Has anyone tried to use a Mazda 3 MPS motor in one of our bad boys? I'm thinking of trying it though if someone knows more than me and can offer any advice that'd be sweet.

My main concerns are the AC piping behind the exhaust where the turbo would sit and the drive shafts -> hubs (not in order of priority! haha)

I figure standard block should need little to no modifications to the engine mounts/mount points.

Side note: I'd say one would lose dash entirely or some features with Mazda computer running it but lets face it, PI or MoTeC would be the way to go

Oh, the reason I'm suggesting this is 100% more torques, 75% more kW's and it is 25% lighter than a Mazda 3... The kicker is it is a "factory" engine so it should be reliable!
