Mazda E engine
The iron-block, alloy head E family was an evolution of Mazda's xC design. It was released in June 1980 with the introduction of the first front-wheel drive Mazda Familias and Ford Lasers. Some later variants of the E5-powered Mazda Familia and Ford Laser in Japan incorporated a full-time 4WD drivetrain. All E engines were chain-driven, 8-valve SOHC. Notable features include siamesed cylinders, aluminium rocker arms and pistons, thin block walls, and single valve springs - all in the interest of reducing weight.
E5 The 1.5 L (1,490 cc) E5 pushed the stroke to an undersquare 77 mm × 80 mm (3.03 in × 3.15 in) with 9.0:1 compression ratio. It was used in the 1980–1985 Mazda Familia, Ford Laser and FWD 1981–1986 Mazda GLC. It was also fitted to the rear-wheel drive Familia Cargo/323 Wagon in the mid-eighties, replacing the earlier UC engine.[7] This engine produced 85 PS (84 hp; 63 kW) and 120 N⋅m (89 lb⋅ft; 12 kg⋅m) (JIS gross) in Japan and 69–75 PS (68–74 hp; 51–55 kW) and 109–112 N⋅m (80–83 lb⋅ft; 11–11 kg⋅m) (DIN) for export market.
E5F The E5F was a fuel-injected variant of the E5, released in 1982 and available only in Japan. It produced 95 PS (94 hp; 70 kW) and 124 N⋅m (91 lb⋅ft; 13 kg⋅m) (JIS gross).
E5S In certain markets a twin-carburetted, high-compression (10.0:1) version exists, dubbed the E5S. Available for Mazda 323 GT and Ford Laser Sport. For 1982 and 1983, this engine was equipped with two Hitachi DCT306W-L1/R1 carburettors, it produced 85 PS (84 hp; 63 kW) and 120 N⋅m (89 lb⋅ft; 12 kg⋅m) (DIN).[9] Late in 1983, new two Hitachi DCS306-31 carburettors appeared and produced 88 PS (87 hp; 65 kW) and 122 N⋅m (90 lb⋅ft; 12 kg⋅m) (DIN).[10]
E5T The flagship turbocharged, lower-compression (8.2:1) pistons, fuel-injected and non-intercooled variant of the E5 was the E5T. Released in 1983 and available only in Japan, the E5T utilized an IHI-supplied VJ1 turbocharger running approximately 0.5 bar (7.3 psi) to produce as much as 115 PS (113 hp; 85 kW) and 162 N⋅m (119 lb⋅ft; 17 kg⋅m) (JIS gross). Other notable advancements included an integrated knock sensor (supplied by Mitsubishi) and multi-point fuel injection as standard.
This was Mazda's first production 4-cylinder turbo engine and was found in the top-of-the-line 1982–1985 Mazda Familia XGi-R Turbo and Ford Laser S Turbo as well as the early Mazda Familia XG Turbo, XG-R Turbo and Ford Laser TX3 Turbo models. Most of the technological features found in this engine were carried over to the later Mazda B6T.
E5T Carb A strange carburettor turbocharged version of the E5 was the E5T Carb. It was exclusively available in Australia as part of the White Lightning Ford Laser limited-edition package of just 300 cars released in June 1985. The engine started out as a normal E5S and then an IHI RHB52 turbocharger was fitted, setup in a blow-through style, with boost limited to just 5.1 psi (0.35 bar). A modified version of the stock carburettor known as a "Solex 32 DIS (turbo)" was fitted to provide fuelling. A Compuspark ignition system with knock sensor was also added to prevent engine damage if the driver ever used a lower octane fuel than the 97 RON that was recommended. As the carburettors were not boost referenced, they were difficult to maintain and often suffered from float rupture or excessive flooding. Unlike its more reliable fuel-injected counterpart, the E5T carb turbo setup was notoriously difficult to maintain and some cars had the turbo systems removed instead of having them replaced. This engine produced 106 PS (105 hp; 78 kW) and 162 N⋅m (119 lb⋅ft; 17 kg⋅m).

Was down at the garage today dropping some parts off. Sunroof was being done and the only reason this was left till the end of the panels prep as I am trying to source the sunroof seal. This has been a difficult task as I was told it was available from Japan via my local Mazda Dealership, but still waiting for confirmation 2 months on. Took out the 2 Potential Grilles I will be using for the car.... So my Heart is set on the Rare Hella Grille (was fortunate to find a brand new old stock one) and the second is the TWR Grille that came with the TWR KUWE Bodykit....

Managed to source 2 early BD1051 Steering wheels and thought I’ll get one looking mint so cleaned this one up along with the headlamp bases/surrounds. Just for those who don’t know the Chassis Coding for the early 1981-1982 BD is BD1051 and the 1983-1984 is the BD1052. Known as the facelift with different steering wheel (2 spoke), no alloy wheels (came with metal wheel covers) and different front side lights (clear ones).

06FEB2023 I didn’t even notice on the TWR bodykit it was stamped .... Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) was a motor racing team and engineering firm founded in 1976, in Kidlington, near Oxford, England, by touring car racer Tom Walkinshaw. The company initially handled privateer work before entering works touring car racers for manufacturers such as Mazda and Rover. However, TWR became most closely associated with Jaguar, a relationship which started in 1982 with the successful entry of the Jaguar XJS into the European Touring Car Championship, chalking up a number of wins that year. The relationship continued and by 1988, TWR-Jaguar had taken its first Le Mans victory in a V12-powered XJR-9. Further success followed with a Le Mans win in 1990. TWR and Jaguar formed JaguarSport initially to build tuned versions of Jaguar road-cars, culminating in the production of the XJ220 and XJR-15 sports cars at a new facility at Bloxham. With Jaguar bought by Ford in 1989, its relationship with TWR faded and by 1994, JaguarSport had been liquidated, with the Bloxham factory being overhauled for production of Aston Martin automobiles which was also at the time under Ford's ownership. TWR had continued to achieve racing success with other manufacturers, notably winning Le Mans again in 1996 and 1997 in a Porsche-powered WSC-95. However, it was the costs resulting from the purchase of the Formula 1 team Arrows in 1996 that led to the demise of TWR in 2002.

Some more research on the Turbo Version of the BD Mazda 323 XG-Turbo 😉 With the E5T Engine The flagship turbocharged, lower-compression (8.2:1) pistons, fuel-injected and non-intercooled variant of the E5 was the E5T. Released in 1983 and available only in Japan, the E5T utilized an IHI-supplied VJ1 turbocharger running approximately 0.5 bar (7.3 psi) to produce as much as 115 PS (113 hp; 85 kW) and 162 N⋅m (119 lb⋅ft; 17 kg⋅m) (JIS gross). Other notable advancements included an integrated knock sensor (supplied by Mitsubishi) and multi-point fuel injection as standard. This was Mazda's first production 4-cylinder turbo engine and was found in the top-of-the-line 1982–1985 Mazda Familia XGi-R Turbo and Ford Laser S Turbo as well as the early Mazda Familia XG Turbo, XG-R Turbo and Ford Laser TX3 Turbo models. Most of the technological features found in this engine were carried over to the later Mazda B6T.

Been doing some research lately and found this very interesting that back in the 80/90’s a company called KÜWE that were a German Tuning Company that made TWR kits for Mazda. They are based in a city called Essam in Germany and were very popular back then. So I managed to find their brochures for some of the Kits they produced for the Mazda 323 BD & BF models and the RX7, 626 and I thought I need to hunt down a 323 BD Kit……. Anyway look at these. This is a VERY RARE Kit and finding one is probably impossible…………as they were stopped in production back in the 90’s….
