i have been looking thats y i came on here... i was told from a friend abuot a btpaz3 anyone ever heard of it... and while i was researching i found that u could fit a gsr motor in a mx-3

gsr?....which motor is that?

a lot of people do swaps and dub their mx's "gsr's"

gsr integra motor its called project gsr but what about the bp-t does anyone kno where i could get it at with turbo

I might be wrong on this but I think the BP-T comes with a turbo stock. If I'm wrong correct me please. I would hate to give out bad info.

osaka (http://www.osakajdmmotors.com/) sells bpt's..they are indeed stock turbo....
oh and lilmx...you didn't say wich motor you had..you got a gs or rs?

I always thought the GSR MX3 was an actual production designation in Canada, or some other country. You mean it is just people who swap in an engine and call it a gsr? what engine do they swap in?

klze

a gsr motor is the motor from the integra type R. there was a project called proect gsr but iono what happend to it.... i have a gs... 4 cyl.... SLOW

Thx.... but i couldnt find ne where on that website that showed me the specs on the engine such as hp and tor. and i have another ? what all would i need to convert from frontwheel drive to all wheel drive?

well, to start off, you'd need a driveshaft to go to the back wheels...good luck! That's gonna cost an arm and a leg! Then you need an AWD transmission. That's expensive too! Then you also need a rear and center differentials. Do I need to say it? It's gonna be expensive too!
Unless you have a crap load of money, it's not worth it.

thnx. ya my parents are finally letting me sell it..... i only kept it bc i got it for 200 bucks and its a good car and i just got the tranny replaced but they wouldnt listen n saty i can get a motor and all whell drive tranny.... but its all good im gettin a supra!!!

FF to FR.... how does that put you closer to 4WD?:eek7: besides a FR has less stability than a FF... I personally don't like the Feel of 4WD too heavy, just look at specs. and FF has way too much under... but a good 4WD car, is the mid 90's Subaru Impreza... that boxer engine is a piece of work, low center of gravity and such. my friend has one it's pretty quick..

i couldnt find the specs on the site thats sellin the engine but it said awd tranny with drive shaft

i was goin 85 slammed on the breaks put it in neutral turned hard drifted into the turn then burned out.... IN A AUTOMATIC!!! HAHA

An MX3 to a Supra...is it TT or N/A? Either way, why didn't you get the supra in the first place? It's overall a much better car! Don't get me wrong, I love my MX3...but if someone offered a Supra, N/A or TT in exchange for my MX3...I'd do it! Everything on it is just so much better!

first of all, the mx-3 was $200.00 n i couldnt pass it up.... then my friends dad passed awAY and hes selling his supra so im buying it for two grand... it needs a little body work but besides that its a incredible deal

must be an old supra....
I raced one the other day...In third gear i was in front by at least 2-3 cars

94 supra... dont care if u belive me or not but i dont wanna sell the mx-3 but i have to sooo...... and i just thought about it im not gonna be able to afford the insurance on the supra....=-(

ummm....for the record, the subaru has an AWD...not a 4WD. I just want to make sure you know there is a difference. What I don't like about AWD cars is the fact that when you are going over 80 mph on the fw, the handling is below horrible!

the Subaru I was refering to has 4wd, and is really the same as a AWD... the diffrence between the two is that the 4wd you make changes to by adjusting the LSDs, the AWD is contoled by a computer not mechanically tuned. but general handling charastics are the same and all 4wd and the setup is the same. also you don't have 4wd cars anymore... they are all called AWD with diffrent names aka (quattro) ect...

Does any one kno where the specs for the bpt mx-3 motor is???? i cant find it.....

ok...a MX3 to a supra...why didn't you get the supra in the first place? something tells me everyone in this forum would gladly trade his/her MX3 for a supra...I would.

I was going to but the supra insurance is to high so i got the supra n im selling it...... im trying to make the mx-3 a sleeper but does anyone know the specs on the bpt or the b6..????

Can you turbo the KLZE?

you can...but babyblue doesn't think it would be smart. I still don't understand why...but something about the compression ratio being too high. I kinda understand

Imma feal like a dumbass but how much would it cost to convert the tranny from fwd to awd???

tooo much, just go buy a used Subaru or an used Audi, it'll cost you about the same.... and it'll be lower on insurance.

i think i finally figured out what i wanna do..... well not wanna but gonna do imma sell the supra get the money and im getting a 99 grand am for free with 210 hp.....

I just need to know if the KZHL motor needs a tranny swap with a automatic 4 cycl..... thats what i have

KZHL? huh?

the klze and the bpt type r all come with trannys i just wanna kno if i can use my orginial...

yes for the KLZE, Im not sure about the BPT.

BTW there is no BPT Type-R... its not a Honda engine

true ..there're bpt gtx and gtr but no type R...type R is an acura integra engine (b18c) acura type-r engine (http://www.osakajdmmotors.com/honda/b18c5/index.html)

what exactly is the difference from a type-r and a regular Honda engine. I know they're faster...but what is the actual physical difference?

well what do you mean by "regular" honda engine...physical difference...
b16 are 1.6L, b18 are 1.8L, h22 are 2.2L and so on..all 4 cyl.

yea, Type-R just means the J-spec version typically. The Japanese motors tend to be slightly more powerful.

well type R's are produce here in America...it's not a j-spec engine...
like any other b series engine

i found a btp gsr motor.... but no one still answered my ? if i buy the b[turbo engine can i use my orginial tranny....

i found a btp gsr motor.... but no one still answered my ? if i buy the b[turbo engine can i use my orginial tranny....

BTW did you read the posts...we told you a bpt gsr doesn't exist :nono:

ok.... so your saying i can get the klze motor and use my orginial tranny...... i jus wanna make sure,,,

i've read this entire post from beginning to end and i'd just like to correct somethings on here. a gsr motor for the acura integra isn't a type-r motor. a gsr motor is what they have in the acura integra gsr, that's how it received the name 'GSR'. i don't think that you could fit a gsr motor in your car anyway, from alot of my friends who do motor swaps, they say that when they swap a gsr motor into their civic hatches, they gain power but they are only a bit quicker than a gsr and the reason for that is because the gsr motor was only built for the gsr and the other cars don't have all the wiring harness for that of the gsr motor which would help use all the power that the motor has to offer. if you really want to know what type of motor is best for your car, you should join an mx-3 site and ask there. from what i've researched from mx6.com and mx-3.com about the 4cyl motors to the 6 are too much work but possible. you're better off getting a v6 mx-3 and then swapping a klze motor. alot of people will say that the mx-3 is slow but actually it's pretty quick being stock! my friends drive civics, integras, legends, del sols, eclipses, talons, you name it. only a few can actually beat the mx3 cause my motor is only about the same strength as the civic ex and weighs more than an integra (full weight of cars). which is really good for how fast i can move on highway runs and quarter mile. if i were you, i'd buy that supra then sell if to make off money to put into the mx-3. that's just my thought. i love my 3 and when it comes to cornering, my friends really have to struggle to stay with me. what can i say, i'm just a fan of mazda and all the other cars i've driven just don't beat the mazda. and how much do you plan on selling your mx3 for?

uhhh... I dont think anyone here was actually planning on swapping a honda GSR motor. When we say GSR, it means a MX3 GS (1.8L V6 K8 motor) swapped with a KLZE making it a sort of "type R". So GS-R...
