Nice work. I imagine no one will else give you props for this though, given they will liekly never touch a wiring harness. Good stuff though.

This is actually normal but you wont see it being built up in a stock application. The muffler does not exit far enough past the bumper and the gasses are allowed to pass close enough to the bumper to cause depostits, extend your exsaut another inch or thre eand it will fix the problem, or just clea...

The GS also have a few suspension bits worth using though. My BP when i first got it had about 180k miles on it, and it took abuse and ran fine up to the point i sold it. I can not tell you how many trips down the drag strip and how long it spend on thetopside of the rpm band, but lets just say it t...

How many kilometers would 10mpg be?

16.1


The DOHC really is a lean burn motor though, something has to be out of whack for you to get that low of milage. What all reguluar maintecene items have been done in the last 50k KM or so.

Maybe 3-4 assuming the injectors dont cost your more power than that.

How much throttle are hyou using and where are yhou shifting at? The lowest i had gotten out of my BP was around 10 (miles per gallon) and its hard to get that.

Have you tried running a diffrent gasoline brand as well?

Um. It sounds more like your retarding the timing..

Head is diffrent, Cams are diffrent, manfiolds are diffrent but the exsuast manifold is transferable, the b6ze has a higher compression ratio )the b, and from what i understand both of them have significantly strong internals.

If you do the work itself its farily cheap. If you have to have someone do it for you then its going to cost you a lot. A BPT can easily cost you 2500 to swap it in. My protege BP swap cost around 900 (750$ for the motor/trans/ecu I got a good deal on a front end clip though, and then the rest on as...

I do not know where you got the impression that its too much work, but its easy to do in one weekend over a few cases of beer. It might seem overwelming given the research invovled but, for the money going into it and the work required its hard to beat a BP swap for what you get. What was it that ma...

The last time i needed to drain a gas tank I hooked power stragiht to the fuel pump so it would run without having to have the car on. I also ran a hose from the pump to a gas can(or if you have enough length just to another cars gas tank) and let it run till it was empty.

Hey Thanks for the comment.. The escort does have airbags .. well it did ,, they were deployed in the accident .. i'm not sure if this will affect anything? but what would be the difference if the car had airbags or not? No it just means your ECU will be aware there is an airbag system and not thro...

Damn you really have it made. Your older Mx-3 if usable would actually be Ideal, there is an issue or two going from a car with airbags to one without. Unless your EGT has them, then ignore that comment. The biggest thing is just getting the parts together, but you should have everything you need to...

For 90-94 BP swap into B6DE you will need -BP engine -BP MAF -BP wiring harness -BP ECU If you go with the protege tranny you will probably need -BP axles -BP hubs -MX-6 Speedo If you keep your tranny you may not need that stuff but you have to drive very carefully i guess. Also the dash wiring mig...

The OBDII version of a BP that you will find is of a diffrent tune though. If I recall right its missing a few of the things that help give the BP in the 91-94 its broad power curve, such as VICS and a Hemlotz device. If your that worried about the sensor readings you can buy an OBD-I motor and make...
