    A little education

    I found out what a B3 and a B6 are, but could someone tell me what a BP and a B6T is, and also any other related abbreviations, so I won't feel kinda dumb reading some of these threads?

    Thanks

    B6T is the Turbocharged B6 motor that came out of the Mercury Capri XR2.

    The BP motor is the 1.8L out of a Ford Escort GT.

        Thanks, I sincerely appreciate the info. I thought the T stood for turbo, but I wasn't sure.

                The MX3 had an option where you could get a tiny 1.8 litre V6. Wikipedia says it was the smallest production V6 in the world & carried the "K8-DE" nomenclature. The V6 engine was rated at 130 HP. That'd be unique: a V6 Festiva.

                Wikipedia lists the rated HP for the engine variants as:
                BP 132 hp
                B6-T 147 hp
                BP-T 179 hp
                BPD-T 206 hp
                K8-DE 130 hp (the V6)

                Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva.

                        I thought there was a B5. Maybe Im wrong. What was in the GLCs?

                        Edit: Found it! 85 - 89 GLCs had a 1.5 liter B5 rated at 73hp
