and thepope540 did a turbo kl swap into his msp so he would be the best to ask for a turbo swap

thank you so much for the input when you get the electrical figured out you planning on sc or turboing it?

 

[bullshark524]

i havent decided which but eventually one of them plus i am also thinking nitrous

thats awsome now ive been reading those posts you sent me but i havnt seen the issue yet come up the klze has high compression which means issues with boost you hear anything on that yet? or any ideas about it?

 

[bullshark524]

the people i have seen boost theres used the klde since it is lower compression. to find out more i would either ask justin what he plans on doing once he turbocharges his engine since it is currenlty a klze or check out probetalk, mx6.com, or performanceprobe. i personally prefer probetalk but any of those sites are good

ok im kinda new with the kl whats the differance between the de and ze

 

[bullshark524]

the de is the american version it had lower compression and less HP approx. 165
the ze is the japenesse version and it had higher compression and approx. 200HP

I have a good bit of experience with kl's and in my opinion if you are gonna boost it I would save yourself money and just use a KLDE, if your looking for a nice performing N/A build than a ze is 100 percent the way to go. Its alot of hassle to track down a good condition ze with all the componets you'll need. itd be much cheaper to just buy a parts car with a DE and swap it in than boost it. low boost fuel wont be much of an issue with millenia s injectors and a afpr (they drop right in) but a engine management setup would probly be recomended to get the full potential out of it.

thanks i actually just hydro locked my fsde two days ago so the msp is off the road but i work in a garage and a 2002 millenia came in smoking so we replaced the engine with the klze due to it being the only engine my job could find so i was able to have the old klde that smokes for free okay now when i swaped the motors i had to swap everything from one to the other all in all i have a klde block and heads and i have klze everything else(intake mani exhaust mani all sensors etc...) just wondering if that is going to make my life harder but what can i say it was all free
