        The FSZE wouldn't make sense for him to swap. It's the JDM version of the 2.0 4-cylinder DOHC engine and it's very difficult to do it properly. The ECU swap is said to be extremely difficult.

        If kids dropping RB's into 240's and other random swaps in home garages a FSZE would not be out of reach. Wiring sucks but think of the ranodomness of the swap and also the rarity. If a LS1 can be dropped between the frame rails and function in a BMW 325 then fuck anything is possible.

                The KLZE motor came today i was reallly really excited...until i looked at my old wireing harness yeah that is a joke who ever had this car had something done fVcked up with the wireing thats probably the whole reason that the other motor went bad was because of bad wireing it is so chopped up i wish i knew who had that work done to the car or did it themselfves becase i belive the motor has been out before i bought the car becasue all the clips are broke for the harnesses, melted wires, and lots of other shit i can deffinetly say that there is some wireproblems with this car.

                    I do believe the question was for him as well, not you. And I aslo asked the question before he stated what engine he had purchased.

                      Was there even a hint early on in this thread that he wanted a difficult engine swap which would be a downgrade? No.

I'm interested in seeing the progress of the project and thats what this portion of the forum is for. So please keep the neg comments and backtalking to yourselves. Thank you.

                          well i started assembling the new engine, and decided to replace a few maintanence items like the water pump, but then i ran into a problem, the mfg put the wrong hub on the water pump so yea my pully would not bolt up so had to pull ha;f the motor apart again. the motor should be in today. i will post some pics later today

                              Let me know how that JDM motor runs. You bought the 2.5 V6 right? I think it has 205hp with 195lbs tq? Am i correct? I am planning on buying one for my 626. Let me know when you get it running, id like to check it out and maybe even ride in it.

                              Also, i am in a car forum that deals all about 626's and probes.
                              www.mazda626.net
                              And one that deals with probes only
                              www.probeaddiction.com

                              ^^^
                              Those are good websites when it comes to tuning and ordering parts for the JDM V6.

                              Like i said good luck and keep me updated with the progress.

                                The KLZE is rated at 190-197 hp depending on the year, and 160 ft-lbs torque. It's only going to put out 190+ at the crank if it's in top condition, running on the JDM ECU, and it's running on high octane fuel.

                                  yeah the wireing is all messed up on this car so today decided instead of trying to figure it out that i would try find a harness and i found one in GF at swanglers autoparts so that was pretty sweet, i had to go pull the harness out myself but that was ok it was a good thing to find one.

                                    well i guess this car is turning into a little bit of a money pit, now i had to order a distributor for the car seeing as how FORD had a screw up with their distributors that if they get to hot they burn out or something so i figure if i replace everything now i wont have too many problems in the future, but its still cool that when you open the hood it says mazda on the engine lol i just get a kick out of that.

                                      The problem with the distributors has a workaround using a GM HEI module.

                                        ok i need a little help so i hope someone out there can help me, i replaced the whole wireing harness, and distributor, but i can still get no spark, is there anything that i could be missing to cause it to get no spark. i have heard the crank sensor and i have replaced that too but still no spark. Please let me know any options.

                                          maybe crank sensor is on backwords, bad plug wires, bad ignitor/wrong ignitor. not everything is connected right,

                                          and last and most important is the grounds. my car did start and my dad did the last final hook ups while i was working and it didnt start. the problem was that the ground were not properly clean off

                                          PM me for:
                                          Sandblasting(I use glass beads)
                                          Diesel repairs or performance products.
