Why do every body say that the lx here in canada didn't came with the dohc. I have an 93 protege lx it's writen on the car an on the paper of the car, it's a 25 anniversary edition and before my swap i had the 1.8l dohc in it.

Go there then click enter and go to the swap guide. Yours is the BG 323 I believe. Look on the list, as it lists about everything you will need. You need alot being a 323. I own a 323 and want to do the swap, but I have not got around to it yet.

has a good way to find local parts.
You need the engine, all the axels, ecu, speedo cable, radiator, radiator supports, and a couple of other things. I got a list going somewhere, I will post it again later once I find it. All that from a 90 to a 94 protege. any would work from those years so find one that has as low miles as possible.

OK here is the list I have going, thanks to many who have helped me make this.

For the 323 sawp you wil need:

91-96 EGT or 90-94 Pro LX tranny
" " spedo sensor
" " spedo cable
" " Rear, front, and right tranny engine mount brackets
" " passenger and driver side axels
" " half (middle, jack, intermediate shaft)
" " clutch and flywheel ( I plan to go aftermarket on these when I have everything out
" " clutch slave cylinder

Crap, someone helped me make this list over AIM (MimeAssassin), but I cant remember the screen name right now, but I give them all the credit. Anyone else know of anything else needed? unno:

and what about the wiring? i read somewhere that you dont need to pro lx wiring harness cos there is only a 2 wire difference between pro lx and 323...

D323

yeah I hadnt got to that yet. All I got covered is the mechanical side. I need to do more research for the wiring side.

upgrading a pro is simple. Upgrading a 323 shows true talent
by talent I mean more time and money.
