An engine produced by Mazda, but never sold in North America; The American market recieved the KL-DE (nicknamed the KL-03) which was less powerful than the KL-ZE.

The KL engines have VRIS (Variable Resonance Induction System) and makes a very flat power curve, much better than Honda engines

The KL-ZE makes 200hp and 165lbs-ft/tq.

Many people swap these engines into such cars as the Ford Probe Gt, Mazda Mx6/Mx3/323/Protoge/626.
Shitson! My H22 Prelude engine got smoked by your KL-ZE 626.
