my 323hb motor swap
so i motor swapped my daily driver. its nto turbo its jsut n/a but its all stock parts. which when i get teh bugs worked out will be a nice reliable car i hope. the car comes stock with a b6 = 1.6L sohc 88 crank hp. so i swapped it over to a bp = 1.8L dohc 130 crank hp. not a drastic change liek when i boosted my escort but still rips good enuf for daily use.
engine mods
- 1.8L dohc
- 95/96 stock 4-1 header
- g-series tranny
- jdm gtx stage1 clutch
- jdm gtx flywheel
clean and simple.
here are a couple pics.
old motor
cleaned up the ol' engine bay.
swapped engine harness and ecu. old is on top new is on bottom.
new motor going in
new motor in!
i still need to biuld or buy a better intake. along with work out some coolant issues. fan is not running like it should which is causing it to heat up.
here is my cardomain garage if you care to look.
