Question about 1.8L engines
Ok, i heard that Escord GT(1.8) has the same engine as mazda protege, and I also heard that Kia Sephia(1.8) also carries same engine. Has anyone done resarch on this topic, because i am having realy hard time locating an Protege ES engine.
|
I believe that except for minor differences which shouldn't really matter yes they are the same.
|
it's the same thing. The early 90s EGT engine is a bit different visually though.

1.8L engine swap
My question is, would kia's, or escort's engine fit in as easy as Proteges ES engine for the 2nd gens.
|
My car is a 97 sephia (look at my sig :))
The EGT stuff is a bit different... but it should still work. As for engine swap, the sephia engine should bolt right into a 2nd gen ES bay, just as if it were a protege engine. |
what about gauge cluster? if the ecu and wire harness is differen't how would you get your cluster to work?
|
how about getting some well detailed pics of the engine bay (close up and more than 2) and some pics of under the dash ,,,....
