Canadians are fucked in the head

Re: whats this engine
 

yeah its the 2.2L engine, has an IHI RBJ5 turbo (small as hell)

Re: whats this engine
 

That's not a Ford engine ::)

Ford Escort EXP, nogs!

Re: whats this engine
 

haha EXP. ------- hot. 1.6's right?

Re: whats this engine
 

Exact same engine. Just says Ford.

I dont remember Exp's having an intercooler.

Re: whats this engine
 

What about the Mustang and Thunderbird 4cyl Turbo engine. 2.3L with a decent sized turbo.

Intercooled or not? I don't know...

Re: whats this engine
 

if its the motor im thinking of, it came from a 1989-1992 Ford GT probe, its a 12 valve sohc 2.2L turbo

my buddy is finding one to swap into his mazda so i did some research on them for him a couple weeks back

Re: whats this engine
 

Probe is a mazda engine. 2.3 is not 3 valves per cyl. That leaves the exp which is not the same as anything else mentioned, but it does have same bolt pattern as 1.9 and 2.3

Re: whats this engine
 

didnt say it wasnt a mazda engine, i just said he was swapping it into a mazda, he wants something turbo for his 323

the motor im thinkin of has specs here

http://probefaq.org/specs.html

Re: whats this engine
 

thats the one

Re: whats this engine
 

yeah that motor sucks.......if your looking to use the turbo off of it, dont waste your time. Its to small and very inefficient (sp).

Re: whats this engine
 

im not, my buddy wants somethin to go semi fast for cheap for now, and for him that's a good starter motor

it has 7.8:1 stock, swap a new turbo, get a good intercooler and fuel system and that should be good for at least a few months of fun with some decent boost untill it blows and gets his new motor built

Re: whats this engine
 

93+ Escort and 323 are essentially the same chassis. Some of the mounts may be off, BUT I know the upper radiator support in the early 90's is the exact same piece - had a neighbor used to fix salvage vehicles for resale.

If you can fit the 1.9 HO transmission you can run a 2.3T, but it's heavy and you have to cut + box the frame rail due to length. No comment on transmission life.

Re: whats this engine
 

acally the turbo EXP's had 1.9's in them

Re: whats this engine
 

theres guys out there with T3/T4's hanging off of them and running 15+ psi, only to pray to break 200whp (no joke). The best they can pull is low 14's with suspension, bigger fmic, fuel mods.......those motors are a complete waste. They barely have an aftermarket so everything has to be custom=expensive.The only engine management that half ass works on them is megasquirt. If your buddy wants a good platform, I suggest he look into the FE3 ;)

PS- Tell him to read up on Probetalk.com or MX6.com those sites have plenty of info

Re: whats this engine
 

like i said he wants something cheap while he builds his next motor, it'll be fine for a motor to beat on untill then

Re: whats this engine
 

what motor is he building?

Re: whats this engine
 

My bro-in-law had one, stock turbo/intercooler/well pretty much anything, Homemade boost controller and open pipe, he ran 14.3 @15psi.

There was another guy with one, minor mods, fuel a big t3/t4, I don't know all the specs, but he ran low 13's all day.

So they aren't the best but if you know what you are doing, you can get decent power out of them, and I mean decent for a daily driver that can at least spank 80% of the civics on the road, and goes vroooooom,,psssssst,, :-\

Re: whats this engine
 

they are few a far between..........There are guys trying to run GT35R's on them and cant get them to spool on that 2.2L :X. Ive seen the GT35R on 1.8 liter honda spoil well before vtec (this is using the .63ar exhaust housing on both engines)

Re: whats this engine
 

I don't know, All engines are different, even with the same specs. But I was pretty impressed with this guy after he ran that low 13 pass. I was at the track kinda knew the guy from before.

I loved it because the car looked like ----, but was pretty quick. for an MX-6

Re: whats this engine
 

My cousin had one and owned the engine by winding out the turbo...

Re: whats this engine
 

could be a Mitsubishi Starion/Chrysler Conquest i think they are 2.4's

Re: whats this engine
 

Yeah. Maybe.. If they were Fords.

Re: whats this engine
 

o, i didnt see the "Ford" label

---- domestic 4 cylinders

Re: whats this engine
 

1.6 dohc , the escort turbo motor... im pretty sure that is a mazda b6T ... as for the probe and 626 engine, they are the mazda f2 engine...2.2t... so if it says ford... chances are its one of those.... but who knows

Re: whats this engine
 

Um no they did'nt
Early EXP=1.6 Turbo
Later EXP=1.9 N/A

Re: whats this engine
 

Your right Sorry about that I thought it was to other way but geuss.

Re: whats this engine
 

we already figured out it was the F2T out of the old ford probe GT's and MX6 GT's

Re: whats this engine
 

yeah since all the new Honda, Toyota, etc motors are all still built in Japan right ::)
