KLZE v6 Miata. These engines stock put out 200 HP and have an aluminum block. Would be an awesome ride.

There is alot of really nice fabrication there!

thats an awesome ITB setup

My gawd I bet that thing screams! What a clean engine compartment.

A work of art!!!

That is a lot of good fabrication. I think those GSXR ITB's rock.

But I like the monster miata's better.



Yes sir, thats a mustang 5.0.

[MONSOON]

OMG I bet that thing can smoke the tires down to the rims! Im betting though that it doesnt handle that great with that V8.

The KLZE from a Ford Probe, correct?

Those guys kept telling me I needed to do that swap into a Festiva...

[mattswabb]

The KL8 is the probe, 1.8L and about 130HP. The KLZE is a 2.5L JDM engine that swaps into the probe.

I still believe it will fit into a festiva using the probe trans, custom axle and a lot of fabrication.

Slight correction, the K8 is 1.8L (130hp) and is in the MX-3. The Probe and MX-6 have the KLDE which is 2.5L (160hp). The KLZE is JDM and is also 2.5L but roughly 200HP. I now have a most of the parts needed to see if it will fit into a festiva, I just don't have a garage or the space to do it. I got rid of the K8 from my mx-3 when I put a KLDE in it (didn't have anywhere to store it), otherwise I would have everything to see if it fits.

Thanks, I knew the KLZE was a common swap for the Probes. Before getting my Festiva, I had an 89 GL... That thing was fun (aside from all the corny jokes)...

that miata would be a blast to drive!!

what, everyone was afraid you were going to rear-end them?

Those things sound very formula like with a nice exhaust on them. Probably sounds even nastier with ITBs on it.

I'm guessing they used a Suzuki gran vitara tranny since that is about the only one that would bolt up directly to that engine for RWD useage.

Adapter plate with n/a rx-7 bellhousing and miata trans. There should be a video somewhere on that site. It sounds awesome.
