I checked the FAQ but didn't see an answer to this... would it be easier to swap the BPT into a SOHC or DOHC RS, if there would be any difference...? If so, why?
Thanks

Re: BPT swap into SOHC vs DOHC
I thought that only difference between the RS and GS were the engines?
RS (1.6 SOHC) vs. GS (1.8 DOHC)
I wasn't aware of a DOHC RS.

Re: BPT swap into SOHC vs DOHC
RS--
SOHC: 92-93
DOHC: 94+
GS has always been a DOHC
i'd say a sohc as then you can use the protege ecu to help with the fuel maps. also, it's easier to use the f-series tranny if you wanted to. other than that, no differences. they fit the same.

Fast imports only come on two wheels.

Re: BPT swap into SOHC vs DOHC
Thanks Ashley. Does the tranny have to do with how long the axles are? Or something with the axles..?
I should've just bought your car, lol.

Re: BPT swap into SOHC vs DOHC
You could use the BP tranny and axles. The tranny is stronger. The Protege axles also help get rid of some the torque steer.
I think the DOHC is easier because the TPS pins match up better. I'm not too positive. I the the SOHC has one less pin, which means you have to do some extra work.

Re: BPT swap into SOHC vs DOHC
yes you should have
if you keep the f-series, then you want the sohc passenger side axle as it's one piece, whereas the 94+ have a jack-shaft.
