I forget the exact mileage as this was back in 2009 or 2010, but the original engine had over 150k on it and still ran, but he wanted to run a supercharger and so we spent a weekend tearing it all down. He had the head sent out to a machine shop, but it had a crack and ended up being swapped for an aftermarket head and such.

Ive never been around the BG engine, the B6 and the B6T on the other hand, plenty. As ive owned many 323 turbos, some of the failures ive come across. The most common one on the short nose, the good old worn keyway. Also seen oil starvation, car had one lady owner from new, 66k on the clock, guessing it was caused by infrequent oil changes. The bottom oil feed was blocked, resulting in no oil up top, exhaust cam seized, and the pulley snapped off the end. Thrust washer failure, found them in the sump all mangled up, crank and block had worn each other out. Excessive smoke caused by worn rings, done a few headgaskets over the years on them, will only use Payen ones now, as i found they are the best, wouldnt bother with cheapo ones. The current engine in my 323 came out of an MX5. Long nose crank, paid 99p for it off ebay, local, nobody else bid on it. Rebuilt it in my shed, fitted B6T rods as they're thicker, and adapted the engine, as there are slight differences, nothing major. Ive done around 15000 miles on it since, been sweet as.

I think it's a Xedos 6 (Euro specific 626,) ecu. Beyond that there's nothing else on it. It wasn't even on a compiled list on ProbeTalk as to what it was from. Part of the problem is it's an older style ecu from just before OBDII. So it's unknown whether it acts like an OBDI or OBDII ecu. OBDII ecu's make adjustments to a/f ratio. OBDI VAF ecu's follow a set map, period, based on VAF and throttle. KL47 and KLK1 both have the benefit of a MAF instead of VAF, but, I don't know if they strictly follow a fuel map or if they can adjust like the OBDII ecu's. It might be a waste tracking one down, comparing wiring to the KL47, making it work for 0 benefit. Whereas, 98+ Millenia ecu, is a known quantity, tested, dyno-ed 10-12 hp tq. One guy even turbo-ed without tune to 12 psi, I believe he said 8 psi would be much safer limit. Not sure if he used different injectors or what.

I am building an MX3 BPT swap. Just scoped the engine and number 4 looks terrible. I am going to take it to a machine shop and see if they can do something with it. If they can I am putting in new bearings with CP pistons and Manley rods. Gonna find a NB head for it and rebuild that. Looking for a reliable 250 to 300 hp range. I really look forward to this build.

I saw a parade of a thousand Miatas in Gunma, Japan. I was literally passing them in the oncoming lane for 10 minutes. However, there may have been a truck in the lead towing them all.

No, that was a rail engine.

I'm building a 93 Protege and needed those pistons dammit lol. But hey, how much for the fuel rail? My OEM one got bent by my hoist because I'm dumb..
