Im writing this thread because all the info(for my BPT swap) i gathered from these forums ended up straight wrong or off base. If you are looking to do a BPT swap here is a no bull**** list of what you WILL have to do and will have to get. I know some of you already know this but i got hit in the balls with alot of surprises during my swap. Mainly the rumor that a F series tranny would work on a BP-T and that the axles were the same and so on.
If you own a BG Hatch:
-BPT motor, with intercooler and pipes (unless you make your own)
-BPT ecu
-BPT wire harness
-BPT Vaf
-Normal BP flywheel from a 1st gen 1.8 DOHC protege
-NEW Clutch! Dont be cheap!!! AND RESURFACE THAT DAMN FLYWHEEL (model )
-A tranny from a 1.8 DOHC 1g Protege(also known as G series tranny)
-Top tranny mount off G tranny
-front tranny mount off G tranny
-the back tranny mount too, you can get away with out it but why not.
-Both Right and left complete axles, including the intermediate shaft.
IF YOU HAVE A 1.8L SOHC PROTEGE
You will need to do the same things a the BG Hatch
IF YOU HAVE A 1.8L DOHC PROTEGE
all info is the same, but you will not need a G tranny, mounts, axles, or flywheel.
WIRE HARNESS INFO
IF you get a right hand drive harness: it will need to be extended about 3 feet and rewrapped. That way it will be nice and pretty under the hood and fit the way it is suppose too! A RHD harness also requires the joint connector plugs under the ECU to be repinned.More info on that later.
If you get a left hand drive harness: It is plug and play, no extending and no repining!
NOT COMPLETE I WILL FINISH WITH MORE INFO LATER STAY TUNED
