Yeah, I worded that wrong. It has been debated before, but I think the only differance is the rev limiter. I think on some of the aussie boards they did some testing and it did yeild lower power, but nothing to really be noticed. As far as being out of the powerband, that may be true, but if you have a big enough turbo or the vj-20 at full boost, it might make a differance. This has been talked about before.BP-05 Turbo-Sold

The Euro BPT's made less power? Are you guys sure? First I've EVER heard of this....
now, I know the ecu's in the Ozzie Ford Laser TX3's were tuned for 170hp as opposed to 180hp for the JDM (Mazda) BPT's. Soprry, I don't know a p/n on the TX3 ecu but the guys at www.fordlaser.com or www.amazd.co.nz/forum might know.

aussie ecu is the BP58. its rated at 117 kW (157 hp), because it was tuned to 95 RON fuel instead of 100 RON fuel like the BP26. they just didnt have the higher octane fuel available in australia at the time, thats the reason for the difference. to get a ball-park conversion, subtract 4 or 5 points from the RON number to get the R/M ((ron+mon)/2) number used in the US.
100 RON = ~94-95 (r+m)/2
95 RON = ~90-91 (r+m)/2Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI
