My friend has a 1.6 SOHC MX-3 and he was wondering what upgrade parts from other cars he can use. I heard that escort GT throttle bodies will work, so we're gonna slap one of those on there, but is there anything else that i should look for at a junkyard?

they will work but use a mazda protege 90-94 1.8 LX but if friends car is auto make sure the TBody is auto if manual make sure is manual. look around for a 87-88 mass air flow meter that big metal box. look at my signature has a list of mods i have done. hope that help if not happy to help out laters

Drifter MX-3

whats the diff between the protege and the escort one?

i don't think there is a difference but i rather put mazda parts anyway here in Tx in the juckyards there hardly any escort GT lots of protege LX that i find in the juckyards. the TB will work from the escort Gt on the sohc mx-3.

Are there any other parts that would fit the SOHC from another car (any parts worth upgrading)??

Tell him to save his money and buy the racing mazda turbo kit.
