Protege 5 engine swaps

[tweety2300]

Or a k20 swap I believe that's what it is 240 hp na stock motor if it was feasible id be on my list but swaping motors into a car gets expensive id just stick with the fsde rebuild and turbo it that's the smrter more economical way with more power

600cc injectors for a GT25 like the stock msp??? Wrx 440's would be plenty of fuel to max out the stock turbo which would definately be under 300whp efficiently. Or are you using a T25 flanged larger turbo? GT28 or GT30?

i have a protege 5 and im doing a complete engine build on the stock block, going from 83mm to 84mm 9:1 commpression ratio forged wiseco pisons K1 billet Rods ACL mains/rod bearings, T25 dual BB turbo kit 600cc injectors, H/O fuel pump AEM FIC... ect much better rout than swaping to a MSP, a MSP swap can cost you UP TO 4k doing it yourself, cause you have to find a car... all the stuff listed above as well as replacing gaskets, plugs wires, timing belt...ect its going to cost me about 4500, 500 more than the swap and its a BUILT engine capible of standing 12psi as a daily. Much better rout and better learning experiance. i thought about the MSP swap but they have side mount intercoolers than are able to stand the stock HP, turbo-kits.com has a kit for the protege that will put out about 50 more HP than the MSP engine, once you have all the above done, all you need is a clutch, flywheel, LSD, and maybe some Half-shafts if your pushing over 320HP. ill Have pics up of my build, im not a big forum guy but look me up on cardomain.

The MSP was actually the heaviest of the Proteges at 2,843lbs, surpassing even the Protege5 by over 100lbs. Just as an aside.

Hmmm....interesting fact

So if 2003 are all the same, but nothing else is , do I need to specifically get a 2003 or will any 2.0 protege engine work?



All FS-DE's in the 3rd generation protege are the same. Not all FS-DE's are the same however.[/QUOTE]

 

[tweety2300]

2001-2003 fsde out of a protege or protege 5 will work. And btw msp has lower compression pistons so not exactly the same.

That's the first I'm hearing about that... I think you may have some bad info there.

 

[canadian357]

No, the MSP has the same internals as all BJ chassis FS-DE motors. The only 3rd gen FS engine that was different was the FS-ZE, which AFAIK has higher compression pistons as well as a slightly different intake manifold (it has a black plastic "resonance" chamber or something on top of it)

 

[Stickman]

Ok, now I'm more confused. Any protege "will work".? I've got a end of yr 2003, 2003.5?
Am I giving up anything by putting in any protege engine?

 

[aMaff]

If it was a 2.0L engine and it came in a 3rd Gen protege (98 - 2003.5), it'll work.

 

[tweety2300]

Um they didn't put the fsde in the protege untill 01...

 

[aMaff]

Yep. Notice that year range was for the 3rd gen Protege. Prior to the FS, IIRC, they didn't have a 2.0L engine.

 

[tweety2300]

They had 2.0s in the probes 626 and mx6 but I'm not sure if it was the fsde or not I believe it was

 

[Stickman]

So would any of those swap up "plug-n-play" style w/ my 03 P5?

 

[tweety2300]

2001-2003 2.0 out of a protege will drop right in using all factory stuff

 

[canadian357]

Short of an FS-DE motor from a 3rd gen protege, everything will require some sort of modification.

Ideas?

Hey Guys I'm new to the website. Ok so i got a black 2003 mazda protege5 black 17" rims with brand new metallic paint job and black tints. I want to increase performance on my car. Any Ideas.?

 

[RicoP5]

TURBO? nitrous? lol depends on what you want to do.

 

[tweety2300]

If you want straight linne performance sell it buy somethingelse

 

[xxxmonoxidechil]

swap a KL v6 in. people have ran low 13's n/a in the heavier mx6 with them.

 

[drgnzadiel101]

^you forget to mention they dont have to run 2 ecus and have wiring issues lol. unless someone fixed that little problem (havent been on here in a good while)
