Re: B6T
kinda hard to search for a topic like this... give him a break<P>I believe the b6t came from the 323 GTX (perhaps GTR). In either event check hollywood imports down in VA beach they tend to have plenty of the engines in stock. Tell mike sonic said whats up

Re: B6T
Geez, that's funny, I remember posting this info many times. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img] <P>There were never any GTR model 323s available in NA. You are looking for '88-89 323 GT/GTX, '90-94 Mercury Capri (only available in US, not Canada). These are the same years that you should be looking for around the globe if you are interested in importing. '90-94 GTX models in Japan came with the BP variation. <P>There you go.

Re: B6T
I know your probably gonna say do a search, but what people post is way different from other people. So heres the question, what other major parts are required in order to swap in the b6t?

Re: B6T
I checked you site and read some of the stuff. I think there's more to it though.

Re: B6T
Yes, there's much more to it. Like:<P>1 - You have to remove the engine you have.<P>2 - You need to change all of the gaskets on the replacement engine. They're probably as dry as a fart by now.<P>3 - You should possibly have the turbo re-built<P>4 - You need to come up with an intercooler<P>5 - You need a fuel pump from an RX7<P>6 - You need a boost gauge and EGT gauge and Air-Fuel gauge<P>7 - You need a Protege LX trasmission (I'm guessing this may not be correct)<P>8 - You need synthetic oil, coolant, gear oil, brake fluid<P>9 - I think you should upgrade the brakes. At least change to slotted rotors.<P>10 - Lastly, you need a safe place to do it.<P><BR>...you need to muster up the courage to do major surgery on your baby. Your loyal companion. Look her in the face and tell her it's gonna be all right and that it won't hurt one bit. <P>Go for it.<P>RF

Re: B6T
That has to be the biggest line of crap I have heard. There is not more to it. Read my site, better yet check the 4cyl FAQ, I posted 4 pages worth of info for you and anyone else looking into this swap. All those parts renef just listed are noted on my site and in the Faq. It is documented in both locations what is needed.<P>Powerman 5000- what else were you looking for? Me to do the swap for you? Not much else I can provide you with unless you tell me exactly what you need.<P>Renef- WTF!? remove the engine? no doubt.<p>[ September 18, 2002: Message edited by: maldo ]

Re: B6T
Why do you have to be a smart a--?! You listed some parts to do the swap, but I do believe there should be more parts to that list. And to anwser your smart a-- question,<BR>if you want to buy the engine and all the parts needed, go for it.
Re: B6T
i think that list above is funny though.....especially "remove the engine" lol <p>[ September 19, 2002: Message edited by: Kit996 ]

Re: B6T
Smart A--? No, I just take offense to the suggestion that all the research that I have done and provided for all the members on here is incomplete. If you can't figure out that you need oil and coolant for that new motor, you shouldn't be doing the swap yourself. It is very simple, of course you need fluids, might be a good idea to put new plugs in, change the rotor, etc. This is all general maintenance that you should be doing with your current motor. Doing this to your new one is just a given, I don't need to tell you that.<P>Tell me, what components from that list do you feel that I am missing?? I would be more than happy to add it if it is really needed. I do mean components, not oil, coolant, belts, etc. IF it is in regards to the components of a turbo system, go get "Maximum Boost" like I already suggested. Do some research on your own before you chop apart others. And some of you wonder why not all of us are quite willing to give up our info so quickly. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Re: B6T
Everybody that tinker's with cars should know that you have to change all the fluids, belts, gaskets, and so on. I think some of the stuff in the optional part section should be moved up into the mandatory part section(Protege Trans, Bigger fuel pump, bigger exhaust piping, new clutch, upgraded ignition, stiffer motor mounts, and upgraded ecu). I believe those parts are vital parts in making the enigne swap successful.
