Engine swap in the BH Mazda 323F

pablo_tt · Postby **pablo_tt** » April 5th, 2010, 10:19 am

My friend and I are in the middle of an engine swap in my Mazda 323F. We took the engine from the BJ 323F. Nothing major in terms of fitting and placing, however we've hit a snag in terms of the electronics & wiring. What I wanted to know is if anyone had ever done this kind of swap or if anyone has the wiring diagrams for this engine. I have attached several pics for clarification, any help would be appreciated!

Ok, if you can manage to get the wiring diagram from him it would be appreciative or anyone that happens to have the diagram

This white jack came off the dashboard, anyone happens to have the wiring diagram for this one?

The new BJ engine dashboard jack, any wiring diagram for this one?

The 2002 protege manual has diagrams for two engines, the FS and ZM. Is the ZM the American version to the ZL? It looks somewhat the same

Zl-DE manual hard to find but it almost the same as the ZM-DE

Thought so on the ZL/ZM

The only thing stopping me now is that white / black jack in the second set of pictures. Trying for two days now to search for that jack

SOrry for taking so long to respond guys, but the engine is successfully running in the mazda! Just have to neaten up the wires, gas up the a/c and a couple other things. Will upload some pics when the car comes from the painter and other things have been taken care of

I may have to do a swap in the near future too, and I am new to mazda, but i will want a little more horsepower than the original. is the 1.8 the biggest we can fit in the BH 323F?
