Hi me again LOL
Sorry but i would like to see if you guys can help me out...
The 93FD i have has apparently had a new engine( a 96) is there any way of knowin if it has been done as dont have the paperwork.......
have they just dropped a 96 engine in or rebuilt it ?, compression test is a good idea to give you a clue

Thanks pleased myself with her,slowly changed since i got it.
Must be a number on the engine to identify it,sure someone on here with more knowledge than me (NOT hard to do) will be able to tell you where it is
the ECU changed from 8 to 16-bit in 96. Not sure when though. THis would require the engine/ecu/dashloom to be replaced and isn\'t a trivial job IIRC.
k, so how would i know by lookin as this is my first one and im not a master as you chaps are LOL
check ecu code to see if its a 96 spec ecu...if the code is n3a7, then i think its an 8 bit
SORRY to be a pain but where will i find that code on the car........

At a guess it\'ll be on a label on the ECU. :)
The ECU is behind a kickplate in the passenger footwell - left hand side.
THANK you, i will go and have a little look LOL

English would be good:Hammer Pip is a top guy, you will not go wrong with him.
You could check the Engine number to your Log book?
The number is found on the top of the Front plate.

I think, roughly translated, he meant...
QuoteHello Gents, first post here and I\'d like to get your advice on quality sources for a rebuild. please excuse the thread hijacking!
I\'ve been in contact with WGT in Cheshire, does anyone know if they have a good reputation?

I\'d imagine they\'d have just stripped and swapped out the 2 blocks; changing looms, ecu etc would be a pain?
yeh iv spoken to pip his prices are actually quite good. plus he\'s done that 450 whp demo car which is pretty mint. which to go for street port, race port or bridge port. Herd cars that have bin bridge ported MY GOD they idle rough!!! wana get all parts myself part of the trade but want all mazdaspeed bits....problem is who can get em?

Unless you\'re absolutely sure street/extended (which I guess is what he calls \'race\') port. Possibly a half-bridge.
Full bridge is not great for a road car unless you\'re seriously hardcore as some of the guys here are.
I\'m a wuss and going for large extended porting on my new engine.
Thank you guys.....
