Mazda 323 gtx 1.6 turbo rods?

HI

Does Mazda 323 1.6 gtx Turbo rods fit into a first gen 1.8 ptotege?
If yes, than are those 1.6 turbo rods stronger than stock 1.8 rods?

Thanx any replies!

as far as i know, no. the 1.6L rods are going to be about the same strength as the 1.8L rods...

They don't make those rods anymore. The 1.6l Miata rods are the replacement.
I read something on the "other" board that they might fit. I'll try to find it and post a link.

No use changing them your stock ones will hold up to 400 hp

Since it was a Miata with 400WHP expect ~450 or so at the flywheel.
However if the engine's got high miles you might want new oe rods though.
