EDIT:please tell me it has more than 105 hp.....an if not what is the best damn swap i can get!?

where do u want the hp to be from? wheels or at the flywheel :evilgrin:

trading motors with jesse james... just kidding

well its either a 1.6 or 1.8 litre dohc

basicly 100- 160hp depending if any work has been done. port and polish :laugh: :laugh:

dont call me stupid. (off topic)

but what engine do you have?

you wanna know about your car, but now.......

its simple look and snoop type things.. before i bought my car (simelar to yours 99' protege dx)

i was all over the moter and under it figuring out quite a bit..

first on the motor should say what litre it is on its cam drive cap (thingy)
for displacement your looking for "cc's" right?
i dont have a clue but ask the gurus of this forum sight (macdaddyslomo, roddemusprime)

PM them.. you will get a straight forward information (with a few questions asked)

WELCOME TO protegeclub.com

sorry

are you gonna be cool :bt:

lol yes i will be.

not sure what engine...can i fit 20 inch rims under the wheel well?

20's????????????????????????????????????

LOL u can i guess but imagine the ride.... so damn unconfortable.... i will be gettin 17's in a few weeks hehe

oh yeh here u caint have the total diameter of the rims+rubber exceed the stock diameter by 15mm... yeh shitty laws... so 17;s r best for me hehe

australian cops r :asshole:

i was jus wondering...ima throw some 17's on mine...N1 exhaust....aem intake....an thats all!!!!!!!!!!! :bt:

20's?? Bwahahahahahaahaha

20s? For everyday driving? I don't think so....

most likely a 1.6L engine rated at about 120bhp or so.

Please

Don't

Do

It.

120hp, lol I wish!


Wow...OK on a 99 LX the only engine option is a 1.6L ZM-DE 105hp 107lb-ft of torque...20"s will NOT fit without other modifications,besides who the hell makes a 4 x 100 20"...also if you did fit 20"s what the hel are you going to do ?? Tow it down the road ??
As far as swaps, screw swaps!!!..look at a Hiboost turbo kit....
