mazda protege es 1999
I have a 1999 Protege ES with the 1.6...looking to swap with a 2.0...don't know where to start! Any advice/info would be much appreciated!
 
We have engines available if needed!

There are alot of people that have done the swap. Post up some questions!
 
wiring harness, ecu, engine mounts and mounting brackets, transmission, axles(i think), full long block w/sensors and manifolds, probably some i missed.
 
it would be easiest to find a wrecked protege with a 2.0 and do a direct swap of everything. since your already doing alot of stuff have you considered a kl swap?

My 1.6 is toast. I see a 2.0 in a local salvage yard with a warranty...I'm not looking for a performance boost or anything...just want to get it running and driving again. How easy does the engine come out? I know American v-8's...clueless on anything foreign! Do you just undo all the electronics and unbolt it from the trans and the motor mounts? Is this typically a 2 hr job...4 hr...all day? Any special tools I may need that I don't have now?
Thanks!
 
depending on your experience tools and help 2 to 4 hours at most. me and my brother can swap out motors in a civic in 1.5 hours. but your going from 1.6 to a 2.0 so you will def need the ecu and maybe wiring harness. i believe the trans is the same not sure somebody will chime in on that. or search for it im sure theres info on here somewhere
 
You will need a new engine, trans, PCM and engine harness. Also axles and some other miscellaneous parts. I would recommend the MP3 PCM but you will need to run premium octane fuel... You will need the long block because the heads and manifolds are completely different...
