Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has ever attempted to put in a KJ-ZEM engine into our cars?

It's a supercharged miller-cycle from a 93 eunos 800.

Just thought this is interesting for those of you wanting supercharged cars.

There's been talk about it, but, as far as I know, nobody has ever done it. Somebody in another forum tried it with a g5 tranny, and it bolts right up, but other than that, nobody has ever tried to see if there's a flywheel/clutch combination that'd make it possible to match them up.
Besides that, there's the issue of the engine's height, and the needed engine mount fabrication.

It's been discussed MANY times. It's alot of work for minimal gain. It's a motor designed for efficiency, fuel economy of a 2.0L, but the performance of a 3.0L.

And, it won't fit like other KL's

It's totally different, it wouldn't fit between your chassisbars
