Got walked by "1.6L"
 

I hate people who decide to talk crap about my car.. I always hear, "dude you drive a protege they're the slowest 4cyls on the road." Well I told him what I had under my hood and that this wasn't an ordinary 03 ES and he said, "well ok lets race then." So I asked him what he had under the hood and he said ohh its the stock 99 1.6L 4.. Well jackass lied through his teeth... he had a 1.8 FS-ZE.. complete with mazdaspeed headers, B&M short shift and a Custom made GReddy Turbo!! As well as shootin 25 shot of nitrous express.. oh well I admit it, He wasn't kidding when he said I was slow. ahh.. well needless to say I got walked and even with my new blow off valve and down pipe I managed a 14.010@105... Whatever I still beat the punkass with the Jetta who was always ragging on how slow my 99 was.. whateva

lol never trust a 1.6 owner.lol what kinda hp you pushing???

Well I haven't been able to get up to Tampa to run it on the dyno but I'm guessing close to what the SRT-4 is putting out.. I'm guessing around 215 and about 230 pd ft of torque on the low side.. i'm hoping for more.. I'll find out now that it's summer and have some more money to waste..

lol didnt even notice that . yeah good question

I have no idea how it was done.. considering he brought the car in a covered trailer attatched to a brand new Ford F-250 diesel I'm guessing he has some cash to waste..

yeah when they trailer them in its usually a bad thing. lol

you should have told his lying ass to get the hell out of here and you aint racing no trailer Queen

Yea pretty much, I know what's in it.. but I didn't do any of the work because I didn't want to screw it up so I left it to the professionals to do... That and the fact I know NOTHING about FS-ZE engines except they have more potential then any other Protege engine out there... I wish I could be running 13's.. oh yea i forgot to say.. he ran a 13.6@110.. He's going with me this summer to have it dynoed with my car.. haha I have a new best friend and I'm going to learn as much as possible about his car and mine.

isnt the FSZE a 2.0L?

FS-ZE or DE are both 2.0. The FS is kibbles and bits compared to FE3 or BP.

what's the FE3?

It's an older Mazda 2.0L i-4 engine used in overseas Capella's(626), and some other cars I don't remember.

Makes 170hp and 160lb/ft torque NA. Very impressive, especially the torque it makes.

Sometimes regarded as Mazda's SR20DE because of its square 86 x 86 bore and stroke like the and it's strong internals like the Nissan engine.
