Engine swap KL-ZE, few questions.

[mmx01]

I've readed all swap related web pages (K8->KL-ZE) but there is no such info like:

1)What is weight diffrence between K8 and KL-ZE ? I think KL-ZE is heavier. If so it is 100KG ? 50KG?

2) What about suspention ? if KL-ZE is heavier this may cause problems with future use (Shocks,Suspention malfunctions)

3) Gearbox, if i will use gb from MX-3 on KL-ZE
it will fail in the future? can I just replace cluth for new one(better one but designed for MX-3) without changing flywheel and gb?

4) ECU, i have MX-3 '91 probably only ODB-1 compliant, should i buy engine with new reprogrammed ECU ? or reprogram old one ?

and the last question, i'm looking someone in Europe who can help me to find such engine KL-ZE J-spec 2.5L or someone who want to sell such engine. I found few in US but importing it from US will be very expensive i think(shipping + taxes).

Regards,
Mariusz.

1)I lift both and they seems pretty much the same weight (if there's a difference it's amost nothing)

2)you don't have to do nothing special about your suspension since it's almost the same weight (if stock suspension is pretty much wear out might look into changing them)

3)You can keep stock one...BUT get a good clutch with it..my recommendation is ACT z62-HDSS

4)Get a real ZE ecu...many have bought reprogram one and are not satisfied at all (ask curt)

5)I can't help you on this one bud...I'm on the other side of the sea
