Hi all, I've put a B6T in an MX3..... I bought the engine from Corksport but it looks like it was short an IAC valve... hence the poor idle! (Thanks to Bob...
... There aren't many choices. I think I'm going to try out a set of DMS- 40mm because I can't afford the DMS-50s. On the downside they're expensive. -Michael ...

The Vj11/14 is good for 200-210hp or so. The key here with the 11 side is the boost will not drop off at redline like the stock turbo would. With he stock...
The IAC (BAC) cost about $800 from the dealer. Try to find a Capri turbo in a junkyard and get the valve if you can. Maybe a list member has one FS. Greg...
Cathal, First of all - I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the same thing as you...my appologies if I'm not. If you have an early B6T (85-87 - the boxy plenum and...
My brakes died. So its time for the 929 upgrade. I have the brake booster now I need the 929 MC. Is it off a non ABS or ABS 929. I don't think it makes any...
Non ABS one. FYI, I tried my '90 RX-7 turbo master cylinder w/ABS on my GTX and it's pretty much a drop in replacement. Unfortunately the RX-7 M/C isn't as...
The RX7 is a 15/16 (23.6mm) bore. Its stroke starts higher, and like you said ...it is a drop in unit. A little manual pipe wrangling, and the pedal sits...
... The elbow is not the same as a VJ14 but it's said to be the same as VJ11. I tried to fit my VJ20 to the VJ14 and can confirm it doesn't match up. I can...

Terry, are you sure its a ABS booster needed??? I could not find a Mazda of ford 1995 that has ABS. I ended up getting a non ABS 1996 Protégé one that looks...
I am now in a deep search for either a VJ16 or VJ17 for my B6T. I know Corksport and Reichracing and road race engineering can get them but with that $1000+...
I grabbed the brake booster from a 96 tracer, automatic. Not sure if it's ABS or not, but it looks exactly like the one in the dust devils pic... -Doc ... ...
OK, You guys have pretty much talked me into trying this setup. Now the question is, where do I get one and how much do they run? -Doc [Non-text portions of...
If someone has a picture of the VJ14 or VJ11/14 hybrid please send it to Michael Richards. I don't know why he thinks the VJ14 and 11 has a elbow off the...
The MC was about $120 from MSM, if memory serves me correctly. Also, make sure that you have the U-shaped bracket on the end of the Brake Booster from the...
Greg; Just before the postings of VJ14/VJ11 hybrid topic, I got the opportunity to get a VJ11 off a Mazda 626 GT that was being scrapped for free. I unbolted...
Turns out I was wrong. I took the elbow off the VJ14 and sure enough the VJ20 one does bolt up. It's the VJ23 and VJ11 ones that are oddballs. 2 of the holes...

I think we have a "word description error" here. What you call elbows I call downpipes. When I hear elbow I think of the elbow that bolts to the VJ20...

I know others have reported problems with this... My LCA bushings were shot and every time I hit boost the car would pull to one side or another. So I went to...

I'm about to install this with the brake booster into my car. Are the brake lines a direct bolt on to this MC, or do I need any additional hardware like banjo...
... Go up at the nut from underneath. Open the underside of the area between you and the captive nut. Put the new nut in by finger, run the bolt through,...
... I needed to replace all the flare nuts with longer ones as well as obtain a plug as the MC I got had an extra port on it. NAPA carries all of the above. ...

George Barrett, I have the BPT and B6T clutch assemblies to include the flywheel side by side. The steps are different but the B6T assembly will work with the...
Had these in the car until today, when I finally scored a set of the MPV ones from the U-Pull-It yard. The 626 ones are a direct fit and work well. They...
