I can get a rusty 4dr 323 with the turbo dohc 1.6, what can I put this in thats easy? How much swaping for a 323 hatch? I dont have alot of time or money to ---- around so no big projects ;) I remember a swap into a ford festiva :8

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

i think you can put those into their trucks aswell. the maszda b2500 i think it is. i forget

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

I think it can go into an MX3 as well but I doubt you'll find a cheap shell.

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

I you can put it in a FORD escourt or a Ford festiva for a wicked power to weight ratio.

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

I know a lot of escort guys throw these in no problems.

Festiva, not so sure about. But escort definitely.

throw it in an escort wagon and call it your parts runner O0

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

the 323 hatch the swap is simple and cheap, you'll want to look into a diffrent tranny if i remember right as the stock ones are pretty shitty

a buddy of mine had a 323 hatch a while back and did a swap.. i'll see if i can get some links from him

cools 8)

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

If it's the b6-t then yeah you can throw it into a festiva. Well, an aspire at least, so probably a festiva.

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

it is a b6-t :y

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

dumbass I don't even own that car anymore, it was in my mad tyte shadow of doom yo with all stock body parts and wheels. Scoot lets keep this one on topic and not about me

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

switch over without problems I guess.

Scott you gotta keep up with the times before you make fun of peoples cars. :P

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

these guys are running 12's with a almost stock b6t in there festivas but you have to build your own mounts :P

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

i guess i will chime in. i currently own an 88 323 gt. now the 4dr turbo sedan was only made in 1988. the gtx awd turbo in 88 - 89. the mercury capri XR2 from 1991 - 1994 used the same turbo motor, the non xr2 used the same dohc minus the turbo. the B6T is a straight swap in 86-89 323, tracer, 91-94 capri, festiva, and mx-3.
the mx3 came with the dohc in 94 - 95, and must use those mounts for any year prior.
the b6t in stock form makes 132 hp and 136 tq. a non turbo version of the b6t was used in the 90-93 miata.

the 90 - 94 protege lx/ 91-96 escort gt came with a 1.8L dohc BP (same in the 94-95 miata, but diff ignition). there was also a turbo version called the BPT that had 180hp in stock form. the bp/bpt will swap into all the cars mentioned. this is the swap most the mazda guys are doing now.
the b6t is noce but the bpt has much much more potential.

go to www.mazda323performance.com for b6t info in the forums

and go to www.clubprotege.com for bp/bpt info.

have fun

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

can you expand on that for me please?

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

i think what hes saying is they use all the same mounts, from 91-95. but thats just what im getting out of what he said.

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

that only as far as swaping the dohc into an mx3. the for any 4cyl mx3 prior to 94 you must use 94 - 95 mounts from an mx3 with the dohc already in it. it makes the swap less time consuming. also the mazda b-series motors will all swap mounting. to put a BP 1.8 in a BF 323(86-89) you use the mounts from a 323 dohc b6.

myself i am looking to get a festiva. i have a 1.8L BP in the garage that i wanna swap in it. with a stock BP in a festiva, i would run the 1/4 between 14.8 - 15.3. thats on a stock bp dohc.

you can also find parts for these cars and motors at www.corksport.com

they make more things for the 90- up 323, protege, escort.

oh and one last thing, if you was to get a festiva, here is the aftermarket. www.festivamotorsport.com

Re: somebody talk to me about a 89 mazda 323 turbo (gt)
 

Didn't even know about that one, I can get one local for 400 but I'm sure he will take half that. Its got 220,000 km's on it runs like a champ. I can get a rust free 4dr for free but I'm not feeling it. I'm thinking hatch or fiesta.
