2. anyone lived in austin that can help me during weekend or something? ill buy u lunch and dinner, im not rich but ill do what i can

3. do i really need some engine management system? cos the my budget is very very limited

what year is ur mx-3 cuz id recomend that if u have a 94+ 1.6 go with the b6t it would be easier.

The B6-T is a great engine, but not on a budget.

I would go with a natrually aspirated BP from a Kia, Protege, or Escort GT. It's more cost effective to do it this way and turbo the BP later.

If you find a "front clip" from a jap spec GTX under $2500, consider that a bargin. It will have everything you need to make it run besides the trans.
