straight drop in

same engine, minus the turbo

 

[Mazdabator]

so the harnesses and wiring are all the same?

 

[mp3-79bronco]

yep every wires the same.. so is the engine... only difference is the turbo

 

[speed1016]

yep all the same, minus turbo and upper oil pan. Block wise the same

 

[gimpo2]

there are a few differences that aren't really part of the block. If the MSP has a longer oil filter screw on thing for the oil cooler to fit. and the bearing support plate has a hole for the oil return line.

oh okay cool thanks guys, i dunno when you say same engine, that means that the MSP motor is just fast because of the turbo? so w/o the turbo it would have the same torque and HP as the stock motor?

basically

yes, EXACT same motor in the MSP just add turbo.

Search and u'l find more answers.
there's been many threads on this b4.
basically what you should prob do is just get custom turbo or go oem turbo w/ upgrade parts.
cause it'll be alot cheaper and produce more ponies. than the oem one.

so it is worth it to swap motors? or it it just better to get the MSP turbo and focus on internals??

Keep P5 motor....

 

[dxaveP5]

all depends, if the motor is cheaper and lower mileage than ur current engine, id say shooot for it, but if its got higher miles or costs more, then just boost it with msp parts and upgrades such as fmic, ecu, etc..
