they handle power alot better than the fwd bothers. still can kill them is abused.

chasing 150wkW, then clutch selection is no different to selecting one for your TX3/323.

Back again :-)

I've noticed that the BPT 323 throttle body might not bolt on to the NA8 inlet manifold.

If it Dosent, are the position sensors the same?
From a glance, they are both 4 wire mazda...
If they are no the same tps's does the 323 bolt in to the NA8 TB?

Or another solution besides welding the 323 one to the NA8 manifold haha

Pretty sure the TPSs are the same.

But yeah the throttle bodies are different. A BG8Z TB are the same as a NA6 TB. A BAP1 or P2 TB is the same as a NA8, and a BAP3 is the same as a NB8A.

They are all 55mm diameter butterflies. Just the exturnals and add-ons are different.

Thanks man :-) you have been an amazing help planning this conversion! I'll probably grab one and compare/trial it.

Another one for ya,
Are the sump baffles different at all between fwd and rwd bp's?
If they are will it matter/make any difference if I use either?

So i guess id be better off with bpt or better
Would the lower cc injectors be alright for low boost to begin with?

What is the next step up from bpt ones? Evo or something?

Rx8 injectors are 440cc much better spray pattern being a much later design and drop in replacements (assuming your ecu can handle them) should only cost you about the same as getting bpt ones cleaned.

Aren't you trying to run a bpt computer though? If so won't you need to run pretty close to what it's expecting.

Oh, I've got a set of b2600 injectors which are 325s for memory at home that I took out as I suspected one was sticky at light duty cycles. Also a drop in replacement

if you are moving away from the stock injectors, then getting the newer 4 nozzle versions is the way to go. fuel atomizes better and you get more power and less fuel used.

as above the 440c yellow rx8 injectors would be the next step up. $200 new for all 4.
