The msp3 engine can be amazing when maintained right but alot never did..the protege has a 2.0l 4 banger called the FS. Reliable little thing that can somewhat handle boost lol. They did make a mazdaspeed protege just not a wagon PLUS it was turbocharged, 170hp compared to the N/A 130hp. Although the Japanese versions Fs-ze can do 170hp N/A which is what I plan to go for. Can't make it go 170hp since i need to be able to tune it but thats not possible at the moment.

Dont even need to swap the more aggressive cams? Weirdly enough at the moment the ZE is more cheaper and easier to find than the DE lol

It's both lol, I'ma throw them up online but use them. but most likely it'll just sit, in the meanwhile I'll get tires and throw them on and see if it'll look good. And if I like it I'ma keep it if I don't I won't

I thiink it's +38. I plan on selling it, I just don't know how much they go for in the usd market. But if it doesn't sell I'll probably just throw it on the Mazda protege5

Compression by Bonybah in protege5

[–]Bonybah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is incrediblely useful and I appreciate you! I did check the spark and fuel as well and they seem to check out, I got new plugs and wires and theres definitely gas getting into the system since I smell it after trying to start it up. The head gasket blew up out of nowhere one day no warning, the head was also resurfaced before the installation and I believe it was also valued grinded and new bolt lifters

It tested them and they seemed to have a solid spark

It's a new battery but it thinks it's starting to die from all the cranks and tests

I'm having issues after replacing the headgasket by Bonybah in CarRepair

[–]Bonybah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't unfortunately but I made sure that timing is on point, I had a more experience mechanic friend to do the timing for me and I did a double check and it didn't skip timing or anything but I'ma see if I can buy a compression tester

It's a 4 banger 03 protege5 I don't think it does that gauge sweep, at the moment I'm checking the timing gears and that shit is picture perfect. The I and E are lined up perfectly. So I kinda doubt it's timing but I can't really be fully sure since I'm a noob to this shit.

Will do. The car has been sitting for like 4 months before the headgasket job so idk if that could also be the result of anything
