i just bought a mazda 323 as a winter beater…lol its slow as shit,POWER 87 @ 5200. TORQUE 128 @ 2500…anywasys i seen that there is a jdm/uk motor a 1.8 4 cylinder turbo engine. Also the Mazda 626 jdm KL-ZE produces around 200 HP @ 6600 RPM. i can put this in, but i would way rather the 4clyinder turbo. If anyone knows anywhere i can get this motor from would be great, yea i know its a winter beater and a p.o.s but i gotto be driving with more then 87 HP WTF! LOL. thanks anyways. ---

It’s from the 323 AWD turbo version I believe. Honestly though. Why does it matter if it’s just being used as a winter beater? Why waste moeny like that on a winter beater? $0.02 ---

call me bud. Ok I am a mazda guy well was. lol. The best engine for that car is the 1.8 turbo but it’s not cheap, you can go KLZ but that swap is not cheap too. You can get a MX6gt engine it is a 2.2l turbo. Now the down fall, They use a VAF system and you can not hook up a SAFC to tune it, you will have to get a chip ecu and it still limits you, or you can go Mega Squirt.
