Protege MP3 #321
so i was driving and i saw a puddle not thinking it was to deep i started to crawl through it the next thing i no my intake sucks up water and seizes my engine..brought it to my machanic and he thinks i bent my pistons becasue of all the water that got sucked up..what other engines fit in my car if i have to buy a neew one
 
sucks dude. I haven't even driven my car in the past 3 days. Used my dad's Titan. As far as engine goes, any 3rd gen engine will fit because they're all the same. P5/MP3/MSP/Sedan all the same. You can contact beau at MAM or nick at MPI for a forged engine so you can boost it. Sorry to hear, hydrolocking sucks
 
well it fully didnt hydrolock i can drive it it just is knocking around in my engine just waiting for it to blow rreally
 
not a good idea. you can be severly scoring your cylinder walls. preventing you from even using that block again.
 
yea i no i need to get back and forth to school i need it but i might just be getting a new engine or im droping it off and getting a rental
 
do you have any mods? like CAI or something? if not you might get your insurance to cover it
 
yea i ahve aem short ram but it goes all the way donw thats why i sucked up the water..and i only have lyability. but what year engin can i buy and are there any other engines that will fit in my car
 
anyone no websites where i can find any forged engines or used that will fit are car
 
Any 2.0L fs-de from a 3rd gen protege will work. The only difference with the mp3 is the intake manifold and ecu, otherwise the block and head are the same.
