confusion :S

[disturbed321]

K can some of you guys please put it in simple forms. what is the difference between the BPT and B6T? which one is faster? <BR>thanx alot

[qik_30x]

well a B6T is a 1.6L turbo (130HP?) and the BPT is a 1.8L turbo(180HP?) and a BPD is a Japspec 1.8L turbo (235HP?) found in the mazda 323 GTR.<P>Im not too sure if i got the HP ratings corect....im tired...<P>steve<p>[ May 17, 2002: Message edited by: qik_30x ]

the b6t is rated between 130-150hp depending on what spec. you get.(j-spec=150hp) most people get the n.american version. the bpt is rated at 180 or 210 depending on if it's the gtx or gtr. it's next to impossible to find a gtr motor. and once you do, getting it here isn't worth the hassle. i found one but by the time i bought it and got it shipped here from aust. it would have been cheaper to get the motor i have now(gtx bpt) and add things to make it superior to the gtr. i have yet to see any north american engine importers with a gtr motor.

so which one has more potential? I have lots of money to sink into an mx-3 right now, and I was looking at V6's but I seen the guy with 450 and thought aww hell why don't I try to get that much, but 300 would be lots [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

[Stevech_2001]

the bpt has more potential but the b6t has some as well because they are both turbo charged they have lot's of potential

[disturbed321]

thanks for all the help guys its very appreciated. One mroe question..eh heh. What are the differences between the gtx & gtr. Is one better than the other?

[OsoSlo z28]

the gt-r has sodium filled exhaust valves, equal length exhaust manifold, ball bearing turbo, two-step fuel pressure reg, i believe a slightly higher cr...not much though. the only real advantage is the ball bearing turbo.(which you can get the manifold and turbo upgrade from corksport)<p>[ May 18, 2002: Message edited by: cre8v mx3 ]

[OsoSlo z28]

yes, the bpd was the n/a 1.8 found in the protege and escort.

yes, i've seen that site quite a few times. there are a couple of sites that i've seen that have conflicting designations as to what motor is what.
