Hi, I'm Scott & I have a 1997 Protege I'm working on but it's tough to find the parts I want for my car! Right now, I'm considering an engine swap but don't know what to look for....my current on is the 1.5L....

Yo. Welcomes to the place where stuff happens. An engine swap would be a good idea, since the 1.5 is gutless. hard part is sourcing everything you'd need to do the 1.8 swap. There's a few threads about doing the swap on here. Take a look around, tons of info to read.
No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

i have a thread that we all discussed it
and we believe that if you really wanna put some time and effort into figuring out how
try a V6 engine swap 2.5L from a MX-6, Probe GT, or a 626
you will have to have a new transmission but it will be a fast car
and it will be alot easier to find performance parts for it
i myself am attempting this
i am going to a salvage yard today to get an MX-6 engine

the BP will fit fine in the LX. Also the f series tranny will bolt right up to the BP. The hardest part will be finding a harness. When I did my swap I boought a brand new harness from the dealership. They had to have mazda Japan make one so it took like a month. I searched for a harness for a year with no luck from the junkyardsI live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.
