Hello everyone, this is my first post over here. So, let me introduce myself. My name is Justin I live in southwestern, NH and drive a 2000 Mazda Protege ES. This past May myself and two friends completed the swap of a straight neck klze into the protege replacing the 1.8l FPDE. I was told by a member over on Mazdas247 to post over here as some of you PT guys might enjoy seeing another KL application.
So here are some basic details:
KLZE Straight Neck, confirmed with the KL31-1a1 and kl31-101 heads, flat pistons, kl31 cams, kl31 TB and obvious intake manifold.
94 MX6 tranny with a 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege LSD, welded for safety.
ebay SRI w/ AEM Filter
Pacesetter headers
Stock Protege Exhaust w/ 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege Axle-Back and no cats
KL36 ECU and JE50 Vaf
94 MX6 wiring harness
Tranny saver bracket
AWR Front and Rear Motor mounts and tranny mount inserts
2003 Protege ES 2.0l Axles
MX6 Flywheel w/ DXD SouthBend Rally Stage 1 Clutch
MX6 Radiator
AFPR set at 44psi
Here is my big thread over at Mazdas247, hope its ok to link to it.

Some Pictures:
The Car

I have thousands of pictures of all the progress the car has seen with the swap and everything else so it was hard to select only a few pictures to post at first. Hope everyone enjoys and hope this is a good section to put it in as well.
