Description
The (TUR) FORD, MAZDA B6T, E15T, FET, WLAT I4 DOHC, produced between 1989 and 1994, was a sporty compact coupe that blended European styling with Japanese engineering. Under its hood, the Capri utilized a range of engines shared across Ford and Mazda platforms, including the B6T, E15T, FET, and WLAT. At first, these were inline-four turbocharged petrol and diesel engines with DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) configurations, designed to deliver efficiency, reliability, and performance. The Capri’s 1.6-litre I4 16-valve engine was a highlight, offering spirited driving dynamics. A critical component of these engines was the inlet system, referenced under part code PG205, which ensured efficient airflow into the combustion chambers and supported turbocharged performance.
