Fe3

Ok I did a search and I posted a thread a while back. But my question was not really answered.

How much work would I have to do to put a FE3 in my 93' 323?

I read up all that I could and here is what I have concluded:
(correct me if IM wrong......)

Since a Miata can fit the FE3, theoretically, shouldn't the 1st gen 323, Protege be able to do the same?

If I were to put a FE3 in my 93' 323, what all would I need?
I know I would need the motor, MP3 tranny, ECU, axels, and probably everything else under the hood of an MP3, so it will fit up.

I would just love to see a 2.0L DOHC FE3 1st gen. and I know money can make anything happen.

Anyone got any ideas?

I know that it is probably smarter to go with a BP since its a bolt on, and go from there, but I just cant get over the stock hp and torque. Few minor mods and you get alot more than a BP.

Yes... FE3 is very sweet, I almost did the swap in my Probe but decided against it because its just to much.

As for putting it in your 323, its much to tall and for the money it would take to have a reliable FE3 you could have BP in the 12's.
