Sounds good dude, maybe if i was u i would go with the swap since it so cheap. But its up to you. I'm also lookin for a new car. Lookin for a 1995 m3. I don't much about swaps for the probe or i would be giving you suggestions. But just make sure u can get some power for less money. Does that swap ur talking about give u a descent engine for power or what some other swap choices you have?

The regular V6 KL-03: 164hp/160tq (approx.149whp/145wtq)
The J-spec V6 KL-ZE: 200hp/195tq (approx.185whp/180wtq)

The compression is raised from 9.2 to 10.0
The ZE engines come with 30k-40k miles on them.
NO vris #2 selenoid, which is an egr sensor, another way to get more power out of the engine.
Direct drop in.

I would personally go with the KL-ZE and manual swap...you're going to come out a lot cheaper than getting a new car, or getting a KL-03

[Raipier]

Well, I'm gonna get some estimates on how much labor it might cost. If we can get the new engine + install for about 1000, then its worth it to keep the car. The only bad part is that I need to find someone willing to part with their engine or find a company with some. That could take some time. Doing a manual swap would be nice too since I already would have the engine out of the car, but that is secondary to getting the engine firstl.

damn brad... how many times you going to change your mind on what you want?? teg,rx7,teg,m3? which one is it?

[ProLiFik]

well is basically boiling down to whicever i find for in my price range im being patient as i was with my first car. So hopefully i can have some luck doing it again.

[WOLFatNCSU]

Well you should be able to find a KL-ZE with a manual for cheap.

[Raipier]

HOpefully I can find one locally, cuz shipping ouwld be a bitch.

[Raipier]

So far, I haven't found anyone getting rid of their ZE. The best price I've seen for a new ZE from a company is $1200 without tranny. If you add in shipping and labor, this could cost round $2k. However there is this place in Vriginia that is suppose to sell them and other JDM engines cheaper than anyone http://www.noyanusa.com/, plus its close enough that I could pick it up.

[Raipier]

That stupid company hasn't gotten back to me yet about the price of the ZE . Anyway, if anyone sees any good deals around town let me know, cuz I have'nt seen anything good yet. The only choices that look decent are a '89 Probe GT (which is turbo'd) and a 1st gen Eclipse GST (not sure of the price though). My mechanic is also fixing up a '86 300ZX (non turbo) but that has some front damage that he is working on right now.

[ProLiFik]

Can you not find anything online? You should be able to come across an engine pretty cheap online. Thats where im getting mine if i'm going for an engine.

[Raipier]

The cheapest i can find is 1200 + shipping. Then if u include installation it would probably come out to prolly round $2000. I'm still thinking bout wether or not its worth doing that or not. I still want a Manual too... Thats why im looking round town for a new car, just incase i do decide to get rid of my car. I already got an offer form someone in Chappel Hill who would like to use the shell of my car. All im doing is covering all possibilities. plus if i get a car like the eclipse or probe, then they already come turbo'd. And the old probe turbo is able to beat my generation stock for stock on a track.
