BP and BP16 differences?

[Phido]

Hi all,
I'm looking for any differences between the BP 1.8 engine and the smaller 1.6 found in ford lasers, i.e. dizzy, crank angle sensor etc.

I've currently got a BA hardtop but want swap in the smaller 1.6.

Reason for asking is I'm planning to build an engine for boost / possibly racing purposes and want to know what I'm in for as far as setting up Megasquirt is concerned.

The 1.6 would put me in a lower racing category which is the reason for the swap.

Thanks for any help

The 1.6 engine is a B6 engine.

The differences can be numerous as the B6 was in lasers and 323s from 87-98, and the BP in 90-98. The 87-89, 90-94, 94-96, 96-98 varients all have various arrays of differences.

Fair enough - I wonder if one of the later versions (94-98) of B6 is identical in configuration to the BP's. Maybe I should ask this at the fordlaser.com site. They have both engines in their cars.

Cheers for the response project.r. Also - I do want the window bushes for my BA but the link didn't work!
