Yet another ECU question
Posted: June 19th, 2007, 1:49 am
Hi
At about a year ago I bought a klze from TigerJapanese.com, or at least I was under the impression that it was a klze. Unfortunately my girlfriends car took up my garage for almost a year as she crashed it up quite nicely (323F ba) and the insurance company didn't solve the problem at once. This caused that I foolishly trusted that the engine was OK and forgot about it as it got in to my garage. Now I have finally got the time and space to start at my swap.
The engine is a curved neck edition. When I started to dig down in the engine (I am doing a more or less total overhaul) I was thinking about what was making this a klze and not a klde. My cams are stamped with kl01 as its probably should as of the curved neck? But the heads is sadly stamped kl01-101 and kl01-1A1.. This will make it a klde for shure?
I also think I remember the pistons to not being flat on the top.
Is this when I should probably hate myself for not checking this once I got it?
Probably, because I live in Norway and the shipping cost me more then the engine it self it, wouldn't matter anyhow..
After I except that it is in fact a klde (if you don't tell me otherwise) it comes down to my question:
What ECU should I run on?
Should we take the curved neck in consideration?
Since I already have the JE-50 maf, could I run on the kl36/kl31 ecu and gane some power here?
Or do I need the standard ecu for the klde because of the different compression in the klze vs. klde?
The engine is now stripped down in bits and peaces. Feel free to come with suggestions if there is something I should do besides the normal overhaul (porting etc.)
