(thought) Well, I did a search and found the XR-2 has a B6T, which is the turbo'd B6. And it has 300cc injectors. My dilema is I have access to a exaust manifold and turbo from aXR-2 and want to mildly turbo my 2000 LX. What is the engine code for my DOHC 1.6l in the 2000 lx, will the exaust manifolds bolt up, and will I need to run a ballast resistor as on the SOHC 1.6's that have a 230cc flow rate? What is the wastegate boost pressure on the B6T XR2 set at? Thanks in advance for the help, and sorry if I missed any obvious links. I am new to the Protege.

the Capri/323 uses a B6 series engine, the protege uses a ZM series engine. the manifold and other components between the engines are not interchangable, sorry!

Doh! I suppose the Miata 1.6 turbo is hopeless now too. Oh well, time to be innovative. Thanks for your help. (headbang)

click the "hiboost" link in my sig and look at the turbo kit for 1.6 liters
