MazdaX3speed-95 1.8l BPT
Everything looks hott bro! I can't wait to mine is in. The motor is going to the machine shop on monday since she's been sitting outside under a tent. I had a question or 2, sorry if I'm buggin but I just want to make sure on things.. Will the plugs on the mx3 wiring harness work on the BPT ECU? or is the BPT wiring harness a must have? Also I see in the other threads they use the protege's tranny instead of the Mx3's. Is it bad to use the mx3 tranny? Thank's for your help man!

i assume you have a 94+ DOHC?
if so to my knowledge, you cannot (all relatively speaking anything is possible) use a DOHC harness for the ?BPT ecu, i used a BPT harness, came with my motor, but i think you can get a SOHC harness or possibly a protege harness and it will be easier, even so there are a few wires under the dash that need to be changed (9 or so?), ill look for my charts and post um before you get to that point
the tranny thing i thought was only for SOHC motors, but im not positive, i recomend a Gseries tranny (protege escort kia) they are suposed to be much stronger, and all tho i didnt drive mine around to long (2months) until my turbo blew, i have an unsprug 6puck clutch and gave it hell, and it held up just fine....but i realize thats more money and thats not always an option, but i dont know if you have a DOHC

Yea man I got a 1994 DOHC.. Right now I'm looking for a wiring harness or atleast the plugs for that computer. It's hard finding the BPT Wiring harness around here and at this rate Im affraid I would have to get a stand alone... So you think the protoge's wiring harness will work? When you said SOHC, did you mean from the mx3? ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

yeah by SOHC i ment the mx3, i dunno about the protege harnesses, i assume it should, but will be missing certain things since its the nonturbo harness, (knocksensor and others) but i would think you could make it work
Cy, im not sure what that graphs is of or what exactly your talking about changing colors?...i feel like i missed somthing

SRy....my post was in response to
If some idiot put a fingerprint on your header before it was originally run...then you Can buff it out and let it Re-temper...
If you polish the header it will take the color out because it's only a surface reaction between the air and the metal...mazdax3speed wrote:thanks, i tried that 'auto copy' feature on photobucket, i guess thats why they didnt work
btw turbo is clocked now (snap rings blow!) and like i said waste gate was welded and mounted, so manifold looks much better now, i can use mothers mag polish on the manifold right??

i aint dead yet!
i know its been a while, baisically the old setup in all the pictures has been scrapped for the mostpart because the turbo now has more shaftplay then a toothpick in a coffie mug. the new stuff added to what was there is as follows
:
Garrett gt28r
Apexi avc-r
RC 550cc injectors
walbro 255 FP
and stainless coolant and oil lies
i now have all the peices i need to put it together, so once i get some time on the weekends where i can come back from school ill be finishin it up shortly
Goal: 250whp
i know i work slow but what can i say, im a....semi busy man

I like that color on the mx-3! Are those Acura Integra wheels painted black?

aside from the wheels i also got a new front mount, 3.25 in thick and a inch and a half shorter so it wont stick down so far, its still XSpower ebay crap, but its much nicer quality than my old one. if i can only find a GS lip it would look fine. im currently looking for a new manifold, i want to go rams horn style, i dunno maybe ill buy and flip a miata.
