LOL you tell me I'm misinforming when you spew this crap? right.

Sure you can get a gtx/gtr swap. Good fuckin luck finding one though

AWD???? lets not be retarded ok? Its never going to happen...

I had a MX-3 for a few years, there really isn't that much support for the car and for someone that is looking for the support and aftermarket anywhere close to a Honda the only Mazdas that are anywhere near that are the RX-7's and the Miatas.

And you can't use many Miata parts, that is very false to state. The car may share the same 1.6, but its in a totally different configuration from the Miata. Most all parts will NOT swap over.

Don't try and make the car out to be more than it seems, it takes a LOT of work and money to make it quick and it HAS to involve a swap everytime.

 

ok smart guy, the only difference between the protege bp's and miata bps are that you guys have solid lifters as opposed to hydraulic and your cam profiles are different. Many people swap to the miata head to rev higher. A gtx swap can be EASILY found, if you cant find one you are retarded. A gtr swap is another story. I dont make the car out to be more than it is, i say the car has potential and you make it out to be a POS. I've had my mx-3 for awhile, so dont try to teach me about a car that i know every last nut and bolt about. All the swaps i listed are respectable seeing as the car runs 17s stock and all the swaps i listed about are 15sec and below swaps. Theres nothing wrong with swapping a motor. Oh and AWD has been done on an mx-3 on a few occasions, i'd be more than happy to make you feel crunchy and post the link so everyone can see it and you can look like a moron, or i can PM you the link and you can feel like a moron by your lonesome, you choose.

Wow your such an idiot, i have a spare motor im building from majority of miata parts, i dont know what the hell you are talking about. You obviously know nothing about your car as well as other mazdas, i bet you paid to get your turbo kit put on huh pretty boy? I've said what i needed to say, you post all this false information but when i confront you, you have no information to contradict me. Like i said i have links to back up my claims, you have just stated a biased opinion. Lates

 

fwiw most Miatas have hydraulic lifters, not until 99+ did that change and the only head that would work would be the 99/00 head.

exactly my point, everyone points out the GTR swap and gets everyones hopes up, fact is there is hardly anyone that has actually done that swap because coming across that motor is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Buddy I'm sure I know the car just as well as you did, I used to own one and did several swaps back in the day when the first V6s were first being done and the first BPs were being swapped in. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.

Never said there was anything wrong with swapping the motor, but it is almost a requirment to do so to get ANY power from that car.

sure its been done, but there again its something totally RARE. Hell there has been a 20B MX-3 so thats possible. But it was a drag car, not exactly a MX-3 aside from the look.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but its really a car that has limited support and you really have to be passionate about one to own one and do the work. Its just that all the owners get caught up and try to get everyone else to buy the car and when they do they just get disappointed when they figure out all the work it takes.

 

Did you just listen to a word I said? They aren't "Miata parts". They are BP parts. I could say I built my engine with Protege parts but you're missing the point. The engines are very different. For one the ignition is distributor vs. coil packs, the head flows differently, coolant is circulated in the other direction, the cams are different, the compression is different, etc.

wow I didn't think you were that ignorant, but you surprise me again. I bet I know more about BP motors that you will ever know. And I did all the work to my car myself in my garage genious

 

haha, man i'm done with this debate. I was being brief about the similarities and differences, if i wanted to elaborate this thread would be on a 2nd page. I dont get anyones hopes up, i just am real and tell them the truth instead of making it seem like a nightmare which it really isnt. I really could careless, i just hate the fact that your portraying the car like an idiot. Do you want a cookie cuz you were there for the first v6 swap and bp swap (which i highly doubt)? things have change ALOT since then buddy. I bet you were at lincoln's funeral too huh? Anyways, smart guy i have worked and built more bp's than you know. I mean for god sakes, you know so much about bp's that your only on 6psi and running without an intercooler, a big man you are now. Anyway, i've heard enough, see ya around. Lates

 

oh my god you are the dumbest fucker alive. I didn't say I did the first swaps idiot, but I was around and doing swaps back when they were first being done. For fucks sake can't you read?

What does what I'm running have anything to do with this? I've had big power cars before and don't want another one right now.

Got that BIG guy? How much power you making with that MX anyways? Whats the whole setup? Just curious to see what all has changed since my so called ancient days...

 

haha, im making enough power on my new setup, should yield about 300+whp/tq if tuned right. I can read you bastard and if you say you've "been there done that", please elaborate on what you have done to an mx-3 along with the swaps, keyword being ELABORATE.

 

I helped do 2 kl-03 swaps in a 92 and a 93 as well as a kl-ze swap into a 94 gs. Also did one BP swap into another 94 which was later turbo'd. I didn't do the turbo on that car, but I did the swap. Also helped turbo one of the B6 dohc in a 95.

Is that enough? Like I've said I've done the swaps. I used to be real big into MX-3's back in the day.

Look, I said I'm not trying to be a dick but you aren't the only guy on TR that knows BPs or MX-3s ok?

 

thats all nice and dandy. I never said i was the only guy on TR that knows BPs or MX-3's now did i? Like i said things have changed, ppl are pushing the limits much more than before. Your close minded and false statements aren't helping much for those that might actually like the car and make something of it. Miatas and rx-7's arent the only mazdas worth while like you make it out to be. With that being said good luck on your miata, let me know if you ever wanna run. Lates.
