FS-DE engine build

[MazdaManiac 787]

Hi I just bought a 2002 mazda protege5 and was wondering about the motor Ive read that it can be push N/A up to 190hp. I'm building the car for more of a circuit car and its gonna be my daily driver do you guys think this is possible? If so how do I go about it the engine has 118k miles on itatm.

Hey I see ure in NY....I've never personally heard anyone pushing that much NA power to the wheels on the protege. Anything can be done with enough money I suppose. You would have to look into high compression Pistons, cams, port and polished heads, a standalone, exhaust, cold air intake, headers,injectors and the list goes on....making the protege reliable would be another topic for u also.
Another alternative ( and slightly cheaper) would be turbo....but that's not what you asked

The highest rated NA FS-DE I know of was Installshields old build. I believe he was just over 190hp but like stated before it was custom everything and he did a lot of research to get that done. Not to mention he is a mechanical engineer.

 

[Preferio]

he is a mechanical engineer.

That makes total sense based on some of the technical information he mentions in his threads.

Yeah, I've talked to him about it before. He definitely knows his stuff, kind of wish I was part of the forums when he built his last P5 and was more active on the forums.

190 at the flywheel is possible, but expensive.
