'99 Protege engine?

[JCS]

Found a '99 protege close by that's wrecked. I was wondering if I could use the 1.8 out of it to swap into my '93 mx3 with the 1.6

Thanks

I believe the 1.8L from the '96+ protege's won't work. It's not the same as the BP if I remember correctly.

I had heard something about them not being the same also but I wasn't sure.

Thanks

a 99 might work. it is actually a BP motor in some 99's. just makes sure the stamps and everything are correct...BP05 I beleive on the head, and just BP on the back of the block (and front?)

That, and you should know what it should look like. It will be a 2nd gen with the VC that covers the cam gears.

No, it seems like it's an F-series

In America, the ES's engine was still 1.8 liters large but was a shrunken version of the 626's engine rather than the Miata's more exciting motor.

FP
It should be noted that the FP engine is totally unrelated to the earlier F-series engines with the exception of a similar name and capacity.

The 1.8 L (1839 cm3) FP is a destroked version of the FS, with an 83 mm bore and 85 mm stroke. It produces 122 hp (91 kW) and 120 ft·lbf (163 N·m). This engine is often incorrectly called the F8, which is the earlier destroked engine based on the FE. The FP enjoys a much better power band vs the FS due to slightly different camshafts and a better rod ratio over the regular FS-DE.

The FP is very close to the FS in many ways and shares a large percentage of parts but has its own FP specific block crank, rods, pistons and timing belt. The pistons for the FS produce a compression ratio of 9.1:1 (USDM) but when FP pistons are used in the FS they yield 9.7:1 compression ratio.

1992–1993 Eunos 500
1997–2001 Mazda Capella
1999–2000 Mazda Protegé (ES models only)

I stand corrected. 98 was final BP year.
