Ill check it out first thing tomorow I hope your right.

Yeah your right an escort gt is pretty much a mazda protege LX with a different body. Im thinking if you remove your AC compressor and power steering thats a big strain taken off the crankshaft. thats two less pullys it has to move... Maybe thats like 1/2 a hp gain I really dont know, All that matte...

Yeah everything works, its weird to me how the escort computer knows what to do with all the mazda lights and cooling fans and all other accesories lol. but its just plug and play with this swap. just the dam defrost is giving me trouble. oh and the escort gt only has one fan and the mx3 has 2 fans ...

It actually ran without the wire swap but it ran crappy. but yea its just that one wire. its hard to get to but its easy. The wires are located right under the ECU behind where the stereo goes. Just remember the B/Y needs to be connected to the B/white wire. I just taped em together and it worked fi...

you guys my situation just totally changed, I finally got to look under the car and its not the tranny that blew up. it seems that the halfshaft took a $#!T and left a mess all over my engine bay... the shaft that goes in the tranny came out a lil bit but the oil seal on the tranny still seems ok. s...

hey mazda guy its pretty simple with the wiring splicing, at first i thought it was rocket science lol but just connect the black and yellow wire from the escort gt harness to the black and white wire thats already on the mx3. My swap is from a 95 escort gt to a 95 mx3. It took me about 5 hours to d...

Ok my last question is can I use the escort gt clutch with the kia tranny or should i just buy the kia clutch at the junkyard?

do you think the input shaft is the same?? can i use the escort gt clutch and axles? same sensors?

My mx3 has a bp swap from an escort gt and the g series tranny broke. Has anyone here used a kia sephia tranny with an escort gt engine? Any info would help I tried searching it already. My local junkyards do not have anymore escort gts or proteges but there are a couple of 95-97 kia sephias.

so do you know what year 323 I need?

Hey I read on the suspension FAQ that you can put a 323 manual steering rack on my 95 RS MX3. I found out that Auto Zone (my local parts store) has a new remanufactured unit for $210 but it says it doesnt come with the mounting bushings. Are these bushings something my 95 MX3 steering rack already h...

Well my aftermarket stereo is wired correctly and it works and all, but I have those 2 extra wires and im wondering what theyre for.

Hi their I have a quick question. Does anyone know what the 2 red wires on the 12 pin connector on our stereos do?? On the manual it says one is TNS and the other is illumination - (negative) Heres a link to the page in the manual. Pins E and F can some one help me figure this out please. http://mx-...

Lol thanks I guess.. what do you think I should do with that electrical wire??


The only thing messed up on my MX3 right now is that my check engine light nevers turns on and my charging system light is always lit. Can someone help me with this I want to see if I have any codes.

The escort axles are doing great. no pulling or binding. the blue wire is a coat hanger I found in my car to block off that little vacuum port lol and those zip ties are on this electrical outlet wire thats hooked up to the middle of the block somewhere and im not sure whats its for so its just chil...
