Question about Honda 2.0 vs Mazda 2.0

[Gen1GT]

the engine i'm going to purchase for my drag car (recently bought a hos to build up) has a rod ratio of 1.706 rod ratio

85mm bore, 88mm stroke

4G63?

So does the FE3 share the same bolt pattern as the FS? Could you bolt one to a stock protege tranny?

Also, since I'm lazy and at work, does a K series spin the wrong way like most honda motors?

 

[anarchistchiken]

With a shorter stroke, the max piston speed and therefore the centrifugal force on the rods, etc. is much less.

There's no such thing as centrifigul force. It's a made up term.

Anyone ever considered how hard it would be to swap an FE3 into the protege? If it came in the j-spec 626, might it have the same motor mounts and whatnot as the fs?

i don't think the FE-3 was in the most recent 626 that used the same FS-DE engine. All pictures I've seen are the more square (2nd gen?) versions. There was also an AWD option for the FE-3 powered 626. (2thumbs)

FE-3 was a J-spec engine 88-92 MX-6/626....If you can find one then look for an H series tranny..MUCH tougher than the g-series...then just figure out a way to get the damn assembly in your car

 

[twilightprotege]

gen1 - nope , but can you say an (easy) 10k rev limit?

 

[Rogue]

the Kia Sportage used a detuned version of the FE-3. I've looked into doing the swap. Just need money and learn how to do some custom fabrication.

You're a made up term!

How about centripetal force.

Subs about the terrific FE3.

F20?

or a reaction to a centripetal force?

 

[twilightprotege]

damn you know your engines - f20b

 

[RedAstina]

is the other engine (76 x 101) one of the subaru 4's?

Check out the great sound of the K20A in this kart at an autocross...

Sweet...that's a Se7en replica, however, not a cart.

 

[Installshield 2]

beat me to it by 15 days or so Josh (pertaining to the F20)...but what the hell is the 101mm stroke one? One of the only gasoline 4 cylinders I know of with that much stroke is the SpecV's 2.5L...whatever the code is for it though; I forget...

There engine's are a Mustang 5.0(101mm bore, 76mm stroke and 129mm rods), and the Integra Type R(81mm bore, 87mm stroke and 138mm rods). I don't need to tell everyone which engine revs higher and faster...

 

[Installshield 2]

oh...I read your first post wrong, I thought you said 101mm of stroke...

nevermind...Other than the latest Z06, I hate cars with pushrods...

 

[POSEIDON]

I long for a honda rod ratio..
