Ford Probe Forum : “KLZE swaped probe ”

I've had mine swapped for a while now.. best upgrade for the probes other than the need for the computer or chip to make the electrical work out..

There are a LOT of KLZE swapped cars out there.  What year is yours? I used to have a Ze, but ditched it for a motor I am building.  I am guessing you have not been to Probetalk.com?

I got a ze swapped probe. Great upgrade, I just need to get a few things to make it run right. And replace my vris solenoids.

This is something that i was interested in doing in the spring, can you give me any advice?  Where did you buy from?  How much did you pay?  Any tips and tricks for installation?  Thanx

ONLY buy from TIGER JAPANESE.COM!!!! Or you could be seriously ripped off. Check your JDM KL-ZE engine for KL31 stamps on heads and on camshafts if you can. !KL31!. It was around $950 with shipping to Iowa, where I live. If you buy one, replace the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, and belts. Replace all you can before you install into the car. Make sure to switch over your original distributor and throttle body too, very important. Make sure you keep EVERYTHING off your original engine you may need. Also we had an easier time installing the engine from underneath the car with the use of a car lift and a cherry picker. And if you have a manual transmission, make sure that you resurface your flywheel and buy at least a STAGE 2 clutch or higher rated!!! That's just some basics for 'ya.

welll there are alot of tips i can give all i can say is dont take your car into any bogus oil change or repair centers because they fucked up my engine. 900+$ down the drain preety much. but mine does have the kz swap just go according to the state laws, because i know i couldnt get mmine at one time, i had to get part by part in order for them not to seize ahold of my engine

it's good that you said tiger, cause i was going to buy from probeaddiction.com  They were quoting $1500 for the engine and like $250 to ship to wisconsin, thanx man

No problem. They are a good source and im only helping out another mazda/probe fan!!! haha
