My BP I bought off a JDM. Engine store. Cost me about $900.
The only thing about the jdm version is that the intake manifold the TPS are a hassle to find so I pulled one from an Escort GT. Now you willl also need the distributor from a 1st gen BP. Other than that u need to run VICS either by using the bp fuel rail harness or what I did and that is run a wire straight to the ecu.
Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
