You have a Mazda MX-3 GS which is the V6 version of our car. Your car comes with a K8 motor which is a 1.8L V6.
A KLDE a.k.a. KL-03 is the US and Canadian spec 2.5L V6 that came out of a Mazda MX-6 LS, Mazda 626 V6, Probe GT, and Mazda Millenia Base Model. It is 164hp and Millenia versions were 170hp.
A KLZE is the Japanese version of the KLDE. KLZE is 195hp in the curved neck Intake Manifold with KL01 cams and 200hp in the straight neck IM with KL31 cams.
K symbolizes that family of motors, L means its a 2.5L, DE means its US domestic motor and ZE means its Japanese market motor.

Why have numbers changed all of a sudded? Both Curved-Neck KL01 and Straight-Neck KL31 10:1 ZE are rated for 198hp, the different is that the powerband is lower with the KL01's, peaking out around 4500pms, while the 31's peak around 5800.Illa Killa wrote:A KLZE is the Japanese version of the KLDE.

Just to note as well, your KLDE info is spot on
