    The KJ-ZEM 2.3L "Miller Cycle". 2255cc.
    My boss has one in their Millenia. I also want it! heheh

    I wasn't saying KL's can't handle boost. What I was saying is that your comparing an engine, that because it wasn't designed for boost, is tuned that way with a higher C/R, whereas the B's have a lower C/R, which takes better to boost. But anyways all I was doin was razzin ya haha I'd prefer an N/A KL-ZE over a turbo BP anyways, not to mention turbocharged or tt! hehe

    What I really wanna know is if you're going TMIC.

      ^^I have done much, much, research on the KJ, and i WILL do that swap next after my KL is turbo'd, the only problem is that when i build a KJ festiva, i won't be able to keep it, so i'd build it, test drive it for a little while then sell it

      I only have room for 1 project car, and my red festiva is not going anywhere, but i can temporarily deal with another car just so i can have my fun with a KJ

      I dam near had a donor car too, recent supercharger rebuild (seals commonly go bad in them) and then it got in a wreck, i'm still trying to get it but it's not looking good

      And for my Intercooler, yes, it will be mounted over my rear valve cover, i have no room anywhere else

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

        But with the amount of work you put into the car to run low 14s N/A, you could have had an 11-second B6T powered car!

        You'll have to let me know when you go out to the track next, I'd love to see the car in person! Do you go to Grand Bend?

            with a good clutch, i bet it'll run mid 13's, dam near matching your best time with your modded B6T, and i basically have no mods to the KL lol
