1988 Mercury Tracer Engine swap (same car as 323 i believe)
Ok, so my friend currently owns a 1988 mercury tracer 2door hatch (5 speed), i believe it is the same car as the 323 of the same year. As of now it has the stock 1.6liter I4 in it, that has no *****!
He just finished paying for it (hey, hes 16, lol) and wants to swap in a engine from corksport.... now our question is, will the BP-T drop right in? (1.8 liter, 180 or 210hp... which ever).... or would going with the B6-T work better (1.6liter turbo)... now his main requirement, is alot more power! lol
but hey, if you guys can help out, thatd be great!

The 1.6L - 1.8L swap in any Mazda (Miata, 323) is not as straight-forward as you might think. Wriring is just one of them nay challenges involved.
If it were my $$$ , I don't think I'd go with the CorkSport 1.8L, as those engines were much more rare and therefore much more expensive. 1.6Ls are cheap and prolific. (Tracer, Capri, Miata, etc)
