I couldn´t go along with this... How come there are different b6t engines??
I found one for sale with 160 hp, and check out the link for the stock b6t in 323 gts....

best engine swap is the 1.8L inline 4 bp or bpt engine (bp and bpt are the same just the bpt has turbo) if you are going to order an engine order one of those

Ok but does it just bolt in?
Can i use the same clutch?
if not were can i buy an upgrade?
same ECU? same Harness?
same tranny?
same axles?

And most important were do i buy it?

comon can one of the experts please fill me in, i mean seriously is it that hard and am i really going into uncharted territory? I dont feel like being the mx-3 expert and 3k in the whole in 3 months from now. I just want a simple swap with some extra power for a dailey driver.

So please some help here!

I seriously suggest you use the search option... we've already given you good info to start with... there are several posts with step by step instructions on how to do swaps in the 92-93 mx-3's with the 4 cyl engine.... it will take too much time for me to go search for you and repost the step by step here... i'm working on my own swap but i'm going from v6 to i4 which is a lot harder but we'll worth it. i wish you luck and if you run into problems after searching i will try and offer more info as will many others i'm sure.. but before that it would be great if you searched both the forums and the mx-3 main page for swap info

Nothing is just plug and play... this isn't a computer world where you can take a part out of one computer and throw it into another. Yes some engines will drop right in, but what about piping and wiring...

All the answers are found in the 4cyl FAQ http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewforum.php?f=24... I'm not gonna pointing out every answer for you, so I suggest you read every thread there cause you'll need to know all of it if you're doing any kind of swapping.

I suggest if you want plug and play asap... then you better just get another junkyard stock engine and put that in, cause that's the closest to plug and play you're gonna get.
