Turbo 323?

[charles]

It's probably a VJ-11, not a VJ-20

Hey man...I have an 88 323 wagon with the standard B6 motor. Let me know what they want for that B6t motor and I'll drive down there and get it.

not even a VJ-11. i have a VJ-11 on my probe. and i know the GTX compressors are smaller. what i would do, is take the turbine and get a 87-89 thunderbird IHI compressor (vj-17) thats a very nice, fast spooling turbo good for up to 20 psi.

NP FatDaddy. The car is definitely a find. I'm pretty sure most of the mods that are done to the 323GTX's apply. These motors are apparently very easy to get over 200HP and are reliable to boot.

Performance Buyers Club in Chantilly, Virginia has a yellow 323GT sedan. Son of a b**** is in pretty good condition and is used for advertising products for Miata's/Protege's etc. I'll try to find a pic of it.

Xelderx - that swap would be hot!

I believe it used a VJ-14 hairdryer. See the link below. I think it has some insightful info in it. Look at the price on the upgraded turbos...OUCH!

tight man thanx for all of the info!

 

[Fatdaddy]

xelderx-I will see what they want for the engine and let you know. I am only interested in a donor turbo for my Civic.

And thanks for all the info guys. You've been very helpful. Most of the guys in the "other" forum are pricks.

Here's a pic of the 323GT in my area. This is the one that Performance Buyers Club uses for advertising. The owner told me there are plans to put it on the track. I think she's a looker, advertising aside.

that is awesome. where do u live?(omg)

 

[igdrasil]

323's are fast, specially the hatchs

we have one doing 10secs
and 2 just released, home mechanics:
1 with a FSDE Turbo engine with forged internals and microtech doing 11sec
and 1 with a millenia engine swap.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

ah u lucky bastards with your turbo 323's and ur turbo proteges and all of that cool stuf

 

[Fatdaddy]

Ok, so I was wrong, which changes the whole thread. I went back today to look around the junkyard and saw the Mazda again. It was an '87 Mazda 626 GT turbo. What do you guys know about this?

 

[charles]

LOL... not all that common... but the motor isn't particuarly special.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

iirc its the same engine as the b2300i ? possibly b2600i...not loved much
