Okay, I drive a 93 MX-3 with the 1.6L SOHC, ATX. I had plans for upgrading it to a BP at the end of the year but my head gasket just blew and if I have to gut the engine that far down anyway, I am going to upgrade now. I have read some of the FAQs and have started assembling some of the parts as follows:
1.8L DOHC from a 94 Protege
BPB2 ECU from a 93 Protege
Misc braided hoses, belts, and gaskets.
I had thought about doing the MTX upgrade while I had the engine out but I just cannot afford it at the moment.
I have found very little in reference to what ECU I should be using, but the BPB2 comes from an ATX car with the same engine as what I purchased.
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions before I begin?
Also, if I chose to upgrade to turbo later, is this difficult on this engine?
