Supe up 2.0L Auto M3

[Da 6]

are you 2 gonna be ok? the link i provided is basicly the cliff notes of the 1.8 2.0 and 2.3 VVT(S-VT) Cardomain might have a 3i with hood poped but it looks almost like a 2.3 from valve cover and engine cover sake. AzMz3 were the engines shipped in the 3's all black plastic valve covers?

i'm cool....if it's a new engine based on the 2.3L and not the fs-de thats all I needed to know. I just wanted to see pics of it to be sure.

s*** happens don't lose sleep over it...

AzMz3..this is what our 2.3 valve cover looks like...my Q was if your 2.3s all have black valve covers...

isnt some kind of oil filter, another pic has something that looks a plastic hose of some sort, probably part of a cover. reminds me of a funky mushroom (hippy)

and btw the 2.0l engine in the 3i doesn't have a VVT

And ill throw my $0.02 in here...the FS-DE is not the greatest motor...
Any Mazda fan will know that the tried tested and true Protege motor is none other than the BP series!!!!
