I wrote to the guy selling the KL28 ECU this is what I said to him
The KL28 is an ECU for the Australian/New Zealand

and this is what he wrote back to me does anyone have comments on his info as I wronge or does he just not know what he is talking about?

Your info is wrong. The KL28 does come out in NZ. I
have removed it from our spec cars. I have also
removed this ECU from the JDM manual MX6 and a 626
Manual. I did not get them confused as I still have
the Japanes Kanji sun visors for one of them.
I have never removed a KL31 or 36 from a manual car so
there is alot of misinformation. These cars are
getting old here and falling of the road so I get all
my ECUs from the cars not imported with engines alone
so I am basing my Info of the vehicals I have removed
them from. The NZ spec 2.5 V6 Ford Telstars TXi s seem
to go faster than the JDM spec cars a freind has one
and it really moves. They are definately the large
square port engine. The Aus spec may be detuned I dont
know.
Hope this helps

yea im going to stick my oar in the water

if this is a guy in wellington selling stuff on
EBAY STAY CLEAR!!

Ok a kl28 ecu does exist but its not for a KLZE motor
its found in the 2.0litre V6's Auto's and was as far as i
can see from the number of car's ive seen in the wreakers
was a domestic ecu for New Zealand and Austrailia

go and goggle his "NZ spec 2.5 V6 Ford Telstars TXi "
does'nt exsist, as the 2.5 V6's where only produced in
mondeo

the 2.0 where in the telstar's

Put bluntly your looking for a bargain, steer clear
buy only a kl36 or a kl31 and if he say's otherwise
he's full of shite! i rest my left testitcal.

Thank's kiwi I had a strong feeling this was all crap because if the kl28 was as good as he say's it is we would all have them on the ZE. Yea I went online and searched for the car he was talked about and didn't find anything.

Thats weird why they would call an ecu for a kf motor kl28. You would think it would be kfXX. You sure a kl28 is not for a kl engine?

the kl28 was the australian spec ecu for the kl 2.5v6 in 626, telstar tx5. don't know about probes or mx6s
i thought i had some weird ecu when i did the conversion, but checked my mates stock 626 and telstar and they had it

so slim you use the kl28 for your de motor not the ze?

yeh, i use the kl28. i got an imported jap DE motor (they have lower kms), but no ecu so i had to use the kl28. It has the lower rev limiter (about 6000rpm.)
now, about what the guy said in the message.

have also
removed this ECU from the JDM manual MX6 and a 626
Manual. I did not get them confused as I still have
the Japanes Kanji sun visors for one of them.

he is right in one way because there are in fact japanese KL-DE engines. So he could have got a jap KL engine/front cut and removed the ecu and got a kl28.
hope this helps

actually, the rev limiter is about 6500rpm, sorry
