KLze need help?

[Cacho]

Im doing a swap on a 1.8 to a 2.5 Im still using the 1.8 ECU which was upgraded by Total performance software a while back in 92. Is there any difference in which Vaf meter I use? 1.8 or 2.5 VAF?

[pelado]

If you're going to use the modified 1.8 ECU after the swap, I'd bet the 1.8 VAF would still work.

most people say stick with the k8 ecu/vaf combo for the ze because the ze also uses the je50 vaf

Ok got it running but I cant figure this out?<BR>I used K8 ECU/VAF combo and car idled rough and started backfiring as I give some gas. Then I used the K8/ECU with 2.5 VAF the car idled fine. Why is that?

[vseved]

USE KL ECU and KL VAF. K8 ECU is not good to control KL injectors. It gives the engine way too much fuel. You will have very poor mileage.

using the k8 ecu with kl-ze is faster then using the kl ecu with kl-ze <BR>you should just get the kl-ze ecu good gas mil and you get and is the best ecu to use <BR>using the k8 you will get shitty gas mil <BR>but you do the kl-ze swap for the power so if you can't get or can't afford then use the k8

what u mean smokin??? i use the k8 ecu/vaf combo and i idle fine although at around 1500rpm's.....though i need to adjust it...so far i am getting b/t 16-20 city/highway miles....might consider getting a ze ecu though....can u explain the advantages to that??<P>thanks<P>AJ

ok <BR>if you don't have the kl-ze ecu <BR>the best combo to use for performance is the k8ecu with k8vaf because the vris points are like the kl-ze.If you have this combo and you are racing the shift points are high 7500 to 7800 rpm. The k8 combo u run rich and get shitty gas mil maybe even alot of back fire<BR>The kl-de ecu with 2.5L vaf is slower but better gas mil then the k8 combo.With this combo the shift points are 7500rpm<BR>The kl-ze ecu with 1.8vaf is the best combo you get good gas mil and this ecu improves your time by 2 tenths tested at the track. SHift points are 7000rpms<p>[ October 22, 2002: Message edited by: Smokin mx-3 ]

Yo! cacho where in hawaii you from , cuz i was from there too but leave in jersey now, anyway, i have a klze too on my mx-3, and im using a probe gt ecu with the k8 vaf, and the car runs good and fast.

From the North Shore, Sunset Beach. Maybe theres something wrong with my K8 Vaf but it works fine with 2.5 vaf. If I use Kl ECU my vris dont work properly one stays open at all times is that how its suppose to be.

im from kalihi,honolulu. where did you get your engine from, i got mine from streetimport, and Sean from street import who sold me the klze, advice me to use the probe gt ecu if i cant get the jspec klze ecu. here's there # 1-800-839-4536

[Cacho]

Cuz.. I grew up in Kalihi. School and Gulick.<BR>Thanks for that number I'll give them a call.<BR>As for the motor Ive had it for a long time from good friend of mine. His dad was some kind of import/export thing. Long story. Well right now I think im going to use K8 ecu until get the ZE ecu. By the way car is running great. Kick a--... Thanks

grew up in school st. and owawa st., how hawaii bra. does people still cruise through alamoana beach and mall.

[Cacho]

No not any more. I think only our generation did that. Hawaii is fine but people change. Kids are the ones whos driving all these fast cars and dying like flies. Well any ways got any good parts out there in jersey. <BR> I need some hook ups.

[C-MX-DA3]

for parts i go to corksport.com or nopi.com for parts.
