F2T swap into my 91 Protege?

[FE3-323]

damn, not too shabby, the clearance on the intake is tight tho, How come you welded to the frame rail instead of making a plate to bolt in?

what was the hp/tq rating on those engines?

the project is coming along nice. like lscrx said "i'm definetly subscribing to this one"

[jitb37]

130hp/180tq for the f2t

[FE3-323]

ugh the un-godlike tq next to ours

[RPM]

LOL I welded to the frame rail because it was easier than fabricating up a mounting backet to bolt onto the frame. Grind away the paint and rust, then weld. LOL

Yeah the rad is junk and its really thin, I'm getting my machine shop to make me a custom rad thats thicker.

The tq will be sweet since I'm used to driving RX-7's hahaha.
The RX-7 rims I have on the car now have 225 wide tires....and MAN are they HUGE on the car!

I think my radiator is worse than yours, but at least mines a dual core.

[FE3-323]

do the 225's rub?

[RPM]

Nope :D

They stick out past the fenders about a 1/4" but oh well

Everyone that comes into the shop asks "why the hell does that Protege have a turbo on it....wait, why are those motor mounts not factory looking....wait....WHY?" Bahahahaha

[FE3-323]

haha, awesome, just pure awesomness.

[Jho]

Any updates?

How's the swap coming?

[FE3-323]

indeed, whats the latest news. what axel system did you use again?

[Jho]

what axel system did you use again?

I'm using the MX-6 axels, hubs and I may either use the MX-6 struts with the Protege tops, or the entire Protege stut assembly. I haven't got that far yet
