Mine's 1.6, but I suppose should be the same...
hmm I guess I got my answer. A B8 Turbo is definitely the most rational choice.

Thanks everyone! šŸ˜„

So I bought a 1991 1.6 Mazda Astina 323F (the one with pop-up headlights) and I'm thinking of doing a swap maybe one year down the road after getting all the vital stuff sorted out.

I'm looking at the B6T, but I have a few concerns.

1. Would it fit?
2. Is it carbureted? If not, will the wiring for injection cost a bomb?
3. Will JPJ decline the endorsement because of a stock turbo charged engine?
4. Is it even worth it?

Also, open topic for the Astina in general. Love the look and overall design of the car!

TS still modding? I brought one too with fuel injection turbo ready. Mod a lot of things. Customize absorbers and safety bar.

Cheated as in buying secondhand car and tuning/modding/restoring?
Maybe just personal perspective but here is my very very rough plan:
Car (4k) + Important repairs (8k) + Aesthetics (in and outside, around 3-4k) [also sponsored by lou dao]

As opposed to the Preve I wanted, the moment I buy the car, 10k off market value.

Long run... If can take care I believe secondhand car much more eco, value already kosong  biggrin.gif

Some people have nothing much better to contribute and they drive you into thinking how wrong your decision was. You should follow their ā€œbetterā€ decision. I term these people as c*nts. You do you. More extreme people would’ve bought an Astina just for the pop up headlights alone.

I’d go for b8t straight. More common engine for transplant. But it has been too long since I last did this. It definitely goes into an Astina as I’ve (not personally but the same group of friends when I was younger) fitted it into Ford Lynx and Familia. Both are, by and large, the same platform.

I find Proton more reliable than Mazda, imho.
The only cars I have ever driven that broke down are Mazda and Peugeot.

Yes. Still modding it. Took time slowly mod it. Recently modified bar to hold body.
Now modding it to RX7 FC Savanna lookalike. Not sure successful or not.

Nope. Now only completed the handling of the car. Add on custom metal bar. Left tuning ECU only. Exterior already completed. But now top speed 205 kmph. Still consider good
