Yeah sure, do it tonight. It's definitely not the 90bhp engine or the engine code would start BP and I did sort out the loom using the B6 wiring diagrams. I think this is a case of incorrect internet forum posts. I thought my car was BP when I bought it because it was a '95 car so probably other people have too and assumed the B6GP was for the later 90bhp engine.

OK I'm doubting myself now!

You know what! I think your right it's a 90bhp! I'll check the wiring diagrams I used for injector outputs but I have a feeling it's sequential! Good job I've got that 1.8 engine sat there!

It's a 90bhp. I believe you can turn it into a 115bhp as you say by batching the injectors but needs cam change to make it work correctly I think although my engine is 9:1 not 9.5:1 like the earlier engines. Hmmm!

As far as know you need to change the cams, pistons, and ECU to convert it to 115bhp spec.
A heavy head skim might have the same affect as changing to the higher compression pistons. I do belive the 90bhp version is the engine of choice for turbo applications though |

The 115bhp 1.6 was dropped by 1994 when Mazda introduced the 1.8 BP engine. AFAIK only the European market had a 1.6 offering (the 88/90bhp) from 1994 on. The BP engines are all 1.8, all the 1.6 Mazda B engines have the code B6.
It's lower CR will lend itself to charging, however, I believe things like the piston squirters were removed when the 90bhp unit was introduced, which makes them less suitable. The majority of charged 1.6s I know of are 90-93 based. |
