[Moogs]

Hi all my name is Moogs and I am addicted to Mazda.

And I need some help I have a Mazda Miata 1994 model BP26 1.8L APPARENTLY there was a problem and the bearing around the crankshaft shredded and metal got in engine.
1) Looking for a good mechanic that wont rape all the money out of my pocket. (Last mechanic told me $12,000 for engine and trans in Bamboo. Laughed at him)
2) Would love to get my hands on a BPT engine (from what I read MAZTUNE knows all about these).
3)Not rich by any means at all so need help.

ASAP on any of this would be great

ZOOM ZOOM for life

[MAZTUNE]

now the BPT is 4wd but it could be done. I have one coming with a cut harness but you will have to use your RWD harness, with coilpacks and a BPT ECU and airflow which I have. Give me a call at 783-5064 and lets talk. I always wanted to do this conversion. OH BTW we could use the BPT 4WD LSD diff on the Miata rear end and it will work bolt for bolt.

[MAZTUNE]

wda lol nah nah we does just live and breathe mazda whole day. or moogs are you sure its BP26 you have?? BP26 is BPT, BP05 is Miata. it would mark on the side of the head.

[Moogs]

Yeah man maztune it is a BP26 1.8L. Now the mechanic can fix he just has to frabricate new bearings but i not feeling the trust with this guy. Not feeling to get ripped off if you catch the drift.

I dont need the BPT if I cant afford it, for my little BP26 NA was making a nice 152hp. But then again ZOOM ZOOM or nothing.

I just need to know the cost of everything engine, coil overs and all that Jazz I not rich by any means (i tink i mentioned that before) but I like knowing my options.

And I am nt pay $12,000 for something that can be fixed for under $6,000. NEED NEW MECHANIC.

Anyways enough of my rant I need to know ASAP if to stay with said mechanic or go BPT.

wda lol nah nah we does just live and breathe mazda whole day.

No body have pics of the Mazdas at the event Sunday??

[MAZTUNE]

yea where all the pics?? Shiva or Mayank have??

[fringo]

concerning the engine mount, does that engine have a rear mount???? i recently installed one in my laser and it only have one mount on the extreme right of the engine and a front and rear gearbox mount......

[fringo]

Fellas for d longest while I havin a problem finding a rear engine mount . I have a b5 dohc engine and I feel like I goin to be turning over rocks soon to find this thing. If allyuh could help me out I'll really appreciate it.

i recently installed one in my laser and don't recall seeing any rear engine mount, there's a mount on the extreme right hand side of the engine and two gearbox mounts but i wasn't getting any original mount 4 d engine so i had to use a 626 mount (can't remember d model would have to send a pic if thats d mount u talking bout) and it line up jus like d original.

[MAZTUNE]

The rear gearbox mount is also referred to as the rear engine mount.

[Moogs]

Hey Maztune as I told you i fixing my engine fist and then I will check you soon when I want to upgrade. But seeing as I dont want my mechaic to stiff me with some big ass bill give me an estimate on this. He says I have to get a new OIL PUMP, clutch cylinder and frabricate bigger bearings for my crankshaft how much you think all that will cost me.
I used to work southern sales so i know my mazdas hahah the mechanic was tellig me he wwas getting the oil pump from souther sales (1st sign of RAPE) when I can go bobby's in bamboo and get it for less, HE IS OBVIOUSLY CRAZY. (2nd sign of RAPE) making it sound like finding a clutch cylinder was hard and expensive.

[Moogs]

Only thing i happy about is bigger bearing mean more power, when I get back my BABY I will post a pic of my little engine hahaahaa

Fella you now come out from under a rock or what. I had that problem over three years ago. I done fix that and move on to another vehicle.

First off, admitting you worked Southern Sales is nothing to brag about... simply the first step on the road to recovery. Secondly, having worked Southern Sales means you know less than MazdaMig (aka migspeed) about Mazda!

boy you real get on too, if only that turbo was working them gt3 cars would have seen what a good RWD car with exceptional handling could do. 4WD is not everything, them evo and subby men does think so. But look who win eh, Kirk in the FWD honda civic!

[katurbobeast]

moogs forget the bp26 platform its the same sheit as the bp05 except its turbocharged, the internals are the same nothing else special there....use a normal bp05, way cheaper, all u will need a is a h&b 2500$ from the bamboo and convert everything from your rwd BP onto it....and voila.....end of story, alot of money saved......u can build it up after that if u r unterested.......?this is davis btw?

[MAZTUNE]

ka is right actually, but moogs you supposed to have a BP05 platform just RWD but you keep saying BP26 unless somebody in the past replaced your head with one of a BPT.
