look around in this forum and you should be able to find some stuff. I think the B6T is the most common swap b/c theres less involved (1.6L DOHC turbo around 150hp (j-spec). <BR>the GTX and GTR motor are 1.8L turbo motors that require a different tranny. But these motors are beasts so personally i think its worth the hassle.<BR>all the 3 motors can take beatings and high boost levels. but like i said look around in this forum and the Forced Induction forum and u'll find somethin.
B6T powered MX-3 - sold
Stage 3ish 03 WRX - sold
03 S2000 - current/ for sale

first you need to set goals. to what extent are you willing to do a swap? for example: with the b6t, you have to cut a hole in your hood to fit the intake manifold. with the bpt, it's suggested to get a tranny from the pro lx. there's pro's and cons to each swap. it all comes down to preference...do you want a 1.6 or a 1.8. if you're serious about hp, the 1.8 will hold more in the long run. just set goals, then figure out where to go from there.

Thanks, you beat me too it. There is more to it than just cutting the hood. Join the 323GTX egroup,lots of info there. Do a few searches, I think everything has been discussed at one point in time.
