heyy I am not sure how to tell the difference between all the different engines if anyone can put a list if all those short forms

and I have heard that there is like 3 different type of KLZE and one of them is really good is that true? if so which one is it and once again how do u tell the difference

[mxmaz]

ANY klze is really good. The curved neck IM ze has a few less hp, but it fits our cars(without modification), so in the end it works out.

Try searching first dude... there are tons of topics about info on how to identify the motors. Chekc the FAQ section I believe there is a post or two.

The KLZE comes with the Straight Neck, or the Curved Neck manifolds. The CurveNeck fits easier and without modification. The StraightNeck requires a Master Cyclinder swap/modification.

but the rest besides the master cylinder fits all right in, like the wiring harness and the mounts right

sorry about posting stuff that was already discussed, I wasnt sure how to use the site yet

try checking this page: http://www.geocities.com/viv95pgt/klze.html

its not a big deal, dont worry about it

[Black Magic]

It's not that hard to use the longneck intake manifold. I might write a faq with pictures for it, since we've done it 3 times before without any major problems, you just have to modify some stuff.

To Bastian
I`d really like too know how to make the straight neck IM fit. Could you tell me it. Just a little write up (dont have to be very detailed).

[Sick_Mx3]

Sebastian just quick write up would help a lot if u dont mind, I am hoping to start this week in getting this done, so if u dont mind give me an e-mail or something on how to complete this swap thanks Danny.
what kind of master will I be needing with the streight intake manifold?

[bmwm3guy]

Use an MX6 96 Master Cylinder, and relocate the brake fluid resevoir so to let the IM fit.

[Sick_Mx3]

ok thanks I can get an mx6 master and I can just attach the reservour via a hose and locate it anywhere there is room under the hood

So if you use that approach, there is no tilting of the engine or TB modifications? And can the master come only from a 96 mx6 or can it come from any 93-97? what about one from a probe?
Sorry for all the questions but i'm trying to get this clear.

It looks like there are two connections between reservoir and master cylinder, as there are two independant circuits. The reservoir should be mounted at least as high as the original,because it's a gravity feed to the MC.

Also, when you fill the system, you need the hoses to fall all the way from the reservoir to the MC, to eliminate bubbles. After it's filled, you can secure the reservoir and allow a bit of hose droop, as long as the bottom of the reservoir is above the top of the MC.

apparently the curved neck delivers more power anyways so why bother wasting time installing the long neck one?

In my case i have the kfze engine and it probably won't be easy selling that IM and if it does sell i won't get nothing for it. So i want to fit the long neck kfze IM that already on the engine to save $$$.
