so if i was to get a KLZE with a curved neck, i could run my K8 ecu. but i would need to change out my VAF? is this correct?

No, I don't think so. You can run it with both, but it would throw engine codes and run rich. If you replace one, you should replace both. Or just bypass it altogether with something like MegaSquirt.

i did my swap last week and you can run it with the stock ECU and the stock vaf fine.

thast how im running mine at the moment, but thats only becasue im waiting for my probinator chip to arrive in the mail. although you can run it on stcok ECU you wont get the full potential out of it so id recommend a probinator chip or a j spec ECu to run it properly.

ill let you know how my chip works once its in

hello..sorry to interupt...i was wondering.....to swap from k8 to a KLZE, is it necessary to swap the whole wiring harness and sensors?

No. You are simply putting in a bigger V6 Engine. Everything but the EGR will still be used. I think the only "major" modification is that you have to make the TPS wire like 6 inches longer...

it should be plug and play - when you remove the k8 put little pieces of tape and mark on each wire and plug you disconnect so you know where it goes on the klze... you can get lost quickly or forget...
