Stuck on decisions! Please help club pro!
Well, first off im a new member! I've had my 93 pro for about a year now, and i thought i was stuck with an un-tunable car. ya see, i reck my 99 z24, and since i was car-less and broke, my sister gave me her pro for free! it was cool, and it was wheels. anywho, a year later and im stuck with one descision. keep the pro and mod it by engine swap (cause i need more power), or get a new car. well, i don't have alot of money, and i don't really want another loan. soo, what should i do? P.S. Thanks to all of you, i just found out about how much i can mod my car. its like a whole new pair of boxers or something.

What trim is it? Stick or auto? The lx 5 speed pros have all the power options you can handle in a fwd. And also the dx 5speeds that wanna convert to a bp dohcComment

many options.
most go 1.8 DOHC BPT
you can drop a K series v6 in there (1.8L piece of **** up to the popular 2.5L (good N/A engine with loads of torque)
BPT is the cheapest and quickest way to get some power to the ground.Comment

cool guys, and thanks for the advice! im north of peoria il, if ya know where thats at. anyways, i was almost thinking of the KL-ZE swap, but i don't know of pricing and availability. the BPT swap almost seems more reasonable, and more worth turbocharging. i have a 5 speed DX, so there's not much to work with. i almost have to upgrade! how easy is the BPT to come by, and is it a hard swap?i hate being broke!Comment

For a KL-ZE swap, you will basically need the front end of a V-6 MX-3 due to the fact that you will need certain parts. Not really sure on pricing for it. As far as a BPT swap, there are 2 options:
GTX= 1.8 DOHC Turbo motor = 185hp version = Bolts in = Fairly common
GTR= 1.8 DOHC Turbo motor = 210hp version = Bolts in = RARE
Both are basically the same as the normal 1.8 DOHC motor found here in the US, but those are turbo. The GTR does have some differences when it comes to internals however.1991 Mazda 323 GTR Sedan
MODS:
GTR motor swap, F&R Familia strut bars, MX-3 Rear Lower strut tie bar, GTX front bumper, GTX grill, EDM headlights & corners, EDM 323 rear garnish, EDM spoiler, EGT sideskirts, MX-3 seats, GTX steering wheel, EGT glass sunroof, WRX hood scoop (functional!!), and other things that take too much space to list.....
TO DO LIST:
EDM/JDM rear bumper
EDM/JDM power folding mirrors

well, if i decided to go with the gtx motor, how easily could i get it and what do i need for the swap? i imagine the ecu, tranny, wiring harness(which ones), and of course the engine. how rare is the gtr motor? i hear this all the time. would it be easier for a KL-swap? BTW, thanks for all the input!i hate being broke!Comment
