Engine swap possibilities....

Here is a LINK that gives all the specs for the FE3. Also as far as the 2.3 KJ Miller Cycle, it has almost the same power output as the KLZE, but they're rare and expensive. The ZE would be a lot less hassle, cheaper, easier to install, also there's not much mod potential in the KJ, whereas you can still mod a fair bit of power out of the KLZE, so I'd say it's the better choice by far. Also the KJ only came with auto's, so you might run into trouble with the ecu if you drop it in a manual. Also with the KJ you will probably have to do something different with the hood, because the intake manifold sits higher. If you want to go for max power I would say go with the ZE and twin turbo it good for about 400 hp.

Just my 2 cents
Good post, welcome to the board!

the klze engines run slighty higher copmression compared to the kl03's though. you must remember that high compression and forced induction create slight problems.

its quite possible to have a klze with a FI application, but you have to take in consideration the extra precautions. many ppl have run turbos and supers on klze's, but i'm not sure a twin turbo setup would be possible...i guess with money anything is possible though...


as for using mx-3 motor mounts, i'd definatley get the poly mounts from corksport instead of using the stock ones. they might fit with minor adjustments. the engines DO sit on the same "side" of the engine bay.
