if ya don't know...don't speak
thats not what he is asking..... :asshole:
if the new ford/mazda/volvo mazda3 is using the 2.0 FS as a carry-over engine (instead of the 1.6) then is the new 2.3 an FS series engine, and or will it retrofit into the old BJ chassis? simple question...if you know the answer |
the answer is YES and NO.
No it is not a direct swap. YES it will fit if you want to custom fabricate your own engine mounts and tranny mounts. |
so then did the motor mounts change on the 2.0L to fit the new mazda3 chassis
i should say rather did the location of the mounts change on the 2.0L engine to fit in it's new home |
how much hp on that engine?
|
the 2.0L engine in the 3i is NOT the FS-series engine it's a newer Duratec ford deisgn. I made this same mistake also when thinking about it.
Consider the 2.0L engine a de-stroked version of the 2.3L Thurman, the 2.3L is 160bhp the 2.0L is 148bhp |

depends on which 1.8L protege...1st and second gens actually had the same or a very similar engine to a Miata 1.8L (BP)..the 3rd gen Pro from 99-00 had the 1.8L FP-DE |
if we are spliting hairs in the "3rd gen" thread
"hard like rx-7 rotary (13b is it?) in a usdm BJ protege" :) and i had the option of getting a 1.8 in '01 when i got my 2.0lx what's the code for that 1.8 is that the 99-00 engine also ....sorry had to ask...darn pissing contests |

if I remember correctly when I worked at mazda the last gen protege's only had a 1.8 and 2.0L engine....up from the 1.6 and 1.8L engines in the 99-00 range.
