he said the mx-6 wire harness. I would think he may be speaking of the mx-6 harness. But correct me if I am wrong , if he has a mx-6 engine and a mx-6 harness, shouldn't everything just plug right in...
aside from the interior harness

I’m doing a similar swap @the moment .. I’m putting a KLDE (MX6 motor) in to a V6 astina (kfze) I was hoping to use the loom from the KFZE but the MAF wiring is proving to be a problem for me.. what did you end up doing?

OK well that is exactly what I wanted to do but
I have run into problems .. as you probably know the airflow meter on the KFZE AND KLDE are different .. the kf is a Mass Air Flowmeter one is a Volume Air Flowmeter .
And is wired up quite differently to each other..
I do have both sets of wiring diagrams for the mx6 and the 323 respectfully.. but I can’t make heads or tails of them . .I can’t match any of the colors from the diagram to the location of virtually any of the wires in the loom.. .
I’m now looking @ getting my hands on a loom from a MX6..
I’m going to fit it in on Saturday so I don’t want to waste any more time on it…
But good luck with your swap out..

Well my issue now is hooking up all the dash instruments ..
But that shouldn’t be all that hard. .but now im wondering if I can just get the kfze ecu chip reburnt to the klde specs.. would save a lot of hassle…

You are looking @ putting a KLZE into a MX6 that has a KFZE. .well ill tell you what I know from my experience so far.. the loom in the astina KF is not the same as the loom in the MX6. Can you tell me what does the air flow meter look like ?.. and what ecu you have ..







Depending on what you have in the car ill tell you what I recon you shold use..
