billzie Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 JDM Mazda GTX 1.8L DOHC Turbo motor complete I have had this motor in storage for a while now but it ran when removed from the Protege, I was going to install it in my Mercury Tracer LTS but I just have never had the time or space to do it. Just like most JDM engines this one probable had about 40-60,000 miles on it when imported, and had less than 500 miles on it in the Protege. This motor will swap into similar chassis cars such as Protege, MX-3, Escort, Tracer, and into other like-chassis cars with a little more work like the Ford Festiva. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f341/billzie/Items%20for%20sale/GTX1.8DOHCturboengine7.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f341/billzie/Items%20for%20sale/GTX1.8DOHCturboengine6.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f341/billzie/Items%20for%20sale/GTX1.8DOHCturboengine5.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f341/billzie/Items%20for%20sale/GTX1.8DOHCturboengine4.jpg Engine is located in Athens, OHIO 45701. Other parts needed for install are also available separately (ie, Haltech ecm, FMU, BOV, FMIC, MSD ignition and coil, etc) Engine as shown in pics $700 obo.

billzie Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Drool. As a former festiva owner I fine this Very cool. Yep, I've seen a few BP-t powered Festivas, quick as all get out. no shit..where was this when i had a aspire to drop it in uummm, Aspire, now that's an ultimate sleeper with this engine. Rob looks like it was in athens....... Yep I'm in Athens, it's not a bad drive to Col, I do it all the time just to get to pick-n-pull. Also, when you consider that these engines can be well over $1200 + shipping from Cali, Miami, or Canada = my deal is sweet. I want the car with it! GTX > * for ice racing! AWD Proteges can be had for $500, drop in this motor and YIPPEE! I hope this motor finds a good home, it deserves to be driven. Thanks, Bill.

Twistedrx7 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 1gen drive line into a 3rd gen car...has not been done..and may not be worth it. Maybe because there is the 1.8l NA engine available for the 3rd gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 bolt right into a aspire and have 5 gears... chip it, up the boost, little spray and this would be a easy low 12 car..with traction anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 festy is lighter and better looking with the few bolt on's and the aspire stuff act's as a upgrade instead on barely enough as on aspire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billzie Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks for all the good comments, now let's please get my engine sold. Keep in mind, I also have about 95% of all that is needed to get this swap done, I'm just not posting it all to give the buyer a chance at taking it or not. If I posted all the other stuff, I'd have a lot of folks wanting the individual parts, and I just don't have the time to do that right now. When the engine sells and the buyer doesn't want the other stuff, then I will post it for sale, most of it is NOT BP specific stuff and will sell easily I think. Thanks again, Bill.

billzie Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Sorry for any delay in answering em/pm, my daughter just got out of Childrens and I wasn't online for a while. Just a FYI, these engines go for about $1100-1500 from importers and then you have to pay for shipping from them (plus import duties if getting from a Canadian shop). Thanks for your interest.

2pointslow Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 would this drop into a focus with some work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billzie Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 would this drop into a focus with some work? Yes, not a direct bolt in but some early focus has the 2.0 SPI engine from the 3rd gen Escorts/Tracers (97-02) and those engines were basically the same as the 1.9 SEFI engines in the 2nd gen Escorts/Tracers and all 2nd/3rd gen Escorts/Tracers share the same engine mounts, trannie cradle and mounts, etc, and this engine fits those cars. It'll go, but just like any other swap there is a lot of work that is needed, but this wound not be in the impossible category. I still have the engine but if I don't get a buyer kinda soon I'll probably part out the turbo stuff and use the block/head for my DD. Thanks for looking, Bill.

96s10 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 damn, wish I didnt sell my gtx a few months ago or I wouldve bought this. Definitely a great deal, when I was looking for the exact same motor I couldnt find one under $1500 plus around $500 shipping fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM Mazda GTX 1.8L DOHC Turbo motor complete... Other parts needed for install are also available separately (ie, Haltech ecm, FMU, BOV, FMIC, MSD ignition and coil, etc) Engine as shown in pics $700 obo. Not quite "everything", but darn near. This combo ran in the donor car but needed tuning and finish work for stuff like the IC piping. Most of the big $ stuff I still have. Let me know, thanks for looking, Bill.
