Ok im confused...

i understand that the kl36 ecu came from AUTO cars right? and kl31 came with MANUAL cars..


Now.. didnt KLZES ONLY come in auto???



hmm

anyone?


so my vris is off with the kl36 ecu? I got a curved neck


NOT TURBO ANYMORE.

That's what's been theorized, but people have found KL31's in auto's and KL36 in manuals, stock. For what people can tell, there is no difference between a 31 and a 36.

Curved-Neck ZE's came auto only.

KL31 and KL36 ECU's are setup for straight neck intake manifolds, so yes, they are offon a curved beck ZE

but what I never understood was why there wasn't an exact ECU for the curve neck... does this mean the cars they came out of didn't run as well as they could???

Cause they are OBDII and ran a MAF

I can feel a pull which means thayt vris is not set up properly, my track times were affected by the ecu, aww oh well

So if the Millenia KL-ZE is OBDII, why is it so hard to swap one into a '94 + MX-3?

I don't remember having to take any special wiring considerations for my ze swap other than the knock sensor... i personally don't know if the engine harness would be different between OBDI and OBDII, though. also I THINK my KL01 cammed (factory curved neck) ZE was from a 96 Millenia (OBDII?).

I'm asking out of my own interest: why couldn't one get a Millenia OBDII ECU and (OBDI or II?) KL-ZE and stick it in a '94+ MX-3?

That ECU has totally different pinouts then the mx6/mx3 ecu. The millenia car is alot different then our cars (think of all the electronics etc).

gotcha. thanks.

Time to install MSD Window Switches?

Japan does not have OBD2. Here is an interesting wiring harness swap link.
