Does the mercury capri 1.6l turbo motor swap into the mx-3? i was told it does just wondering if its true or not if so how hard it is

Yes.. its the same engine as what comes in the 94+ RS model. Just with a turbo. You will have to run the Capri ECU and MIGHT have to change the engine bay wiring harness (dunno if the sensors are different offhand) but its pretty much a bolt in. Wiring is the only main question.

hey tunes i looked up on this, the 1.6l in the capri looks more similar to the bp then the b6. it uses a trap door maf, the valve cover looks like a bp cover, external coil and the distributor looks like it has coil packs. but all this is just from a couple cars i saw on ebay and some other places. so it really is a drop in for a b6 turbo?

The B6T looks like a BP but its smaller. The motor mount is different too. I think the timing belt goes around the mount. Its about 3 inches shorter from left to right ( that is if you are looking at it while installed in car).

ahh awesome thanks for clearing that up. if ican find a capri near me ill try and snag that turbo off of it it.

You should snag the whole thing.Thats if you can. The rods are one of the heaviest besides the GTR BPD engine. They can handle up to 20 psi of boost on a regular basis. Plus it will have the turbo low compression pistons.

i would if i could. i live in a cali and the smogs are pretty strict. my buddy couldnt get his bp swap smogged and cost him a bunch of money. i might just snag the rods and use some noss.

They should pass smog. They were released in the US, might want to lean it out some when you do the test. Plus a good cat helps.

wow i miss typed on that one, sorry about that. my computer messed up and thought i typed the whole thing in. thanks for the heads up when i type something wrong again.

Cyclonekid: well when i got my car smoged, he followed the diagram on the hood. my buddy said he brung it in, went to check the base timing and then checked his vacuum diagram and sent him out. egr was in a different place, and didnt match the diagram.
