need a list of all swaps
I would like to know what all possible swaps there is for the mazda mx-3 i have the 1.6l and would like to put a different engine in it, but i am not sure if I should even do the jspec. Has anyone done a swap from a protege? just curious. Please let me know what can be done and how hard is it. thanks!
Re: need a list of all swaps
Hehe if ya do a search ya can find a lot more information than i can pound out in a couple of mintues<p>but to sum it up the swaps that are easy to do for you would be=<p>BP -1.8l Block from protege LX 90-94 125hp <p>B6T - 1.6l Turbo 130hp from 88-89 323 gtx, 90-94 mercury capri xr-2<p>BPT - 1.8l Turbo 185hp J-spec motor..<p>The BP is by far the most simplisct and straight forward swap. I have perfomed it and its very direct and has minimal down time. Its really not even a swap its just like replacing the stock motor. Its best to get the motor, ecu, wireingharness, and tranny, You will have to setup something to have a working speedomerter as of the proteges i got mine from was cable driven.. i am going to get a diffren gauge cluster though that is cable driven to take care of that..

Re: need a list of all swaps
well the sohc mx-3 is a cable driven speedo so, if you used that it might work. <p>with the bp swap donty you need the bp(prolx) ecu? if you did change that how exactly do you change the ecu? i need to know this because im planning on doing the bpt swap this fall. thanx
i got a 90 pgt...but wish it was a mx-3 bp-t!

Re: need a list of all swaps
just remember the cars are similar in many ways and dont overcomplicate things.... we used the protege ecu and the protege wiring harness.. =]

thanks for the input
<p>One question on the jdm Motor, is it legal in the US? because here you have to pass emissions testing.
