Hey guys, new to the site, but not to proteges....i'm a member at protegeclub.com and toprotege.com....anyways...
I've got a 1992 Mazda Protege SE with the SOHC. I've got 300K on the engine and it's basically dead because of reasons which are too detailed to get into...
i've been looking at the KLZE swap but i am thinking it will be too much money for me right now...i'm a student and i'm already in debt right now....anyways..i've come across a bpt and need to know what kind of changes will need to be made to my car to make it work....
..i've heard that the BPT has great potential....I'm thinking maybe look at the BPT and use my stock ecu for now.... i can always upgrade it later....and just find a tranny from a GT or Escort .... could i use the same clutch from the AWD tranny?
A stock engine is gonna cost around $300 - 400 dollars anyways....so spend a few more bucks ($455 for the BPT ) and then say $350 for the tranny and around $400 on the install and few parts (cap, rotor, plugs, wires, filters, fluids,etc...) and i'm looking around say $1500 for a BPT...a lot better than over $3000 for KLZE with near same results....
I'm in need of a new engine in about 2-3 weeks so i have to decide if i should go with the turbo or not...
any input would be great
