1989-1991 Ford probe GT, Mazda MX-6 GT, and 626 GT all came with an F2t Engine. The F series engine was Originally developed for the B series mazda pickups.

Manual Trans are beefier than the N/A by quite a bit. The autos suck major dick. Turbo that came on the car from the factory Was an IHI RHB5 VJ11. Similar to the RHB5 VF11 that came on the scuby L-2.2 turbo in the early 90s. The stock ecu will hit an overboost code hittting anymore than 15psi on a maual boost controller. there are quite a few aftermarket parts availabe for this car. LMK if you need any other info. Cars are REALLY fin to drive in town. Torque enough to make 2nd 3rd gear rippers; But, they tend to choke off the stock turbo at like 5k rpm

Best Cheap mods are Hard upper and lower IC piping, MBC and VAF adapter/ Cone filter. I had an exhaust shop make me a new DP(before I knew how to weld) and it made 8lbs at 2300 instead of 3k. Even cutting off the exhaust at the flex pipe would probably gain 20hp.

Thanks man. Any good forums for these?

probe talk, is the big one, can't remember the other one i was on, when i had my probe. (probe gt turbo same thing as 626gt turbo)

my old turbo probe was fun to rip around in, so i say do it. with little mods you can keep up with evo's and ----, which isn't bad for a 3k lb beast from 1990. lol

plus if you have/keep the egr in place it gets pretty good mileage i averaged mid 20's beating on it. on the interstate i would bet 30+ cruising.

Are there any major parts suppliers for these?

turbob16hatch

not really, only thing i know for sure, is act,fidanza,intrax springs,kyb, thats the ---- that i had. but there isn't any big companies for turbo stuff.

Diy FTW! I wonder what the internals are like on those motors? Forged? Heads flow good? I bet web makes a cam for it.

the heads are poo, 12 valve i think, and there low comp, alot of people just weld a t3 flnage onto the stock mani. it works i guess.
