So it’s that time of the year when you think, ahh why not...

My 2000 model 323 engine was on its way out and I happened to have a spare bpt familia gtx engine lying around. So after much research I realised that the bj 2000 323 with the "zm 1.6" has an identical block to the b6/bp as they copied the design with some minor differences. What does this mean for me, installing the bpt requires no modifications. All mounts fit, belhouse fits, I even get to use the bj power steering pump and a/c. cheering

So I went along and did it, the only mission was the wiring, so now I’m going from 105hp 1.6 to around 200hp bpt

"Air filter, cooler, exhaust" that's allot better than all of the engines offered to the bj series which I always felt was a let down as the bj has the best handling and driveability

So we get 105hp 1.6, 125hp 1.8 or 130hp 2.0 sp20 and in the states they get 170hp fs-de 2.0 which is really just a sp20 engine with a bolt-on turbo. Not good for more serious power unlike the bpt

Anyway I made a short video, tell me what you all think about it?
