      bg or bf style gtx? your goin to have to look in canada for the bg style tho..... otherwise your gonna have to find one in some other country to import it from... theres a place in canada that has a few gtr's stocking up from other provinces having to loose thier rhd cars or something to that nature. theyre usually about 5-7k canadian.....

        i really like it, but yet it is the 1.6.... there really not all that much faster than my escort gt stock... i would like to get into a BG chassis starting off at a higher horsepower....


        i would prefer bg, thats what the 89-94's are, the bf's came with the 1.6 turbo which isnt my cup of tea... im an escort gt guy, so i can come up with some extra 1.8 stuff if need be...


        thanks for the help so far... keep 'em comming

          You'll have to build a bg gtx or import 1 from canada. Good luck.

              That escort uses a mazda 1.8, based on the same 1.6 you are not so fond of. If I were you I would look for a bp/t powered BF GTX.

                The 1.8 has a few revisions that make it a better engine, disi, intake manis (lots of options), head options, bigger bore (new block), oil coolers, turbos, etc. The B6T is like a tank, but still needs maintenance and at the end of the day is only 1.6L.

                Good luck trying to import a GTX/GTR into the states, its illegal. You have to wait until 2015 to be able to import a GT/GTX, 2017 for a GTR. You can try to buy an empty shell and a drivetrain from two separate buyers and piece it together and register it as a kit car, but you can't import a real one already assembled.

                  I am not debating which motor is better, that is clear. I was just saying that the 1.6 should be respected.

                  Also, I don't like when people speak highly of their escort gt 1.8 when it is just a mazda bp. lol

                        =over 9000? for what, a GTX/GTR? There's a GTX in my province going for I think ~$7k (beware, its a lemon), and I spent just under $8k for my GTR. You should be able to pick one up at around $7k, even when they're listed for $10k

                        The B6T did a lot for the auto industry, 1.6L turbo + awd, Mazda started the revolution. That doesn't mean the engine is that great. And why can't GT owners be proud of their BPs? For $500 they can bolt-on a turbo and ECU and be pushing 200hp.

                            i did a 2.3 to a 5.0 swap in my mustang and i never want to do that again....

                            i like the GTR because it is already stock turbocharged, not custom, i wont have to be stuck on the side of the road because something was overlooked or put together wrong doing a turbo swap in my car... this is a toy car, it will replace my 5.0 if i can find what i want, and the money isnt an issue



                            this is the car i want, maybe not the exact one, but one just like it...

                            ive got to do research on this importing a car thing... can i buy the car assembled, remove the engine, cross the border, then reassemble?

                              dude u can just buy a whole bpt setup already importted by an importer for like 1600 for the whole swap including the motor and prlly 4wd trans that u wouldnt need unless u got a 4wd pro or something. the setup is very easy to swap and you really can hardly over look stuff after the fact that you get it up and running it preetty much smoooth sailing from there
