There are options like MSD window switches to control VRIS
Megasquirt will do everything and it was designed to work with this engine so thats another positive
Microtech LT12 now (thanks to Bat) have base maps for the ZE so thats option 3
There are stock ECU upgrades in the US to work with this engine but for the money required to get it to them and back again isn't really worth the $$ spent
Or there is the KL31/36 ecu which may require wiring fabrication to suit the VAF(mx6 ZE) depending which engine you end up with
There used to be vrtuners to fix the problem also but they are now defunct

Im tired of finding electrical problems thought of just chipping it. Ill give the tuning company the old chip from KFZE and kl31 and then they can programme vris points??? or do i realy need ekspert company in this?


some pics form the engine

Well good luck with reprogramming the KF chip, if they do a good job then everything should be fine, But my concern is "have you been qouted a price" could be a bit more expensive than you think
Otherwise there is this option and you then know what you are spending
MSD Window Switch
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...?part=msd-8956
There are many places these can be bought fromI just thought I would post an example cost
Here is a PDF from MSD

the price is around 600eur damn expensive.... MSD switch?? what will that do? I have read it all but dont get it its like Revlimiter and used for nitrus??
Have you looked at the wiring yet? I have the kl31 ecu and vaf je50 but im realy noob when it comes to wiring and mesuring singnals... I was told that MX3 wiring is identical with kl31... must have a look at it.

thanks

VRIS may change peak torque but not peak power. Normal road usage you wouldn't notice.

Yes and no IMHO
When I had the KF-ZE engine running off the Aus ECU the car pulled like crazy till 6k and was flat after that even though the KF-ZE made peak power at 7k
I really wish I had the JDM ECU installed for longer than a week (long story... dont ask)
Was really noticable on the strip

So basicly it works but could be better. Someone did make a VRIS controller many moons ago (out of production last time I checked).
If you could find a shift light circuit that worked at low enough RPM then you could use two and switch each VRIS stage in sequence

Yes I apologise if anyone thought the engine wouldnt work without this problem resolved, its just a limited cause to the engines full potential
Yeah youre talking about the vrtuner, dodgy company that went belly up
There are many options to assist in this VRIS saga it just depends how much time you spend searching for them
I prefer afteermaket EMS

Yes it works with old setup but has about 160hp... ish..

Ok I was told that KF33 ecu used in Type R can run ZE engine with no problem as they were almost identical to kl31/36 also VRIS points... Also I can use my existing setup(maf-wiring) and that's a big +... Probinator told me this the dude that makes Chips for mx6/Probes... Is this true?

Yes the KF33 Vris points will be fairly close
Id expect you to have more than 160hp... ish as thats the power from a KL01/DE
Yes Probinator as I believe does make an upgrade chip for the KL31/36 ECU but you may need to send the ECU to him, I have never looked into these before. I believe the KL36 ECU to be from the JDM Millenia so therefore it is designed to use with a MAF So for your setup realistically should be plug and play
SO the install went smoothly??
If possible some pics for others to ogle would be nice

Are you 100% sure about this??

When is 323f BA OBD2?? 96?

I will post some pics this weekend no prob.. It feels like 160-65 ish I run it with stock ECU that’s why.... This is the only thing i must sort.

The beauty of it is that you can just unplug one and start it run it and then if theres faults then you can revert back without the added expense of additional wiring and fancy doo dads
Try it you may like it

Guys,
REading this with great interest.

Mr. Obsessed, any updates on using KF33 ecu with MAF sensor on the KLZE engine ?

Just thought I might point out that there are always Megasquirt's for sale through the forums on probetalk, and you can usually find a used one for real cheap
If you grab one of these you will not have dramas anymore

Pete, JDM Millenia runs on a KL47 ecu and a MAF sensor. However, the MAF on JDM Millenia is different from the MAF on a 323f Hatch type R. Yesterday, I happened to come across a front cut (very rare in Kuala Lumpur), complete with dashboard and engine. The code for the ecu is KL47 and uses a MAF. Snap a pix and uploading it soon.

By the way, what is a Megasquirt ? Is it a piggy back ecu that is design for KLZE engines ? If getting Megasquirts will solve all these problems, I will get one then.
