Re: I need to be faster

Disregarding the flamer... As far as being slow or wanting to go quicker, i'm going to point out the obvious:
Tune up, fresh oil, clean filter etc will usually get you a long way. If memory serves right the SOHC does 0-60 in about 10.5 while the DOHC does it in 9 something.. Might have been 9.5 ...

Re: Ok another one of those - Who makes this?

I can't seem to find any company that makes it except for the one in germany who are looking for distributors. They have some other kits too.

Ok another one of those - Who makes this?

Besides the small company with the .de in the URL...

It's rather stylish I think, any opinions?

Re: B8 exhaust ports...

Thanks for the help. Another question I have is are the blocks the same? I know the BP has forged crank etc., but are the heads interchangable?

The 1.8 L (1839 cc) BP is a dual-overhead variant of the B8. It was first found in the 1989 Mazda Familia and American-market 1990 Mazda Protege LX. This engine was dubbed BP-ZE and ...

B8 exhaust ports...

Someone has got to know this... I'm trying to see if the B8 16 valve SOHC has the same exhaust ports as the BP DOHC... Found some information that suggest this is true, and from looking at varius websites pictures of exhaust mani gaskets, it seems they are the same.
