take a look at the little hose coming out of a intake hose, the one which passes next to the place where you put oil in engine, that hose is on a different place, on my engine it is on a left of that oil thing (i just cant remember the english word) and on the other engines it is on the right! so, WHAT THE HELL IS IT??? IM REALLY PISSED ON MYSELF, I HAVE THAT CAR FOR FU*KIN 13 YEARS AND DONT EVEN KNOW ITS HORSEPOWER OR ANYTHING!!!!!!! PLEASE, EXPIRIENCED PROTEGE MASTERS AND EVERYBODY!!!! WHAT IS IT?????

I'm pretty sure that's the B6 engine you find in U.S. 323 hatchbacks.

According the the Protege FAQ (see link top right)


Horsepower: 82 @ 5000rpm
Torque: 92lbs/ft @ 2500rpm

Yeah that's the 1.6 SOHC the same as the 323 and kia sephia's.

MazdaMadness June-2nd-2003 12:34 AM

so, im the slowest here! damn!

celi85 June-2nd-2003 04:22 PM

yep, thats the 1.6l SOHC.

BTW, the hose that runs from the valve cover to the intake tube is for crankcase ventilation. :)

Protege is just a name! Whatever you call it, it's the same car! :) So the engine is a little smaller ;) . U.S. market cars usually get only the larger engines, except for the exotic ones like the BPT and stuff.
