swapping to a KL is not for everyone though. That's what everyone suggests when they talk about the FS performance. Swapping motors is just avoiding the issue instead of fixing it. It's far quicker to toss in another FS if you blow it than to snag a KL, search for a good wire harness and also the ECU, then wire everything up. I honestly don't see how people are blowing NA motors. What were you using for tuning and how much boost on your other FS? Honestly, if you blow the motor, just snag a junk motor and rebuild it(forged internals). Problem solved, if you blow that, then you suck at tuning..lol. A lot of people over the years have had these cars and they talk about how much the FS sucks, then they either sell it or swap engines. They fail to realize that the FS only sucks if they don't do anything to improve it. Yes, it is limited when stock. But even stock, they can handle quite a bit. But if you really wanted to get power out of it, then there is only one thing to do, build it and be done with it. Don't get me wrong, I do like seeing different things when it comes to the protege, and you ihone, Lewis and another guy on here do have some nice KL swaps. But just voicing my opinion, the average person who blows an engine is more than likely going to get a replacement FS or build a replacement FS. They aren't going to do a complete swap. To me, swapping engines is like getting a different car. Anyone can blow an engine, swap engines and talk about the performance their car has. But in the end, you didn't fix the issue, you just swapped engines
