Just did some research lately. This is what i found out.
Just want to know iz the Millenia intake manifold (Xedos 9 here in Europe) is the same as the Japanese Millenia intake (Eunos 800) with the 200 HP KLZE engine.
There are three types of intake manifolds for the 2.5 KL engine.
The "regular" one found in Mazda MX-6/626 and Ford Probe. (no pictures needed here I suppouse). Then there are the ZE type intake manifolds. The long straight neck type from the Japanese MX-6 : http://www.naplesnews.com/staff/fort...20Manifold.jpg
and the curved neck type from the Japanese Eunos 800 (Millenia) :

But one car is missing here. The Millenia or Xedos 9 with the regular KL 03 engine. What kind of intake manifold does it have?
To no surprise it has the same intake as the KLZE powered Eunos 800. The curved neck type :

I even checked at a local Mazda dealer, they have a used 95 Xedos 9 (Millenia). It has those same large square intake runners.
So, who cares....
After checking all possible sources I can make this for sure. The Millenia has: Horsepower: 170hp @ 5800 rpm Torque: 160ft-lbs. @ 4800 rpm
626/MX-6/Probe have: Horsepower: 164hp @ 5600 rpm Torque: 160ft-lbs. @ 4800 rpm
The engines are equal in everthing but the intake manifold. The Millenia intake mani has this large square intake runners like the ZE.
Here you can compare the 03 and the ZE intake runners:

This would explain the 6 HP difference. Millenia has the curved neck KLZE manifold.
To be 100 % sure someone should remove the intake from a wrecked Millenia in a scrapyard and check the intake runners. Are they large as in the ZE intake?
Now I am searching for a used Millenia intake mani since it is very similar to the K8 manifold im my MX-3 and fits much better then the KL mani when I will put the KL in the MX-3.
If the Millenia intake is similar or equal to the ZE intake, it would be cheap enough to find one at a scrapyard form a wrecked car than paying extra money for the "rare" Eunos 800 KLZE intake.
I want to hear your opinions.
