Engine Swap?
 

I was wondering if you could swap a BPturbo engine from a GTR in to a 2nd gen pro? Any help would be great.

Thanks

If you did attempt it you would run into numerous problems..... One of them being me coming to take your motor from you and put it in my 1st Gen.....and out of generosity i'll let you have my GTX motor.....:bt:

LOL! ya I would love you have your engine. Do you know what kind of engines would be able to go in to a gen2?

Thanks

There's been a lot of debate about going with the entire BPT engine or adding the external parts necessary to turbo a stock BPT engine. I know the B6T engine had much stronger connecting rods than the stock BPT, and Mazda no longer produces the stronger rods. Does the BPT use the stronger rods also? I would assume it does with the factory turbo. If so, it might be a better idea to go with the entire BPT engine, especially if you plan to increase the boost beyond the stock levels. As almost everyone here knows, the BP engine has a very strong bottom end, probably pretty close to the heralded Nissan SR20 and Mitsubishi 4G63 engines. Considering it has a closed deck, it's probably stronger than the Honda B16 & 18 engines. The stronger rods make a big difference if you want to really turn the power up.
