Hrmm where to start. THe stock fuel pump is not really gonna work very well with that motor. I am suprised it has yet to fizzel and die, or the motor run to lean.
Bad gas milage can be a lot of diffrent things. Are you using a reprogammed ECU?
You can set it up to use the MX3 pullies but the belts come from a Protege lx 90-94 (1.8l DOHC) that is US spec btw, i imagine call a mazda dealer and get it from them.

Oh Dear, this could take a while.
The ECU is what tells the motor what to do and when to do it. Electronic Control Unit. I would suggest you start with doing a lot of basic reserach on automobiles before you starting playing with more advanced things.
The more you play, the more you break, and the bigger the repair bill.
