Suggested Engine Swap

[94MX3]

I just recently bought a 94' Mx-3 1.6 DOHC and I was wondering what a good engine swap would be. I also need aprox prices I am in Mckinney Tx so if you know anywhere around here plz tell me<P>Daniel Jones<BR>94' MX-3<BR>DOHC

there are two main swaps....the b6t and the bpt. look in the post about the bpt swap...it will give you a rundown on the bpt prices. do a search on the b6t and you will find a post from snyper007 with all the b6t prices. hope this helps.

Ok what would be the best swap and what exactly are the swaps

[OsoSlo z28]

ok....a brief rundown....<BR>the bpt(which is the one i'm doing in about a month) is from a j-spec 90-94 323 gtx. it's a 1.8L 4cyl turbo.<P>the b6t is from a late 80's 323 gtx.(n. american and j-spec) it's a 1.6L 4cyl tubo.<P>the bpt runs around 185hp stock and the b6t runs around 132hp stock<P>which one is the best is up to you. how serious are you about the swap and what gains do you expect? with the bpt, expect to get a different tranny, clutch, flywheel, and driveshafts along with the motor.....

OK What will they have to do to the body of my car or will it all stay in the engine

[OsoSlo z28]

i'm not sure if i understand your ques. but i'll try to answer. nothing needs to be done to your car except install the motor. if you get the b6t though, you need to cut a hole in your hood(use a hood scoop) for the intake manifold to fit. if you get a front mount i/c, then you might need to shave some of the inside of the bumper...

b6t..bpt..doesnt kl-ze able to swap on a 1.6 too?

[OsoSlo z28]

you can swap anything,but the amount of time, money and resources to swap in a v6 into the 4cyl model isn't worth it in my opinion

[92mx-3rs]

wow that was pretty fast! well thanks for the info..that question really bugged me, i tried searchin for it through the past posts but couldnt find it.
