damn 73 in second? not bad... i'm guessing its not as strong though?

so if I put a tranny of a regular 1.8 sohc Protege, I'm putting on the exact same tranny I have on my car now?

Ok, my tranny is gone, gonna go ahead and swap it out (why wait)... I keep reading that when changing to the BP or BPT, you need a protege lx tranny... is there a difference between a regular protege's tranny and an lx's tranny? I know nothing about protege's so i must ask....

thanks

Hey I think my tranny just went out on me.... I wanna do a BPT swap, but dont have the money. It would make no sense to get a tranny for my 1.6 SOHC now, and then change it again when I change the engine.... would the protege tranny bolt up to my engine? I heard the BPT will bolt to my tranny so it ...

ok that sounds good to me (<--- not much starting cash) thanks a lot guys


by the way.... anyone have a good BP for sale?

I know that obviously the BPT has more power than the BP stock. But what I want to know is, what are the differences between the two? Does the BPT have a lower CR? Will it be a good idea to get a BP and turbo it? or just use the BPT? I'm trying to decide whether i should get a BP now, and maybe put ...

will do first thing in the morning

I read on a post that removing the water line going through the TB will increase your power a bit. I wanted to know if this will have any negetive affects or anything will need to be adjusted, or if it was just a simple mod. Thanks

www.gude.com Their reprofiled cam is $295 with a $138 core charge if you dont have one to send in to them. And its made for your car. Not sure if the VTEC cam (HONDA) will fit your Mazda.

"There are different types of Mass Air FLow sensors. The vane air flow meter and the Karmen vortex are two older styles of air flow sensors and they can be identified by their shape. The newer, and more common is the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. Mass Air FLow Sensor: Hot Wire Type The primary co...

differences between MAF and VAF

I think if everyone would look through this link, there would be a LOT less confussion about this topic.

Originally posted by MX3-Freak: I was under the impression that the rx-7 used a MAF, not a VAF?? :confused2: The second generation RX-7 (Turbo and Non-Turbo) uses a VAF similar to the one on the 92 and 93 Mx-3 and Miatas. If you want, look for yourself 2nd Gen Rx-7 (Turbo) Air flow meter
