EGR setup on it. Also, since the ZE usually comes in an Auto(the millenia/ms8 version), will the ECU even work with our manual trannys?

I meant to put exactly the code extracted from the klze ecu in the 1.8L OBDI ecu hardware.<BR>I suppose them to be exactly the same board as they work with the same sensors (except EGR) and were mounted the same years.<BR>You would get the same functionality of the original KLZE (no tweaking) and then decide if you want to get a chip mod with a bench profesional <P>In case somebody wants to try, we need the code extracted from a verified KLZE ecu to a file...

you would be using the japanese mx6 ecu so it will work fine kl36 works with both manual and auto, kl31 works with only manual, like i said they are only $200
