2.3liter swap possible ever?
Well with the release of the 6, with the 170hp 2.3 liter 4 cylinder, and the future release of the mazda3 that should incorporate this engine. My question is, would a 2.3 liter swap be possible into the 2002-2003 protege5, or any 3rd gen proteges at that. The N/A 170 usdm motor would be great in my opinion. Yes i know there is the FS-ZE but it will never make the correct amount of power either.

i dont see why not.... why not just throw in a chevy small block v8... not THAT would be raw power...........
|
no
this has been talked about before |
just trade it in for a 2.3 in like 7 years and get a brand new car instead of pouring a lot of money into a new engine for an Old car.
|
so no real reasons like diffrent mounting points or that... just assholish NO comments (*the man, why dont you just close my fucking thread already)
what i was looking for was what the main diffrences were and such, not smart ass comments |
the biggest reason is, stuff face the OTHER way on the engine.... (exhaust, intake)
|
requiring more custom fab stuff i guess if it were done, hmm
intresting |
Andrew,
Edwin is just saying that it probably isn't worth putting one in, but I think yours is a valid question just the same. Perhaps his answer was a little immature, but I think at this point, we've all pretty much tuned him out anyway... :o |
if you can figure out how to cram the axles, tranny, SHIFTER LINKAGE, wiring harness, ECU in.... I'll give you a cookie

If you're going to go that far, you might as well convert the car to rear wheel drive and drop in a Rotary or a well tuned Miata motor.
Now there's an idea... (Yes, I'm aware of cost of fabrication, materials, testing, blah blah blah) A rear drive Protege 5. Cool. |
with all this in mind... an FE3 swap looks like a walk in a park compared to this clausterfawk
