626 2.0L Turbo Engine in a MX-3?

[Joe Carlson]

Hey, i've recently obtained a 87 626 Turbo GT, with a 2.0L DOHC Turbocharged engine. I was wondering if anyone has tried to put this engine in a MX-3, or if it would be worth it. I got the car cheap, b/c of a bad fuel pump, so was just wondering, if it's possible to do such a conversion. My '92 MX-3 currently has a 1.6L SOHC 16v. Thanks for any input you guys have.-Joe

I think jason meant to say it cant easily be done. Its not worth it either way because the BP engines are better built and have alot more potential. Keep in mind that engine (turbo included) is 16 years old.

keep the 626 in one piece and have it as your daily driver/sleeper. there was one running around here for a little while that would scoot pretty good. that's my .02

ashley you changed your name! i was just gonna say talk to ashley for advice on this and then i recognized the sig!

it would take a lot of money. id say, make the 626 quick...keep it a sleeper!

mx-3...bp-t if you want to do a swap. i have read this through and through and, when i can get my hands on another mx-3 here i come!

Thanks for all the input guys, i've been reading up on the bp swap, and sounds like alot better deal and alot less of a hassle to get into. I haven't desided what i'm going to do with the 626 yet, i might fix it up to sell or, like you guys suggested to make it a sleeper. Thanks-Joe

can you just take a BP from a protege and just stick that in your car and if so what year?

i suggest a search on the bp. You can also get a bp from a escort gt and a mercury tracer lts(?), just do a search and youll find plenty of info.
