Hey all,
I bought my P5 in april 2012, and little over a week later my engine ran out of oil. I was little confused but filled it back up. 3 days later, all gone! After dong some inspecting and diagnostics over the course of a week or two we determined it was my cyl 3 rings. I was in school at the time, it was my daily, I had no choice but to keep putting oil in it. I have had MX6's and MX3's in the past, I have a pretty well rounded knowledge of the KL engines. I had a garage full of parts, I figured push it as long as I can to gather everything to do this swap. so 50L of oil later (haha just guessing but quite a lot of oil) I was ready to swap.
I had 3 days to do it, in order to keep my schooling and afternoon factory job intact. Needless to say, I wasn't able to get it all going in such amount of time. Mechanically, its a breeze. Wiring, on the other hand, was not my forte, and I ran into problems. I wasn't able to look at the diagram and see whats infront of me and have it click. Now I could almost do it in my sleep.
I have started to try and write a complete "How-to" on the KLZE because out of the handful of people that have done it, no one has written a complete walk through. Justin (ihone on here) was by far the most helpful I have ever encountered. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to complete it. Skype and his background was truly what got me running.
Anyway heres some pictures of my car, before and after. I will keep updating on my progress for my build with a list.
