FSDE is the protege engine
pretty much anything with a ZE ending is a japanese engine

the Fe3 was the late 80's turbo Mx6/626/turbo Probe engine

the KL series "KLZE KLDE" would be the V6 engines found in the Probe, MX6, and 626

im wondering on a more defined list ..like this one about toyota

before the dash is just block familys

* B - Dual standard carbs (only used on non-twin cam engines, obsolete code)
* C - Californian pollution control (also most of the world)
* D - Dual carbs but more powerful than -B
* E - Electronic Fuel Injection
* F - Twin Cam (economy). Narrow Agle, Around 22 degrees between the intake and exhaust valves.
* G - Twin Cam (sports/powerful) with multiple sidedraft carbs (unless EFI). Wide Angle, 45 degrees or more between the intake and exhaust valves.
* H - Unknown but never combined with -B or -C
* I - Single point fuel injection
* II - Unknown - possibly denotes L.A.S.R.E (Lightweight Advanced Super Response Engine)
* J - Unknown, possibly autochoke, possibly another anti-pollution control
* L - Transverse mounted engine (seems to be an obsolete code)
* LPG - LPG fuel
* M - Phillipines market (details unknown)
* P - LPG fuel

that has nothing to do with engine names... im not wanting to know what acronyms mean.. i can go to

any time of the day.. much less i know most of them for my mazda car. (braindead)

I don't believe that Mazdas lettering system for their engines fall into any pattern.

 

[glish_dreams]

they have to mean something.. jst like others do.. such as F stands for the 4cy family.. and the things after the F stands for things like DOHC and stuf like that.. and things like the motor having VRIC, VICS ..things like that..

Well Mazda made a bunch of different 4 cylinder blocks but not all of them started with "F". The Late 80's 1.6L models were B6 for SOHC, B6E for the DOHC, and B6T for the DOHC turbo. The 1.8L DOHC was BP, and the turbo BPT. The 2.2L were FE2, and FE3 for the turbo, IIRC and the 2.0L like the 3rd Gen Protege and 626 were FS. All of them except the B6 were DOHC so that really doesn't work either.

The new 4 cylinder motors like the Mazda3, Mazda6 and MX-5 start with MZ.

 

[glish_dreams]

yes and theres proteges with Z blocks.. non the less it stands for smthing

 

[xelderx]

My best educated guess, considering that engine options seem to not have an effect on the lettering and that since the late 80's it's been going in an alphabetical order is that the letters are merely design stages of development. In other words...They start out with FA, but that design didn't work just right so they made some changes and got the FE motor....they kept doing that until they got to FS and that one worked perfect for what they wanted in the Protege/626 so thats the one that went into production.

the only other possible correlation is that most of the F series motors had cylinder measurments that would suggest they are based off of the B series motors only with a little more stroke.
