Engine fitment for 2.0L

[ddogg777]

Easy question for the smart ones. Is the 2001 MP3 ES 2.0L engine the same as the 2002 P5's. I'm looking at one to buy....thanks.

 

[mp3moose]

Umm, yes same engine. But why are buying one, did you blow yours?

I dont wanna sound like an ass but did you do a search.

 

[ddogg777]

Okay, R2Di2c2Do, I spend way to much time in these huge forums as it is....
I didn't want to waste time searching for the answer when all I needed was a yes or no, thanks mp3moose!! And no, I haven't blown my engine but I will be going turbo so I might want to get a used one to strengthen...thanks!

the 2.0 liter in the Kia Sportage is also the same engine - PLUS - it is ALL iron and has been thought to be able to handle more punishment than the version in our cars.

 

[changedman]

the KIA is the same??? how the ****???????? weird!!!

 

[Captain KRM P5]

yeah, its crazy i know! but the FS engine was in a lot of different cars - i had a list, i'll try and dig it up when i get home from colorado.

The Kia engine is an FE, if I am not mistaken, and the Protege engine is an FS. ALSO, the engine in the MP3 is the same with the exception of the intake manifold.

 

[Captain KRM P5]

i thought for sure the later Sportages were equipped with an FS series - I might be mistaken, but I'm not going to drive around asking Kia owners to open their hoods to prove myself right

The engine / tranny combo is still on ebay for $300 I think

 

[ddogg777]

Nope, he has a reserve of like $900 or so.

 

[ddogg777]

If I didn't have to pay $300 shipping I would probably consider it.

so instead you took upon a selfish act to waste everyone else's time?

^^^ Yeah, because I'm sure it took so much of your time to load this thread and reply with your worthless comment...

False judegement there buddy. And you're a senior member!? I did a quick search (5 min) and could not find that exact answer so instead of wasting time on a yes or no question I asked it! That is what forums are for and I got the perfect response...until now! Besides, I am sure someone else would like to see a current post rather than have to search around. Thanks to those who helped and I am now unsubscribing from this thread...can't take the heat! ouch it burns!

Just thinking about it brings back some horrid memories.
