On a us model car? Other than harness . Ecu etc what else will b needed ?

I heard if we don't have abs there is a problem? If so whats the solution to it or the way to by pasa it?
 
easy solution: get the motor, skip the harness, and run a stand-alone ecu.

better yet, skip the motor, build the one you have, and get a turbo kit.
 
lol yeah i would not mind doing the stand alone either way eventually ill need it. well for the price i can get the motor its a STEAL then i can keep my fs-de and build it slowly and appropriately
 
If you intend on re using your ECU all you need to do is swap the fuel line from the DE onto the ZE

So much wrong info on here...
The motor will pretty much plug into stock harness

Regular protege ecu might run it but you'll want to get an mp3 ecu and an ssafc to get your monies worth

The crank pulley will have to be swapped out as well

There's a lot of info on the swap

Thx for ur input well swap comes with the ecu for it and harness but was told I need the dash harness???
 
I think it's only for the speedometer but it's where the abs is used for the speedometer. If you use the mp3 ecu it won't be a problem. Also if you use the fsze ecu you'll be going to obd1

So mp3 ecu will make it run like the fs ze one? And then everything will plug and play with stock harness etc?
 
Not quite like the fsze one but it will run it. I would suggest getting some sort of piggy back though. Iirc it's pretty much plug and play there may be something's there that's not but you could probly swap the sensor and plug from the de. The motors are basicly the same except pistons, cams, and intake mani.

Gotcha guess time to do deep research to see all required to use the fs ze ecu
 
Hey rico i just asked someone i know who has put in a fs-ze in and he did not use a dash harness.
 
You have to use the FSZE ECU to be able to extract all the 170hp of that engine....with the stock one the timing of the valves wont be good and you wont be able to run at 100%. Get the FSZE and harness, i'm sure that it'll be better that way ^^ Anyways, from the last time I checked it seemed like the best way. (unless someone was able to find another one)

Yea I know that I'm trying to find out if with just harness and fs ze ecu all I gotta do is bolt and plug it all up or if there is anything extra to do like wiring
Or different sensor or if I need dash harness too like someone mentioned to me before because swap is obd1 and my us p5 is obd2
 
I have FS-ZE very low mile engine in my P5 turbo. If FS-ZE from mazda familia sport 20 you swap it with little problems. You need install on FS-ZE P5 exhaust mani. Intake mani dont have VTCS in FS-ZE, you need just leave solenoid connected to harness and check engine dont light. You need reinstall you knock sensor from P5 is the different.
If you have FS-ZE from Mazda Capella always with auto tranny you have more problems. Crank pulley, housing for temp sensor, termostat body, heater tube, throttle body, crank pulley, average pan are the different. You dont need FS-ZE ECU, it made mitsubishi in plastic black house, have obd 1 and different harness connector.
