Motor swap
Ok i have a mazda 323p 1500 and i want to swap engines with the other 323 i have, thats a 94 323 1800 turbo h/b
im just wandering has anyone done this ? my 323 p engine is like this http://images.cardomain.com/installs...34_11_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/installs...34_10_full.jpg i dont have any pics of the 94 turbo :stickpoke: im gonnna get this working =))) i think it will be the only 323p 1800 turbo in the world :evilgrin: :stickpoke |
What year is that??
Sorry dawg, but you won't be the only 323p turbo. Just wondering, is that the 4 door or hatch back?? There is still debate as to wether the BPT will fit economically under the hoods of second gens. |
There is one guys that has done it, I think his name is pin0yi30y, and here is a pic of his car:
http://members.aol.com/pin0yi30y/images/protege.jpg He obviously put a lot of money into that car, and he said it was a rather difficult swap, but now he has close to 170 BHP. I also know that Bruce95fmla is getting one too, in his 95 Protege. Basically, it is duable, and if you have the engine, I would suggest you ask plenty question from pin0yi30y, to find out what else you need to finish your project. Good luck. |

umm.... you have a 323F, not a 323P from what I can tell... and it'll be considered "2nd gen"

im gonna get some new pics soon, its changed a lot since theese pics
|
ok, that's a 323P then
|
That is sweet, where are you from? From what the guy said who did do the swap to the bpt engine it migh be better to just get a 1.8L from the same gen as yours and beef up the internals and add a turbo to it.

One thing I know is that the 1.8T in that car would be off this world (like ALF) ..The engine should fit , with some 2nd gen accesoried , Or you can get the BP 1.8 motor and then drop a turbo on it ,.. at any rate sweet car bro ....

turbo
how much would u think a engine switch would cost to transfer a 1.8L into my 1.5 L 96 lx? I want to get a turbo for the car and it seems like this is the only way is there any other turbo for a 1.5
|
no turbo for the 1.5 , but you can custom make one , wich when u think about it , is not hard , and the 1.5 is a stron engine , so it should be able to take 5-6lps of boost with proper fuel added and other natural things ,,,..
well I figure price wise you should spend like 300-400 for the custom manifold , about 150 or less for the turbo , wich does not have to be new , cause u can use something from another car, and then u have pipping and so forth , wich is not as bad as you may think cause a lot of things you can just order a bunch of pipes from like jc whitney or whoever sells 90 degree bends and put it all together ,.. maybe a s-afc , to control things ( I don't know much about s-afc's) but I am gonna learn ,... and blow off valve and u should be set aside from some other things ... Or ............ you can get a 1.8 and drop that in , a lot cheaper if you do the work yourself , same goes with the turbo , I just priced a 97 1.8 at 850 ... so ..... and I can most likely get them cheaper, and u know what I was just reminded that the kia uses the same motor ,, so imagine the posibilites ..... you can either go turbo 1.8 or high reving NA 1.8 ... I am actually starting to think the NA way is the way to go , cause at the track they are running with the Turbo's with no porblem Bruce |
turbo 96 lx
I was talking to my friend one day wondering how hard it would be to but a turbo into my car? We fig on taking the a turbo out of a 323 which i belive is a IHI vj20 or a escort gt turbo which ive seen that has a vj16. The thing we had wondered is besides for adjusting the manifold to fit the car and a custom down pipe where would i go to get the rest down? thats wehrer were stuck.
