Wow that's awesome! I wish someone offered a kit to do this swap

As I suspected, it actually fits in the engine compartment very, very well. =)

 

[Robot Romeo]

[Prodigy]

Scroll down, KL-ZE, $825.

Get a Microtech from TurfBurn, and go to town. =)

$2000 for your own KL-powered Protege.

Looks to me like they had to relocate the radiator outward toward the bumper more, too, along with removing the fan for the AC. A pair of Spal fans on the front of the radiator would probably do, too. A set of headers can be had for another few hundred dollars beyond that, and you'd have to figure out exactly how to mate it up with your exhaust, otherwise. I consider all of this in the realm of very feasable, but you'd need a goodly amount of time to get everything working hunkey-dorey. I do have to wonder how much dash-related stuff runs through the factory ECU, though. Hmm. Anyone tried pulling the ECU, and turning the car on to acc mode?

 

[Shane5425]

the cars accesories will run, its the guages that will be haywire, until you splice them from the protege to the 626 ecu, given that the signals are simaliar.

Ici, le taper alors le traduit en franais avec ce programme, j'ai mis parle franais mais je l'ai traduit juste.

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

freetranslation isn't very accurate though..

This swap really isn't that complicated folks. I've seen it done a couple times, even when I first got the DX back in early 2003 I knew a guy with a '01 ES that was doing the swap.

 

[Shane5425]

i know its not acurate, but it will get the job done

 

[JITB]

i just wanted to know what harness - tranny - axle - etc

best i coudld do

i see it uses the mx3 axles like i thought theyfit into the 3rd gen spindles. Any word on what mounts were used? If its mx3 than it would be GREAT

the swap looks as easy as it is to put into a 1st gen....
