Rambling-
So after a short stint in the Protege community I may be coming back full cirle, to another MX-3. I'm going to try to pick up a GS this summer and swap a KLZE in. It's been almost a year since I've been here and i'm new to the KLZE swap, I was planning on doing a B6T swap to the RS but, the tranny died before I had the funds. I just want to clear some things up:

-Most reputable shop to order motor? A package that include engine, ecu and vaf.
-The average cost of the motor/ecu and labor is around 3K, right?
-Aren't most KL-series engine parts universal, save the obvious differences, meaning US 2.5's can supply most repair/maint. parts?

I can't view any of the V6 FAQ Threads, so I'm sure all this is covered in there. Searches didn't locate these answers, though. Thanks in advance!

i know how u feel i was in the same situation as u are. i just got finished with my jdm KL-ZE swap and its awsome.
- i purchased my motor from osaka jdm motors.....i know some people have some negative feedback but i thought they were good (fast email responses good service) i purchased the complete engine package which included motor tranny and ecu for 1600 to my door in hawaii. the motor was clean and in good conditon eg. no leakes great compression everything was intact.

- i installed everything myself...as for my first swap it wasnt too difficult...its a direct swap. after it was installed the total price came out to about 2000 usd.

- all the parts are supposed to be swapable. u may want to find a millenia IM because the long neck jdm ze manny will run ito ur brake resevior. i was able to relocate the resevior easily to the side though.
hope this helped

Make sure when u goto the faq, u select VIEW ALL POSTS. Its in a pull down menu.

thanks guys, the menu owned me

I'll do your swap for you if you are in baltimore, MD. I live 20 minutes away from there and have done this swap myself w/no help. I've done 5 other motor swaps (all B-Series mazda engines) too.
