Whatever I babied it all the time except for the other night on Houston lake. Lol
what? aww man. so it's official,i have to travel to see the car instead of waiting for u to make it to the v.
Nah it will be back on the road asap. It's not like I have to do the swap over again. Just get some new internals. She will be back and better than before.![]()

Tom

a quick 2nd gear pull. dont make fun of my miss of 3rd. i need new linkage lol. im only making about 160hp right now because im still on a DE ecu. once i get a ZE ecu ill be making the full 200hp.
I know 5 people that had problems with fram filters.Thats enough for me..

Again, everyone knows someone who has had trouble with some kind of oil filter. Unless you are running some ridiculous oil pressure (200+psi?) then Fram is as good as any other. I watched a demo of a Royal Purple oil filter last to a burst pressure of like 450psi. I lawl'd all over myself.
EDIT
I don't want to start a shit storm so I'll stop.
Tom
im down with that man. i need some new suspension/brake parts but after those ill definitely be making the journey to the V.![]()
oh shit!! you are a BF superstar! good stuff man.. you will go down in history!![]()

yeah i do have a fram..guess ill look into getting a new one. thanks. and where would i get my chip put in at? im new to that stuff..
im using an oem mx3 K8 flywheel. i need to hook up an oil pressure gauge so i dont have a repeat of the DE.
mx3 flywheel is pretty good.Check out probinator chip on probetalk or mx6.com...U aint feeling shit,without the proper ecu!!!LOL

do you guys think that is legit? or just one of these fakes..?
More than likely its a fake. Stick with what Siverprobegt suggested. I have bought and used a couple of Probinator's chips and his are the real deal.
Tom
alright thanks for the info.
went and did a little driving. everything seems to be ok except one thing. i checked the coolant when i got home and there seems to be little copper colored pieces floating in it..im going to do a flush and see if they come back. i havent flushed it since the got the new motor. any ideas...?
Sounds like someone has used some type of radiator/block/head sealant in the cooling system. Flush it really well, and maybe more than once. Good luck bro.
Tom
You should be quicker than this....

BTW, what year KLZE did you order? I see you got the straight neck. It's been proven that the straight neck makes more top end while the curve neck makes better midrange. If you happen to hear a ticking noise coming from the engine, pull over immediately and check it out.
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
The ZE's have weak valve springs and excessive revving will crack them. The noise will sound similar to a stuck lifter. It happened to me. I replaced my valve springs out with the slightly stronger DE springs. No other valvetrain issues since.
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
I had really bad lifter tick on the DE. Could have possible been a spring because the exhaust sounded like a Subaru when it did tick under the hood. And it never really went away..
No tick on the ZE except first start up so I assumed that was just the lifter not lubricated yet.
And i'm insure of the year..I think it's got much more in it though. I found a great deal on a kl31 ecu and je50 vaf combo. That I will be picking up this week.
it will run a little rich with that ecu ,but it will be quicker than how it running right now!Let me know when you install it!

you put yo hood back on yet. . .?
