Hey guys was wondering if anyone could answer my question. I've look all over the net for something like this having been attempted or asked about.
I have a 93 ford probe (2.0l) base model pretty much stock high milleage.
I do not want to buy another car all together.
I want to increase power without having to buy separate performance upgrades and doing all the tedious dismantlement of the engine.
All i want to do is swap the motor out and if need be the electronics and control systems as i know from experience this is easier for me then rebuilding a motor. key phrase being for me!
so here's my question.
Can i swap out the stock probe 2.0l motor with a JDM MAZDA FS DOHC 2.0L from a 98-02 year car and if so what year would be best for turbo applications without a major engine rebuild. i don't mind replacing cams. I also don't mind building a custom wiring harness and installing the control systems needed. I can yank that stuff out of the same car i get the engine from.
I much rather like the probe body style and design. I have big design plans for the sheet metal. but the probe motor seems gutless compared to the protege or 626 motors.
Please help me figure this out. (uhm)
