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

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]

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

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?

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 ]

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

Well accroding to this site the BPD is the GTR engine. Check the pic down the very bottom.<BR> <A HREF="http://www.fordfestiva.com/Performance/ ... guide.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.fordfestiva.com/Performance/ ... de.html</A> <P>steve

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.
