just to clarify the bp swap

[competitiveaudioman]

I've read the stickys and FAQs and just wanted to clarify the bp swap. i have the 1.6 right now and its a 5 speed. my car is a 92. is this really a bolt in swap and will my stock trans bolt right up? i am a Honda guy at heart and this is the first Mazda Ive had. is it worth swapping or can you make the 1.6 pretty quick? sorry if I'm asking dumb questions but like i said i am lost when it comes to these cars lol. also where is the best place to order this engine? Ive used tigarjapanese.com before but is this a reputable site?

at least u read..

is this really a bolt in swap and will my stock trans bolt right up?

Yes and yes

is it worth swapping or can you make the 1.6 pretty quick

Yes and No it will cost to much to make a 1.6 sohc fast. (I know im still working on my other MX-3)

i am a Honda guy at heart and this is the first Mazda Ive had

thats so sad u went to the drakside im guessing u finally saw the light im joking with u.

also where is the best place to order this engine? Ive used tigarjapanese.com before but is this a reputable site

for me its the junkyard other have different opinions and for my last answer never heard of that site so i can't help u there..

mines is a 92 did the BP swap then i turbocharged it.

enjoy ur MX-3

92-94 mazda protege read the 4cly faq. too list of cars to find a BP

BP

make sure the ecu and harness is from a protege LX

ecu and harness

why a harness no need to splice and cut just plug and play

tip for anybody in the ontario, durham region.

my old mx-3 is sitting in the south oshawa wreckers. Red with rear end damage.

it has ->
-BP swap 120,000km on the engine (I got it used)
-BP ecu
-modified harness
-eibach lower springs
-nice rear shocks in the back (don't remember km)
-dash is in really good shape.

just a tip......


take pictures if you find it......
