I have a 93 323. I can get a front clip for B6T for $700 plus shipping or I can get a BP engine and ecu for $230 I just have to take it out myself. Which stop do you think would be better and less complicated or more worth it? thanx in advance...

B6T or BP

BP, most definately.
The B6T isn't a terrible engine, but the BP has MUCH more potential to make power. The BP makes almost as much power as the B6T in stock form, as well.
With that extra money you save from getting the BP over the B6T, you can do some work and make it even quicker.Dan

yeah go with the BP. it will even bolt to your existing tranny. you will get the longer gears. You have the same tranny as a 1.8L SOHC. i know it bolts up because i have done it. it works. if you want the particular of a BP swap PM me. i can tell you what wires you need to elongate, and add.
You will need 2 wires for your harness (i have them) an extra wire for the disty (i have a spare also). you can use your stock wiring system, SO DONT CUT AVYTHING!! you will need to lenghen the Engine coolant temp sensor wire on your stock fuel rail wire harness. and you will have to wire in the VICA, and the 4th wire on the disty. all you need is the passenger side engine mount fromt the BP.When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

If you plan on doing any tuning, the B6T can put out 230+. That, and the thing loves to rev.
...Just a thought.
With a front clip, you can get a lot of stuff and even sell the gearbox. Maybe even a front lower arm crossmember. Personally, I'd go for the B6T.Bryan

I'm kind of torn. The B6T has just about as much potential as the BP. Hell, the BP is, for all intensive purposes, a larger B6ZE; same head design, same block design, etc etc, just longer. The BP's increase in displacement will aid when taken to the extreme, but for what you'd be doing with it, it really doesn't matter. Agreed, a NA BP will produce a similar output to that of the B6T, but I say perform the swap that would be the least expensive/easiest (all things considered).Last edited by kcbhiw; 11-03-2003, 09:45 PM.-Kevin

tell me more about that B6T buildup. Someone is offering me a complete '89 323 GTX and I'm not sure what to do. What is to be done in order to get around 180 hp... any internals to change? How easy is it and what do I need to put it in my '91 Pro?
Thanks!

Not too much in specifics, but I'm sure if you send an e-mail to cwstuning, they'll give ya some info. Major changes were a bigger turbo and a Miata intake manifold.Bryan

you need to figure out what you GOAL is....and then one or the otehr will become obvious as the better choice.

I'm not sure about the laws in FL, but in PA I believe you need both halves of the car to drive legallyDan
