I was reading at the sportcompact car website and i found an article about the 2003 mazda protege. They said it will come with a 2.0L Turbo! and i was thinking to myself, Arn't the mx-3 and protege build on the same base or whatever? could this be a possability for a engine swap, a brand new mazda engine instead of looking around for a BPD. Its supose to get something like 170hp, what do yall think? <A HREF="

What I wanna know is.What is the difference in our(1.6L) engine compartment compare to a 1.8L?Its said that in a 1.6L,you can only put a bpt and in 1.8L,you can put a ze.I thought the car didnt change in size beside small diff. in interior and small changes in engine specs.

man just go for a b6t they have around 135 and are direct bolt in, I've heard the klze can't fit without alot of modification into the 4, bpt has a turbo, has 180 and will fit I've been priced $2200 (CND)for just motor
