engine swap info
i have a 99 protege with a 1.6 in it and i would like to do an engine swap but i do not know what to swap to. i would like do something with the best performance but isn't going to be an bit#h to do. i probably never should have bought the lx model bu i did and i have sunk way to much money into it to get a different car.i have put a 75 shot of nitrous on it bu it stil isn't quick enough for my taste. i need some help, can anyone help me.

From what I know of there is no higher output 1.6L drop in for a third gen, so in short...there is no engine swap that will not be a bitch...
Your options are still there though... FS-ZE 170hp... FS-DE 130hp... FP-DE 122hp... They will all "fit" in your engine bay, but the cost will be enough to make you reconsider... |
Thank you for answering my question. what all would i have to change to drop one of these engines into my car. Wich one do you think would be the easiest with the most benifits. i really do appericate your help, my car has been all show in the past and now it is time for some beef. A 75 shot of nitrous isn't enough around my town.

I doubt this could be easily done for under $5000, which means you could easily build a fully compressed 1.6L and have enough left over for Red Lobster...But if you insist on doing it PM me or do a search on engine swaps and I will try to find everything you will need... actually I just found this, it is a quick answer but it is directed at your exact car. www.protegetech.com scroll to the bottom of the home page (after you click on the intro deal) and there is a "question of the month" at the bottom...it is your question...I know that site has not been updated in almost a year, but the info is still good... |
Vaughan knows everything. We need him here.
