It is easier to get a zlde or a zlve engine at this point in time.
If fuel economy is your thing then get the zlde, if you want a lil more performance then check the zlve. Or you can go all out and get a fsze, but will require premium, the zlde /zlve can run super/

Saw a few B5 in the bamboo though.

i think u should tell me exactly where u saw those, because the last time i checked the bamboo i went to every single place there and got none. i only ended up there following up an add in the classifieds, and even the place that placed the add didn't have any more!

i ended up buyin one from chuna's in felicity that wasn't good (Broken piston)...was feling hopeless

can the zl's hook up to the tranny from the B6?

there was a b5 by sarransinghs daiz by grandbazaar.
When i took of the oil cap and looked the cams were mucky
Honestly bro a zlde or zlve is a better buy a bit newer and you getting a fullconnversion for around 7k.
It should be bolt for bolt as well.
I think you should be able to use back ur axles.
As for using the b5 tranny on a newer engine I am not sure, you might need to wire in two ecus the old one for the tranny and the new one for the engine. An electrician should be able to do it
If was gearbox you would have no issues.

yup it is great engine but this one is better:-

KLZE: Japan spec 10.0 comp with a 7k redline
199 hp (149 kW) and 165 ft·lbf (224 Nm)

Will bolt in a bj 323 normal, should be able to use sp20 axles and you inna game. The klze will leave out a sr20vvl on both low end and top end.. It has the fyaaz of fyaaz N/A... no lag

One engine I forgot to include is the FE 2.2, that has very very strong internals. Reports are that it can take up to 600hp without going in the engine. The newer MZR engine that comes in the Mazda3 and Mazdaspeed3 is based on this engine head and block. This is rarer than a 18 year old virgin. If you find one buy it and hide it under yuh bed and hug it every night....

FE DOHC 2.2
hp 145-170ps
tq 133-150 lb/ft

http://www.6crew.com/forum/showthread.p ... OD-READ%29
Doing some research on a couple random things and came across some good info posted about our engine family. this is not from me, just figured id post it for you guys to read.


************************************************** ************************************************** ***********

It was agreed many years ago, that Mazda would drop their (class leading) K-series V6, hand over the engineering to Ford and Ford would continue to develop 60 degree aluminum V6's as their Duratec V6, which Mazda would have later access to to cast, build and modify to their liking. In exchange, Mazda would be responsible for the entire development of the "new four cylinder engines". This is the deal according to Ford. Mazda would be developing a new 4 cylinder engine, regardless. Selling the K-engine out, made and saved them some money. The company has always had some of the best engineering in Japan, but sadly most of it falls short of production (including V8 and V12 engines). Ford always knew this, which is why they hooked up with the company since the 70s.

"MZR" is just a brand name, just like 'Duratec' (and EcoBoost for that matter). It means nothing. The Mazda L-engine is the engine family in question, and is all 100% Mazda engineering. The L-engine, is part of the MZR series (which is a brand name for a generation of engines, including the smaller Z-engines as well). The L-engines range in size from 1.8L to 2.5L.


Quick primer on understanding engine codes (useful for the rest of the post):As mentioned before, MZR and Duratec are brand names, for a generation of engines. They in no way specify an engine, or even an engine family. The 1.8L to 2.5L MZR's we know so much are of the L-family of engines.

L8 is the 1.8L engine code. "P" and "8" have always been used to represent an "8" in a Mazda 1.8L engine ie. (BP 1.8L, F8 1.8L, FP 1.8L, K8 1.8L V6).

LF is the 2.0L engine code. L is a family letter, and F is the displacement varient. F in this case is in reference to the 2.0L FE, which this engine was designed off of. 2.0L (E also used to represent an even liter displacement ie. JE for 3.0L J-family V6, no longer used).

L3 is the 2.3L engine code. 3 and J have been used to represent x.3L engines (ie. KJ 2.3L V6, B3 1.3L etc)

L5 is the 2.5L engine code. 5 and L have been used to represent x.5L engines (ie. J5 2.5L V6, KL 2.5L V6)


The suffix describes the engine configuration/features
L3-DE would be the 2.3L as used in the Ford Ranger.
L3-VDT would be the 2.3L DISI turbo

The first suffix position may be either:
D= Domestic DOHC or
Z= High Tuned DOHC
V= VVT DOHC or
C= Common Rail Diesel

Second place suffix position may be either:
E=EFI
D=Direct Injection

Third place suffix position is optional:
T= turbo
M= Miller Cycle


So the 2.3L Supercharged Miller Cycle V6 would have a KJ-ZEM engine code.

2.3L DISI Turbo engine would have L3-VDT code.

2.2L MZR-CD diesel would have R2-CDT code.

2.3L in Ford Ranger would have a L3-DE Mazda code.

2.3L VVT would have L3-VE code.

So here's the story:

L-engines (or all engines of the same family) are all identical on the outside, more or less, with bolt bosses, head patterns and bell patterns being identical between them ALL (same block, diff internal machining for disp). L-engine is an evolution of the Mazda F-engine (circa 1983-1998) which ranged in size from 1.6L to 2.2L). In fact, the old iron F-engine block is still being used to this day as Mazda's diesel R-engine (2.2L sharing the exact same bore/stroke/rod length as the F2 2.2L, same block).

Yes, the same block has been doing double duty as petrol F- and diesel R- since 1983! tig1, if you read this, that means that your old 2.0L Diesel Tempo's engine block is still in production today! And was the basis for the L-engine/Duratec 4cyl!


The R-engine "MZR-CD" 2.2L is one of the best 4 cylinder diesels currently on the market. Even the Germans know this (VW admitted it somewhere). But back on topic though, the ubiquitous L3-VE/VDT/DE 2.3L carries the exact same stroke length of the old F2 2.2L, nearly identical bore spacing, and an almost identical rod length (yeilding nearly identical rod ratio, one the highest in it's class @1.64~).

Changes and inevitable updates from the old F-engine to new L-engine include:*all aluminum block construction vs cast iron
*1 piece main bearing cage vs caps with girdles and braceplate
*reversed intake/exhaust flow config, as has become industry standard
*belt to chain driven cams (after going from chain to belt during the belt fad of the 80s)
*no more SOHC. The DOHC heads combine engineering from the Mazda KL V6 DOHC heads (27degree valve angle), and the older DOHC FE3 2.0L engine (or B-engine DOHC heads which are just mini versions)
*VVT system identical to S-VT ZL 1.5L) All heads use flat bucket tappets.
*chain driven oil pump (instead of direct crank driven oil pump mounted to crank snout)
*weight reduction of recip. mass
-3mm smaller rod journal diam. over the old overbuilt F-engine, however 2.3L DISI turbo and 2.5L n/a engines retain original rod journal size of F-engine
-much shorter piston compression height (down -5mm!), semi skirted race style pistons, much skinnier rods (the old F-engine rods were good for well over 4 times their original HP, but were needlessly heavy for regular use)
-crank gear driven twin balance shafts for 2.3L and 2.5L
-plastic intake manifolds with continued use of VICS, adding VTCS; weight reduction

Note: you'll find manh of these are common changes between many manufacturers like Toyota from their S-engine to their AZ-engine for example.

The engine is offered in different configurations for a needed displacement. Before the 2.5L L5-VE engine, there were only 2 cranks used on L-engine, now there are three.

L-engine crank and bore combinations:83mm stroke (for 2.0 & 1.8L - replaces 77mm crank from F-engine)
94mm stroke (unchanged from 2.2L F-engine)
100mm stroke (new for 2.5L L5)

Standard bore for the L-engine is now 87.5mm, instead of 86mm from F-engine. For the smallest 1.8L, the same 83mm crank as the 2.0L is used, but bore reduced to 83mm as well (square 83x83mm). The 1.8L "MZR" is used overseas for Mazda6, 3 and Ford "Duratec HE".

For comparison, the F-engine had 3 cranks, and 2 bore sizes 86mm being standard bore, however the smaller bore size (83mm) was the rarest:
77mm stroke (86x77mm for 1.8L, 83x77mm for the rare 1.6L)
86mm stroke (86x86mm FE 2.0 was square )
94mm stroke (used for 2.2L F2 and carried over to the L-engine)

So now with a little bit of history, in the early 2000's it was published that Ford had indeed trusted Mazda for a new global 4cylinder for Ford to use. (Mazda's own engines have always been their "global" engine, so no need to change anything on their end). Ford attempted a DOHC 4 cylinder with their ZETEC, being loosely based on Mazda's 1.8L BP, but that engine was short lived. The F-engine was produced from 1983 to the mid-late 90's, where Mazda replaced it with an odd FS/FP 2.0L/1.8L for the Protege generation (was more like a stretched out BP, than close to anything of the real F-engine family). That engine was produced for about ~5yrs, before they went back to a large bore spacing engine like the L- & F-.

"But there are parts on the Mazda and Ford engines that says FoMoCo on it, so you're lying"

Indeed there are, but I'm not even close to lying. This is where the OEM agreements take place. Mazda accepted Ford's offer of helping them save some money on the bread and butter parts like plugs, throttle bodies, dipsticks- you know the [censored] little costs on the little knick knack details. Ford offered these everso discreetly labelled items, you know, as part of an exchange for being able to cast a Mazda engine and use it in over half of their entire lineup. That seems a little more than fair. But, Ford also knows the psychology value in that as well. But I digress.


Now, I realise this is far more info than anyone could have cared for, but I think the story is very good start to at least know the heritage. There is far too much speculation and rough estimates out there, even from journalists in internetsworld that people are stating as fact.

Nick, you've got a good engine. If you have a sensor sticking out of the valve cover on the chain side, you've for VVT. Oh, and you've got nothing to worry about!


--- I would also add Ford opted to drop the Mazda's VVT in favor of there own to be released later (when?) varible valve timming.
-- also mazda use 3wire coil on plug (ignitors built in? I hope) compared to 2wire COP's (seperate ignitor needed).

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

The new Ford Duratec 2.3L (23E) engine generates 144 horsepower - 10 percent more than today's 2.0-liter Zetec engine - with SULEV emissions. It is due to be upgraded with even more power to 150 horsepower for the 2005 model year, but will lose the PZEV emissions equipment. The PZEV engine will be downsize to a 2.0L displacement.

The new engine is standard equipment in five states and will be available in all the other states, but is reported not to be available in Canada.

Clean, fuel-efficient engine is a product of Ford's "revolution under the hood" that will see more than 1.5 million engines built around the globe from the same in-line four-cylinder (I-4) architecture.


Ford's new Duratec 23E engine, first introduced in the 2003œ Ford Focus PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) in California, New York and Massachusetts and now available nationwide, is both powerful - producing 151 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and 154 pounds-feet of torque at 4,250 rpm - and exceptionally clean.The engine helps Focus meet California's Super Ultra-low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV) standard, which allows vehicles to emit only one pound of smog-forming pollution over 15,000 miles of driving. That's good enough to earn the car a perfect "10" on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Guide to Green Cars. The car also has zero fuel system evaporative emissions. EPA estimated fuel economy is 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway with the standard five-speed manual transmission and 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway with the optional four-speed automatic.

"The Focus PZEV and the Duratec 23E are technological breakthroughs that deliver real-world environmental benefits without asking consumers to make a single compromise in performance, driving range, refinement or practicality," said John Sidelko, Focus chief engineer.All 2.3-liter Focus models in 2004 are identical to the Focus PZEV. They share the same emissions hardware, fuel system components and powertrain calibration. However, the emissions are slightly less clean outside of California because of that state's unique fuel formulations.

Power, Refinement and Low EmissionsThe new engine achieves its impressive level of performance, refinement and low emissions through careful design of the engine block and cylinder heads, air and fuel intake systems, powertrain controls, combustion chambers and exhaust system. The Duratec 23E cylinder block is a precision aluminum casting with a deep skirt that extends well below the crankshaft center line to improve bending stiffness. A separate cast aluminum alloy ladder frame carries the lower bearing shells. This casting is secured by 10 bolts, one on each side of the bearing. Dry, cast-iron cylinder bore liners are cast into the block. A structural ribbed aluminum oil plan and cast alloy front cover further stiffen the block and reduce noise transmission.The extensive use of aluminum components and direct mounting of accessories to the engine block helps to reduce the total installed weight of the engine by 40 pounds, or 12 percent, compared with the Ford 2.0-liter Zetec I-4 engine.

Cylinder Head and Valve Train
The dual overhead cam (DOHC), four-valve-per cylinder head design uses direct-acting mechanical bucket tappets and an aluminum alloy "high flow" cylinder head with press-fit valve seats that help to improve long-term sealing.Valves and tappets are individually graded for consistency. This assures that proper valve clearances are maintained over the engine's life. Lobes on the chain-driven camshafts are chilled during manufacture to harden them. These actions help eliminate the need for valve adjustments throughout a useful life of 150,000 miles. Each cam runs in five cam bearings, for smooth and quiet operation.Intake valve diameters are 35 millimeters, with 30-millimeter exhaust valves. They are mounted at an included angle of 29 degrees to each other in an asymmetric arrangement - the intake valves are 19 degrees from vertical and the exhaust valves are 10 degrees from vertical. This allows the spark plugs to be mounted near the center of the "pent roof" combustion chamber, a design that promotes circular flame propagation and improves fuel economy, especially under partial load.The camshafts run directly in the aluminum cylinder head and are driven by a "silent" chain for quieter operation. A spring arm maintains proper tension and a hydraulically-activated composite damper controls chain movement. The camshaft cover is made of cast aluminum alloy to contain valve train noise and assure warp-free sealing for life.In addition to designing a durable and quiet-running engine, engineers worked to make engine components as fuel-efficient and lightweight as possible. A good example of this is the new piston, ring and connecting rod assembly, which provides about 15 percent weight advantage compared with other modern engines. Other benefits include superior NVH, lower friction (or parasitic losses) and a free-revving engine characteristic.The electronic distributor-less coil-on-plug ignition system includes a cylinder knock-control system that continuously adapts the engine's operating parameters to optimize performance and economy.To enhance fuel efficiency, the engine uses 5W20 SAE (ILSAC GF-3) grade oil for reduced resistance to flow, and operates at a relatively low idle speed of 700 rpm. Maximum engine speed is 7,000 rpm.

New Intake and Exhaust Manifolds
The computer-designed intake manifold is a prime example of the attention to detail that went into the new engine. It is fully symmetrical, lightweight and made of friction-welded plastic to reduce flow friction and stay cooler than cast metal. This design allowed engineers to "sculpt" the sound of the 16-valve engines to be sporty yet refined.Within each of the manifold's four runners is a butterfly valve that restricts the air passage at low speed. This improves low-speed efficiency by inducing "tumble" or turbulence to accelerate the flow of the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chambers. At higher speeds, the butterfly valves open fully to meet the engine's requirement for more airflow.The intake system also features a new, solid-state temperature and pressure sensor, which makes more precise air mass calculations possible. These are constantly relayed to the electronic powertrain control module for efficient engine operation.The powertrain control module also controls a new electronic exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system that precisely meters the addition of burned exhaust gases to the intake charge. The extra mass of this inert gas in the intake charge acts as a heat sink to reduce combustion temperatures, which in turn helps reduce the engine's nitrogen oxide emissions.The rear-facing, four-into-one exhaust manifold is formed of tubular steel which heats up faster than a conventional cast-iron unit. The catalysts are mounted very close to the manifold, so they heat to operating temperature quickly to reduce cold-start emissions. The catalysts themselves are a high density design that has more surface area than conventional designs to help reduce tailpipe emissions.

Fuel System
A new four-hole fuel injector design delivers a highly atomized-spray pattern directly toward the twin inlet ports of each cylinder for more spray penetration, better atomization and less cylinder wall wetting than a single-hole injector. This in turn translates into good drivability and lower emissions. Sequential electronic fuel injection control injects precisely measured quantities of fuel into each cylinder individually at the optimum point in each combustion cycle.To help eliminate evaporative emissions, engineers designed a unique air intake system that includes a carbon trap to collect vapors from any residual fuel left in the intake manifold at engine shut off. Other features that help eliminate evaporative emissions are a stainless steel tank, along with upgraded stainless steel fuel lines and connectors.

Wide Range of Engines and Applications
The new Duratec I-4 family is built around a highly flexible architecture that can meet a wide range of vehicle needs around the world. More than 100 variations are possible, including designs optimized for fuel economy, low emissions, sporty performance or torque.Ford eventually expects to build more than 1.5 million of these engines annually in displacements of 1.8- 2.0- and 2.3-liters in various vehicles. This would account for 20 percent of Ford's annual world-wide production of 7 million engines."There's a revolution going on under the hood at Ford," said Dave Szczupak, vice president, Powertrain Operations, Ford Motor Company. "We are introducing an unprecedented number of new powertrains between now and the end of the decade. The things we are doing today will assure that we continue to deliver great powertrains and great vehicles to our customers well into the future. "The new engine family also is leading the way in modern, cost-efficient manufacturing. Four plants on three continents will build Duratec I-4s, and all will benefit from the efficiencies and quality improvements offered by flexible manufacturing techniques.

Looking for an Alternator for a 2006 Mazda Axela 3 sedan. Having real problems finding one. NEED HELP!
The tag on the alternator shows a very small drawing of the electrical socket with P and D written in it.

The tag also has:
Z J 10 B and
A3TG2881A
12V 90A 6627

written on it. The tag is located just above the socket on the alternator.

The socket has TWO (2) pins
and the alternator has a clutch pulley

Please call me at 687-4976 if you have any info.

Mazda 323LX B3 engine parts and tranny

Postby JahSoldi3r » October 4th, 2013, 2:42 pm

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=532769

I have Complete B3 engine and transmission for MAzda 323 LX minus one broken piston, scrapped down to the tooth! Any part you need, just make an offer, i have PICs up too...

Extra Torque Converter(slightly larger, i believe one fits the B3 and the other fits the B5 B6 engines, the Flex Plate fits the B3 [tho it should worj in both])

AFter breaking the piston i bought a complete engine and transmission, but decided to hang on to my old transmission, compressor and power steering pump.

Everything else is for sale, 100% Working!!!

Make an Offer if you see somn you like!
