I installed a set on my ZE from Ebay, they installed just fine onto the engine but you will encounter problems when you try to install the collector pipe, onto the headers once the motor is in the car due to clearance issues with the oil pan and crossmember, however a muffler shop should be able to fix this will a small amount of welding.

yes, you will need the ECU and Vaf sensor out of a mx-6. OBDI and OBDII im not sure about but I can guess you'll need the one that your car is (93-94 OBDI, 95+ OBDII) as far as I know anyway.

Since your brake booster is on the other side it will not interfere with the intake manifold, which would make your car an ideal candidate for the straight neck KLZE. No need to swap your K8 manifold.

You'll want the correct throttle body...a K8 throttle body isn't as wide and will reduce your HP. I dont know exactly what part numbers will work with the de manifold but you can ask around or do a little research yourself.

The automatic transmission, im not 100% sure about. However I do know that the manual transmission bolts right up, so I see no reason why the auto would not, however like I said...Im not 100% sure and thus you should get a 2nd or 3rd opinion.

goodluck with your project

the auto trans swaps over no problem i do believe it isnt as strong a a ze one though. as far as the throttle body u can use the 1 from the k8 until u find one from a klze or de from probe millenia mx6 626 (i know they are called differently in oz tho like eunos 60x and stuff)the diameter is just a bit bigger so more air flow and if your straight neck doesnt fit for some reason u can use your k8 intake manifold as well but once again it will reduce airflow.

Well, sorry I didn't read it sooner but K8 auto's do bolt up and should run fine (I can't remember of it's the Mx-3 or the Mx-6/626/Probe that uses a 2nd, seperate ECU for the auto trans) so you'll have to stick with the Mx-3 ECU for the auto trans an use a KL02 VAF. Can't explain why you're having issues with the converter bolts, that shouldn't be a problem.

The K8 auto dosn't last when bolted to a KL, it can't handle the power. Regardless if you get it running, it'll typically last only a few weeks...

KL auto trans doesn't work in the Mx-3 bay as far as anyone whose tried to stick with an auto has said.

There should be no problem with the brake booster and the straight neck as he said, his car is right hand drive. K8 manifold bolts on no problem if you decide to go that way for whatever reason. TB should work too, I think people use to put KL TB's on K8's, although the improvement is minimal since the restriction is the intake manifold in itself.

thanks for the info dam i knew i must of missed something between the crankshaft and the drive plate there is a adapter or so called spacer i didnt put one or missed seeing it on the k8 engine dam the k8 went to scrap yard now do you think this adapter or so called spacer will be had to find here is the part number for it FU9B19025 REF 19025 A im so silly sometimes ,i pulled my gearbox back out just need to find one or do you think im silly fitting the auto box im not going to boot it this car is just to get to a to b i have a turbo car for fun plz give me advise thanks
