Mazda 1.5 vs 1.6 DOHC differences
Hi folks, sorry to post a MX-3 question on a Miata forum but I know the engines are similar and figure I might be able to get some help here since these forums are a lot more active that the MX-3 ones.
I currently have a Mazda MX3 1.6 DOCH engine (1994) which is turbocharged. The engine is currently a bone stock engine and runs around 7/8psi.
I have access to a spare 1.5 DOHC engine out of the Japanese version of the MX3, the AZ-3. I believe the engine code is B5-ZE.
I am considering building this engine to run a lot of boost, my question is will the forged rods and forged pistons and ACL race bearings that are available for the Miata 1.6 DOHC work in this engine? Any other parts you would suggest that I purchase for the engine build?
Please advise.
