I know. But when comparing the 1.8 to the 2.0 you'd be hard pressed to be able to spot the difference (unless you have X-ray vision and can spot the extra 200cc displacement!!

[size=75]Thinking About Replacing a v6 engine out of a 1996 N Reg with another v6 engine - not too sure about year but is definitely a v6 out of a Mazda 323 F. I'm Assuming all the v6 Engines for Mazda 323 F's are the same. or are they ? anyone help ? Thanks.[/size] |

Why dont you just buy a new V6 323F? or is there a reason you for not getting a new car? I know the 1.5's and 1.8's had minor revisions in the early years, however I think the UK V6 engines are all the same???? |

if you have a look in a 'J' reg MX3 you'll STILL find the same engine in there so it's a good bet that it is EXACTLY the same from a 323F. :P |

[size=75]Reason I'm Getting Another One Fitted Is Cos I Can Get One Supplied And Fited For Around 600 Quid. New v6 323F Would Cost Me 2K + So No Problems With Replacing A v6 With Another v6 ?[/size] |

Some people have managed to shovel the 2.5V6 from the MX-6 into the nose of a MX-3!! http://www.mx-3.com/swap/ Would love to do that if I had the time, money and expertise.... ...alas, I have to buy power 'of-the-shelf' instead; would be horrific to see the results if [b]I[/b] tried to do what these guys have done!!

....AND they found a 200HP version of the KL engine (a KL-ZE, apparently!!) ...I always suspected that Mazda deliberately UNDER-tuned the V6's for reliability... just didn't realise it was by THAT much!! |

it's quite easy to put the 2.5 KL-ZE into the BA you have to use the KF intake runners s the KL's wont clear the bonnet of the BA, but apart from that it's pretty easy! it's been to a couple in australia |

No problem. Just get a fibre-glass bonnet and build a bulge into it (subtle style, of course) and perhaps a vent to get more air into the bay!!

true, but fbg bonnets are a no-no here in Aus oh, and the JDM version of the 2.0 KF has different cams for slightly more power |

AHA! I feel enlightened! (just wish my car was a little lighter too!! :P ) So all I need to do is get some profiled cams and a programmable ECU.... |
