I think there was a discussion about this before but I am pretty sure that the bpt is faster.. On my dynograph the engine makes full torque at 3000 rpm and keeps it there until redline. I dont think the v6 would be able to have a chart like that. Does anyone have a klze dyno sheet to post.. Im intrested.

better is too general of a term. It really rests upon how you personally define "better"

Better MPG for the power you get?
Better assorment of mods?
Better reliablity?
Better etc...

Be specific. For the $$$, I prefer the BPT, but thats my personal opinion.

In all honesty I prefer the sound of the V6. It’s just my preference. It’s bigger, heavier, and slower. But it is torquey and sounds sweet; it still has potential, and a blast to drive around. Although I love my 4 banger turbo, I think it would be sweet to have a ZE as well. I think for better reliability a KLZE would be the way to go. If you want to make gobs of power for cheaper then a BPT is the way to go. Either way one would end with good results.

I think this has been brought up serveral times. Usually comes down to what you are planning to do etc. If it's for a daily driver I would say ZE as it's a good motor less heat...less issues with the turbo. If you are looking to put something mean on the read the BPT is a good choice as it offer gobs of modifications etc.

The ZE (which I have) is also a power house in terms of putting power on the road from a N/A perspective...though the power band is significantly different than that of the BPT. The full power comes in at about 4500RPM and I feel cuts out at about 7000RPM.

Plus I am sure you searched the topic you would find a lot more input.

Go with klze if your car is a v6, go with bp-t if your car is an i4.

being sold by cablemirc himself off of clubprotege.com

Hunt around online, there are a few importers that can get them for not too much. But please stay away from flashoptions ok? They tend to rip ppl off.

BPT!!!!

MUCH BETTER MOTOR. There is nothing wrong with the KL-ZE, but they are just more cumbersome! I have one in my PGT and when I bought my MX-3 I sought out an I4 just because I'd rather go Turbo I4 than NA V6.
