hey does anyone make urethane or other performance mounts for the BP engine? i called corksport and apparently mazdaspeed has discontinued their production of them... my engine is flopping around freely as of right now (BPT). hopefully someone makes them because filling my mounts definetly did not work the first time i tried. thanks for the help!
1.8L BP motor mounts?

are you sure you used the correct material/curing procedures?
actually i'm positive that i did it wrong, but there isn't much i can do about it. the stuff i used came in a caulk tube, when i try to get it out with a caulking gun it either explodes out the side or shoots out the back of the tube. i've tried multiple times and it has never worked correctly. if you could point me to a site that would be great (as long as it doesn't involve 3M window weld).

we used window weld with absolutely no problem...unless you can rig some poly inserts, or just get new mounts all together
yea i've heard of a lot of people that said the stuff was great but it just didn't work for me...maybe the caulking gun i used wasn't good enough or something. anyways i ordered some urethane that comes as a hardener/resin from McMaster that should work well.

not wanting to drive stick?
keep in mind fuel management for using a BPT. if you use the BPT's computer, it is not programmed to control the automatic transmission i would think. and if you stick with the stock ECU, it will not properly add fuel for boost.

hmm...i'm kinda lazy lol since my car is a auto rite now...i can change it to manual...but do u think it is possible to twik the BPT to contol fuel management for the auto transmission? wat do u mean the stock ECU will not be able to add fuel for boost?

autos + power = no more tranny. just do it right and get the gseries 5 speed. if you really wanna do it right get the gseries with lsd

g-series? i assume thats the brand??
...and lsd is...??
how much would a transimission conversion cost about? from automatic to manual?

LSD: limited slip differential.
G-series transmission: the transmission model mazda used w/ the BP engines.
"Add fuel w/ boost:" a turbocharger compresses the intake air, and thus the engine is taking in more air than normal. if you have more air, you need more fuel. your current ECU will not be able to compensate for the extra air a turbo will put into the cylinders.
it's probably not feasible to tweak the BPT ECU to work w/ an auto.
check out this FAQ: http://web2.airmail.net/theman/protegefaq/
also, it sounds like you should do a lot more reading before you send corksport (or anyone) a lot of money. i'm not saying not to do the swap, but you'll be better off if you know what's going on. IMO, it'd be easier (and probably cheaper) to sell your auto car and buy a clean 5-speed LX. they're out there. that way you'll have the tranny you need, and you could even sell the engine to make back some of your $$$.

thx man. ur awesome...I was thinking of doing some more research b4 i do anything..
I dun think I wanna sell my car tho I installed new speakers (4) into the car and got a new CD/Mp3 player in there.
I'll probably swap the transmission with a manual I can pick up from another protege? (or does it have to be LX?) I'm planning to get the Map ECU from Corksport and new brakes.
I guess it would be good to get Lsd eh?
do u think the new engine would be heavier than the current one, like I need new shocks or something?

i can't remember off the top of my head which models the G came in. it's in the FAQ. just keep in mind that the model designations for canada are sometimes different (e.g., we don't have a "GT" here...it's called the "ES"). you want the transmission from the 1st gen w/ the 1.8L DOHC engine.

american lx and canadian gt in first gens, es/gt in second gens and all 1.8 & 2.0 turd gens. you want the first gen one

s***, it's so confusing of mazda changing the stupid model names in north america...
we have LX in canada...and it is a 1.8 L
hmm...I think dat should be it...for the 1.8 L, I'm not sure if there is another type of protege with a 1.8 L...
