I hate saying this to people but search I guarantee its there
and yes you have to change the mounts

you dont have to change the mounts, but it is recomended you upgrade to the mazda speed ones. ecu, well its obvious youll have to use a protege ecu and piggyback or go with a standalone. id suggest standalone for there are many more options and benefits of it. hope that helps answer the questions you asked.

so the engine would drop in just fine?

yes, the mounts are the same size.

please search, there is sooo much info on the bpt swap here.

are u serious how come everyone tells me i need to change the mounts cus mine apparently arent strong enough

thanks for the info if anybody have more information please keep writing thanks

do you have to rewire or get a diff harness for a Pro ECU.

wow guys c'mon now:

boricua_in_at: have you thought about just turboing your motor? cjthor and jademotorsports both made ~200whp with that kind of set-up.

a dohc mx3 CANNOT use a protege ecu with the stock wiring harness.

you change the bracket, not the mount.

PLEASE PLEASE search these types of questions.

also, you can meet up with the MOCA guys at the waffle house up near you. go to their website and meet up with justin. he can help you out as he's done this swap as well.
