V6 Mazda 323

A little side project before the drag Probe returns to action. Mazda 323, stock everything except home made cold air intake and Magnaflow muffler. The engine is 2.5L V6 (KLZE), again, stock.

I NEED THE NAME MOTOR V6 MILENIA MOTOR?

[FrankenProbe]

In this car I used the Japanese V6 from an MX-6 (KLZE). You can use any 2.5L V6 from a 93-97 Probe, MX-6, Millenia or 626 (american version is KLDE). KLZE = bhp, KLDE = 164 bhp, but with a few mods like headers, cams, exhaust, the KLDE can run as fast as a ZE.

Franken i am goin on a lil proyect just to ask, the KLZE to do it turbo? do u have lower the compresion of the motor, or the klze stock i can put it turbo just like that???

[FrankenProbe]

You can turbocharge the KLZE just fine if you keep boost under 7-8 psi and run a decent management system (like Megasquirt, SDS, Electromotive, etc). Run the proper size injectors, make sure your fuel pump is adequate, tune it proper on the dyno and you'll be alright. 8psi on a KLZE should make close to 400 crank hp, which is plenty for a FWD street car.

Hi I got a 323 KLDE ,just want to know if you find a place for a fan to cool-up things?

I can't stay long at a red light in the summer days temp hit 195-200º fast.

What kind of rad and fan would fit? Your car is very cool! nice project!

[wifiman1]

Thats so cool people will think its a slow car until they get in

@javy2489 Just boost a DE, the ZE's lifters will die out after one or two 1/4 mile runs. Not to mention you can boost higher on the DE because of lower compression (domed pistons rather than flat heads like the ZE) However if you already bought the ze, get a new valvespring/retainers/lifters kit all together.... Will save you lots of trouble and you will be able to run an easy 9k redline boosted on the ze ;)

Hey there, I plan to trade my hatchback civic for the 323 hatch.. civic engines cost too much and they have the same power the klze has.. Just wanted to know If I got the 323 and had the klze engine what mods can you do ? I called a shop and they said not much .. not much aftermarket support for this engine .. but here on youtube I see 11 - 13 second 323's why? .. any advise, thanks!
