SOHC requires more work than DOHC Not only do you need the engine, but you need an intercooler, haltec (or stock GTX/R ECU & APEXi S-AFC & MSD Ignition Controller), Blow Off Valve, Boost Controoler, DX engine parts (timing belt, gaskets & seals, alternator, etc), DX Transmission, and Upgraded clutch. THen you need a downpipe and bigger exhaust. The engine itself will drop straight in though. Hope this helps check out http://blt.n3.net, look for the swap guide. |
I think you meant LX accessories and tranny, right?

Originally posted by superdave I sure hope so. ;) And there are a lot more stand alone options than the haltech. |

I don't think you'll have too many problems with MD emissions, if we can get them to pass here in California, with some of the strictest laws. The trick will be tuning it well, which you need to do anyway. Japanese emissions are pretty close to U.S. laws, the problem is when they were brand new... smogging usually has higher tolerance as it's expected that after a few years an engine will be a little bit less in shape... in fact I think that on my smog certificate some of the emissions are about 1/10th of the max :)

just move to minnesota. thanks to jesse "the gov" ventura we don't have any emissions testing
|
Continuing the subject...is there anyone out there that DIDN'T pass Emissions
|
The Haltek E6K is available for $800-1000. I never thought the AEM unit is cheaper. Can u give me a link or phone number to the place that has the AEM unit for cheaper ?
Thanks |
I'd like that number too...

re:
just wanted to thank everyone for their reply :)

AEM Makes one for the RX-7 and Miata...I'm not seeing any protege, 323, escort, etc.

About smog
I did not pass emissions on my first test, but it was a vacuum line that was offseting m,y timing.
The car can even pass with flying colors, but if the timing is not within specs it will fail. It has to be 3 degrees above or below the factory settings. So, you got to be very careful cause you can have a Mazda 323 with factory specs of 7 degrees with a BP05 DOHC, but the factory spec for a BP is 10 degrees. BUT, the tech will go by what is in the hood. Unless you take it to the referee or best option change the sticker in the hood or change the hood for a Protege DOHC. Mine is a 323 with BP05 and passed on the second run after making adjustments in the timing and fixing the vacuum leak. |
