ok so in return to an earlyer subject that is related to trans. when you swap to a mtx from a atx in a dohc 1.6 mx3 there are questions on the TPS. so to answere, both the atx and the mtx mx3 engines use the same 4wire TPS. so, manual and automatic trans dohc 1.6 mx3 ecus use the same wire harness and sensors (including 4 wire TPS). i did the swap a while ago and have both computers. onto next subject.
so the g25mr on the excort gt bp engine bolts onto the mx3 1.6 but, the spline count is defferent. so can we swap the flywheel and clutch from the bp so the trans hooks in. plus the bp flywheel and clutch are bigger and better.
what i am building is a fresh rebuilt 1.6 dohc motor, turbo, arp rod bots, megasquirt, and some other small helpfull parts but nothing to spendy. shooting for 200 hp hoping the stock interternals will be ok with it and its not to much a g25mr will blow up. another quick question is, what is the part of the trans that everyone seems to blow up and can i buy something to beef it up a little.
this motor will prob only be in for 6 or seven months will i finish my zetec build. zetec 2.0 with full turbo set up and water intercooler, im getting oil squirters machined in, forged internals, knifed and cryod crank, lightened flywheel and race clutch, turbo cams on svt head ( no need to spend all that money on a ford racing head, the svt head is a great flowing head) and using the 6speed svt focus trans with custom axles (looking into changing gear ratios for turbo motor) all ran by megasquirt3. i have most of the parts as it stands, just have to start the build but i want to put the 1.6 in first so i have something to zip around in.
