I know it not for sale anymore btw

BGSP · 20-07-2010, 03:46 PM

I think there may be a mistake

70NYD · 20-07-2010, 03:49 PM

bridge port = bp in rotary terms

Cosmo Dude · 20-07-2010, 04:04 PM

Even if you were a skilled fabricator and could make all of the mounts etc... I think the Astina would be too heavy for a 12A

use google, its remarkable ey

S373N · 20-07-2010, 04:36 PM

I have searched and have not found any dohc engines including ecu etc nor do I know hat sort of turbo 'kit' I'd need.

Clean_Cookie · 20-07-2010, 08:31 PM

i gave one away to tacety lol!

michael0008 · 20-07-2010, 08:54 PM

haha you guys should move to nz ,theres heaps of gtx motors around and some gtr ones

there was a gtr motor that sold for $1000 awhile ago that had done 60,000km and was mint as

and have seen a bpt around that may km too
i got my bpt for $650 and some sell for 800 with ecu, loom and injectors

also just put the bpt in the bg its nearly a straight swap over,and theres a guide on ford laser to connect the 4 wires that are need to start it

mkid · 21-07-2010, 08:06 AM

i think 7onyd has the best idea if you want to go turbo
the BPT is a BP remember just with a few differentese
plus you could build it how you want
and probly produce more power for less money (maybe)

NaughtyGT · 21-07-2010, 08:08 AM

the BG would have been modified to fit the B6T. Won't go straight into your car. Trying to save you alot of hassle. Also. 3 grand is way too much......you can have my heavily modified BF for that as I still havn't put it together again yet due to no time & funds going towards the Merc bugger it. My point is the GT is worth far more with low k engine, BPT loom, dizzy, injectors, Microtech stand alone, VF10 hybrid, custom pipes. FMIC etc etc. That alone is worth the 3k haha!

Be diligent with your searching dude & patient. There on EBay frequently enough. If you sourced one from Importer. It will be low klm. Not reco'd unless paperwork is supplied. The B6T I landed was a rare find that actually was in great nick. Still you have to be careful

Yay tacety's not dead!

Oh Hai!
my 3rd gear was burning and I thought I might pop in here..

the b6t.. honestly I wouldn't bother the power & torque that you would get out of it isn't all that impressive
I have driven stock B6T and stock BPT powered cars, the BP shats all over the 1.6

plus you would need to customize engine mounts, and change over a heap of wiring to make it work.
there was a forum member over on fl.com who spent alot of dollars getting it into the car (laserb6t)
to be honest, find a BPT engine or even a half cut
it is literally a complete drop in
the only thing that needs to be modified on the car to fit the standard BPT + loom + ecu, is just 2 wires.
Yep!
2 single wires need to be spliced together to make the car run = fuel pump relay as the standard GTX ecu is setup to control 2 fuel pumps out of the 4wd's

and if you know your way around your car, you could have your old motor out and new BPT installed in a day to the point of almost being able to be driven.

if you cannot source a BPT
then your next option would be to purchase BP twin cam engine (a bonus in itself due to no flow restrictions in the head), get your hands on some BPT cams or even get a custom grind
spend $800 and get a set of forged pistons
$150~ on some b6t rods
get a BPT sump or have yours modified
undo some bolts on the block and fit some oil and water feed lines...
aaaand now i'm getting carried away,

I haven't spoken to him in a while but my323 was wrecking his Astina and had a motor for sale

since i've rambled on a fair bit now and probably have confused the crap out of you
a nutshel
b6t = mind boggle for fitment, regardless if it has been fitted to another astina (I'd like to see pics of this)
BPT/D = direct drop in

I've contacted "Clark racing" to get the not engine swapped into mine, and mine into the other one. He said I'd have no car for a week!!
