you can take it off with the motor still in. you may need to block the engine and take off the bottom cross memeber, but that should be it.

So the ports on the B6D are actually larger than the 2.0 FS? That doesn't make sense.... Anyone know about fitment on a BP motor?

Sounds cool... I did this with my KL-ZE (here: http://forums.probetalk.com/showthread.php?t=1701149489 )

It was fun. Now I'm looking at doing what you are. Except I'll be going all motor for simplicty.

Yeah I'd say check your clutches. Also have someone look at the slave cylinder and see if it's pushing the clutch fork onto the pressure plate.

First thing I'd do is check the fluid. Make sure it's full and not black or dark brown. It should be red. If it's low drain it and re-fill it.

So no one has ever converted there 3 over to a manual rack? I guess I'll have to look into it. I've done a bit of dynoing on some Honda's and found they gain an average of 5 peak hp. That's more than a full exhaust would likely give you (on a stock motor). I'll check clubprotege.com if no one else k...

Anyone want to take a stab at this one?

I have a '94 RS and would like to take out the PS (accident destroyed it) and put in a manual rack. Did they make MX-3's with manual racks? What would I need, 323, Protege, Escort??? I was told of a different caster on the non power assisted.

It's an external coil that replaces the internal coil found in you distributor. It would have to be wired in. It gives a "cleaner" more intense spark.

I'm assuming that it's from a Protege? It should physically fit, BUT you have to remember that engine is from an OBD-II vehicle and may have different sensors.

Thanks for the replies. I will have as much dyno time as I need since I have some in's at school (Mustang Import Dyno). I've ran that machine through 100-120 pulls last year. sk8erdude - Thanks for some valuable swap info... Shades - Thanks for the link... BUGS - Flyin' Miata has some nice stuff for...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I had a hunch that may be it. I had no idea that it would actually beep at you for that. Kinda smart though... it keeps dumb people from tossing in fake airbags / cheap steering wheels after an accident!

My 3's fan blower only works on position 4. It won't switch over to vent, floor, so forth... Also the AC light only comes on when the fan is on 1-3 (and not working).

Any rememdies?

I'm not exactly new to the B-Series engines. Although I just bought my first MX-3 I've owned a Festiva (B3 engine) for 5 years and thought about many swaps. Which leads me to this one. :D OK... I'm looking for internal stuff right now. I've decided to run off the OEM ECU (I'm looking into chip burni...
