I have a 2000 mazda protege, 1.6L and i am wanting to do a BPT swap. i have been reading alot of post on this site, but i still feel my questions are left unanswered. how difficult is the swap? Is it just bolt in or are mods needed to make it fit? what type of tranny am i needing to purches to bolt on to the engine? will i need new axles if so what type or can i use my current ones? ECU and wiring harness, is it really that difficult? if any one can help or point me in the right direction i will be eternaly gratefull. thank you so much.

 

No no no no no.
Turbo the bastard, dammit.
That's all I'm gonna say.

 

way to revive a dead thread....BPT swap would be WAY costly...ZM-DE's will hold plenty of boost...just turbo it
