BPT

the bpt came in the GTX and GTR models for the 323. Came only in first gen 323 as far as I know. Years 90-94 I believe. Anyone know of any others, correct me if IM wrong.

I plan to go with a BP and turbo it eventually. There has been alot about the NA head and how it is alot less restrective. Just do a search.

try www.car-part.com for a listing of parts you might want or need.

barelylegaltransplants.com has a swap guild with a listing for everything that you will need to swap to a BP(T).

Good luck and post plenty of pics.

If you make that video let me know I can convert it to the computer, and put it on CD so you can post it online somewhere

Good luck!
