    we hate on noobs for askin these questions.... but

    but im gonna ask anyways. just as a favor to one of my friends. she has a mx3 and wants to know what motor swaps are available, and basicaly what her options are. just to keep em semi simple. i know my way around bp's, sense i have an escort with a gtx swap. but i know JACK bout the mx3. dont even know what it comes stock with! lol. i know its a 1.6 SOMETHING. LOL.

    so what should i tell her?


    and also....
    is putting in a 1.8 bp an option for her?

    Seriously? Hating on noobs? Not correct. Informing them of the search button is more like it. Oh and come on, have you not browsed the new posts and seen mx3-4-ever's posts? 1.8 bp right there from start to finsih, basically.

                Pretty much. From what I've come to know you just use all the egt/pro lx mounts ,harness and ecu. I think you can run the mx3 ecu by adding 2 wires but I couldn't tell you much more than that.

                So now that you got that info we require a couple pics. Thanks.

                  I'll trade you my BP for her BP...



                  ... and I'm not gonna say what BP stands for.

                        Yeah but it's more difficult than trowing a BP. I say just get a BP with the G series tranny. You will need the ECU, tranny mounts, axels, shift linkage, clutch & flywheel, and I think that's it.

                          well yeah, the bp is "easier" but wouldnt it bug you that your entire life your missing 2 cylinders?
