If I buy a corksport BPT, what does it take to swap to 9

[MXTreme]

If I buy a corksport BPT, what does it take to swap to 94 DOHC?<p>I'm looking to do the swap in the near future, but I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I buy the engine. I'd like to know what other parts I'll need to replace on my car to make it run smoothly.

Welcome to the board man, try looking in the 4cyl FAQ, there is a breakdown of everything you need. Also, try using the search function in the 4 cyl forum, should come up with more info than you could ever want!

hey and welcome to the board. who are you? i lived in warner robins for 2yrs or so and went to HoCo. graduated in '98. anyway, like it was posted, there's a complete write up in the 4cyl FAQ that me and a couple of other people wrote. it should have everything you need. i can also help you out with your swap if you let me know when you'll be doing it. also, not sure if you know but there's a group of mx-3's around the atlanta area www.forumco.com/moca

Thanks guys, I found that faq after I posted, and it's very informative. I go to Northside High, and am currently a kitchen ** at Steak n Shake. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because so far, I've only planned on getting the parts, my car will prolly be jacked up for a while as I learn about this.

My name's Jessie Martin. It's cool that your wife went to Northside. About how long ago was that?

Hi Jessie, <p>You might be interested in the MX-3 Owners Club of Atlanta (or MOCA as we are known)<p>Here is our website:
MOCA website<p>And our Online Forum:
MOCA Forum<p>We are pretty active and a lot of our guys have engine swaps either already done or in the process.<p>Ashley (cre8v mx3) is one of our good friends and he knows his stuff. Super nice guy!<p>One of our members, Justin, is doing the BPT swap right now in his 1994 RS-- so he can be a good source of info for you as well. <p>As far as Corksport- thats where Justin got his engine and it came all busted up and lots of missing pieces and broken crap. He has spent a TON of money rebuilding it and replacing everything.<p>There is a shop here in Atlanta called Best Japanese Engines and they have some BPTs in stock and in top condition. You may want to check them out-- Patrick, another member, got his KL-ZE from there for a great price and its very clean.<p>Anyway- we are having a Southeast MX-3 Meet and Techday on May 25th. It would be a good chance to meet some of us and to check out Justins Engine and ask him any questions. <p>Our Forum is Very active and is also a good place for Tech help. Come on by!<p>[ March 12, 2003: Message edited by: atlantamx3 ]</p>

Thanks for the offer man, it sounds like a great idea, I checked out the MOCA boards a night or two ago, when I saw it mentioned. Where will the meet take place? I think I'm gonna ask this on the MOCA boards as well.
