Engine Swaps!
I have an 94' DX (auto)w/ 137000 miles and I wanna swap soon before she blows but I need to know what are my choices. I have been reading about what the differences are and all but it doesn't go into too much detail. I know this is not legos and there must be some other things invoved.
For example: A BPT motor swap... okay there is a motor....what about the intercooler????? what about any boost control???? etc.... I want to do it within the next year b/c I have a leak in that is oil soaking my drive belts and I rather spend the money on a nicer engine all together!!!!!!:confused: |
Hard to say what the best option is with an auto tranny, as the BPT might eat that tranny for lunch. I don't know anyone with a BPT and auto tranny......Converting to a 5sp tranny will be more work than it's worth.
from cheapest to most expensive: 1) BP DOHC swap 2) BPT swap 3) KLZE 2.5L V6 swap |
so you think then I should just go w/ a dohc??? I thought so all along but I don't really know where I can find one...well a good one atleast....
anyone know where there a shops that have mazda engines in the east coast??? |
if the engine is on the way out, you may want to think about selling the car and getting one with a 5sp tranny and then doing whatever swap you want. But if you just wanna swap engines, i think the BP DOHC would be the safest way to go with an auto tranny.

Does anyone know of any places (w/ websites) that offer these engines???? other than corksport.......:laugh:

3800$ CDN for a complete swap, and plus they change a few other things to make it run clean and well. That's equivalent to..... 2000$ US? Not bad if you ask me, you get the 2.5L V6 KL engine, 170hp, proven 1/4 mile times of 14.3 with the 323!!!
Oh yeah, where do you live again? |
Isn't there any turbos out for that engine?

Go to www.soshinusa.com and tell them that you want the gen1 LX DOHC engine. I think the last time I talked to them, the quoted me $895 for the DOHC. You can try that one. I have an auto too and am trying to figure out what to do with it. I think I am steering more towards getting an '88 GTX and rally racing it.
