    the bpt is a 4cyl.. there is a gtx bpt wich i believe is 180hpish, then there is the godly gtr bpt wich is 210 hp, u can pick up a gtx front clip of ebay wich will have everything u need for the install for about 2400 shipped, throug raceup.com everyonce and a while u will see them put up a gtr.., and they go for 2900 shipped i think... ( or u can get lucky like adam.,(boostedpro)) and buy a gtx and have a gtr shipped 2 u lol, .. when u speak of hte v6 u are most likely talking about the klze, wich is the JDM mx6/mx3/probe Gt engine. wich is rated at about 200hp, for that swap u will need the suspension and the subframe i believe from a v6 mx3... , all of those options are pretty badass tho,

      i went to raceup.com, all i saw was text, so i am assuming that they do not have one in stock, thanks for the link though.

      i will keep an eye on that site, any more input out there?

        yeah if you kick around on this sit for a little while. with time comne experience, and experince = wisdom. the BP is probably your better bet. you can turbo it. also if you find a v6 mx3 let us know we can guid you throught the steps of a 2.5L v6 swap.

        i still say you research the GTX 323 swap.
        When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

          is the KL-ZE an american mx3 engine or the japanese one? if not, does the NA mx3 engines just swap over? how many whp do those push?

            the regular MX3 V6 only has a few more hp than the BP.
            1.8 V6 = 130hp?
            1.8 I4 = 125hp
            = not really a swap to consider IMHO

            The KLZE is the JDM 2.5 V6 from the Japanese MX6, 200hp

                i decided that i am going to go with the BPT. is it a str8 swap ? ill poke around for a guide to the swap, but feel free to post them here too incase i can not find it.

                also this lightswap thing here should work on a 92 pro correct? the mounting ext looks the same. but it says 94 pro.

                        second thoughts

                        after poking around the site, since i had some spare time.

                        i been searching for about 3 hours at the time of this post.

                        ok let say i go cheep right off the bat, and get me a BP/just a DOHC motor,
                        i failed to find the info for the swap, i would imagin it would be basicly a drop and bolt proccess. same trans and all ? ( please feel free to post a link to the posting, or just ideas for the search title ) can i add a good turbo onto it in time? or should i just go BPT ... i dont need the HP now its going to be a long project something to pass alot of time =) or should i go like a klze the swap should cost about the same? as the bp. and i can turbo it corect? as well as NA tune it?
