New to Mazda
Hi my names Taylor and I'm new to the forum and Mazda. I'm a Honda girl at heart and don't really know anything about mazda. What are the options as far as engine swaps? I see all the BP posts but I'm not really sure what the BP is. And is that the only option engine wise? Sorry to sound like a noob...give me a B-18A v-tech anyday lol I'm just starting this new "project car" so any ideas or suggestions are 100% welcome!

way to break her in Papa...
The BP is a 1.8l DOHC 4cyl engine similar to the Honda B18A engine (The Non VTEC Integra LS/RS/GS motor).
Myself and numerous others (Typhoonk, Atlantamx3, etc...) have swapped in this motor and should be able to answer an questions you may have about it or the swap.
I previously had a B6T <1.6l DOHC 4cyl turbo> swapped in, so I can answer questions about that as well. Nos92mx3, jwmotorsports and a few others are currently running this swap.
Franko, mx3tt, marlon, and jaydog are the guys you want to talk to about the BPT <1.8l DOHC 4cyl turbo>.
However, unlike the B-series honda motors, the 1.6l and 1.8l Mazda motors have very few parts that swap. IE a header for a 1.6l wont fit on the 1.8l. reason being is the BP is physically 22mm longer than the 1.6l. however, there are a few internal parts that will interchange (rods, etc.)
Mazda's a tricky to extract power from, when you first start but in time you'll see they have great potential.
Good luck and welcome aboard. we are here to help...

The b6t is a fun little engine, there fairly easy to come by and can put a good amount of power to the ground with just some basic boltons.
Well the b6t puts out around 130hp/tq and the bp is around that area as well, i suggest reading the faq on both and then deciding.
Welcome to the bored .
Winter sux i miss the boost.

hate Honda????
ROFLMAO...Not in a million years.I'm in my 3rd semester at Sinclair Community Collage in the Honda Pact Program. I respect other imports but I'll never forget my first love...Hopefully by next winter I'll be able to get the MX-3 together enough to be ready for an engine swap. But I'm going to buy a Del Sol or a CRX first so I can have another project lined up. Leaning more towards a Del Sol though. I'm not really into the civic scene..they're ok but not me. I like the sporty 2 seaters.

I forgot to say, the thing I love most about the mx-3 compared to a honda is that the group of modified ones is so small by comparison. If youre driving around in a modified honda, people will forget about what they just saw as soon as it goes out of their vision.. but in a mx-3 it stays with people.. thell be like "What was that? Did I hear a blow off valve?" Then you might see them somewhere and they will say to you "Hey youre the one who owns that pimped out mx-3 right?"
When I first got my car done last year and started driving it, I went on a fourm of guys just around here and there was like 3 or 4 posts started about me.. Everyones asking "who owns the turbocharged mx-3?" People wanted to know about it and everyone was coming up to me asking me questions. There are a few other guys here who have their integras or civics turboed.. Or have the jdm b18 in their crx or something and the funny thing is, no one really cares it seems. I just hear "Hey frank, Open that hood and let me see what you got under there." Its great.. Its nice to do something different.

Well... I like honda. I mean, they're decent cars for what they are... What I don't like is that about 90% of people who drive a honda think "I drive untouchable honda, get out of my way" then they do some ricer fly by and drive like maniacs... but maybe that's just here...
And I can't seem to get anyone to test my Mx-3 (whereas everyone wanted to race my Stanza.. haha) ... I don't think anyone really knows wth it is or what it has in it... lol. It's really fun to talk to my friends with their integras, civics, crx's etc and they all go "Is that mx-3 fast?" ^.^
Eventually it will be...
