[EUT]AoD Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hey guys, (and ladies if applicable) My name is Mike, I'm from www.escortunderground.com. We are doing some research into a possible engine/transmission swap and are requesting some help from the IS300/Altezza owners The 91-96 Escort GT runs on a Mazda BP motor. The same block that hooks up to the new Miata 6 speed transmission...the same 6 speed in your cars. :) I am looking for motor mounting and transaxel mounting points. Any pictures with any kind of info would be GREAT. Thanks in advance you guys. Let me know if you have any questions. --Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[EUT]AoD Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 thanks guys, I'll check out LOC UK. You gave me good info, I didn't realize the IS200 was the actual model with the 6 speed...is that the Altezza or something different?

chippiestu4 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 the IS200 has a six speed manual box, as does the altezza. the engines are different tho, the IS200 has a 1G-FE 2.0ltr in line 6 lump, and the altezza has a 2.0ltr 4 pot. power wise, the 'tezza pushes about 210bhp, and the IS200 pushes about 153bhp. Basically, the cars are identical, apart from the engine! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
