Hi everyone,
I've been lurking about for awhile now, just doing my research and searching, searching, searching... but unfortunately I've pretty much had to break down and make this post.
I just purchased a 2nd gen Protege, '96 actually. The very first thing I'm looking to do is swap. Now as I said, I've done some homework so far. This is my 5th sport compact project car in the last 9 years, so I'm not a *total* noob.
GTX swap seems the most realistic, so fine, all sorts of info about that... But what I really had my heart set on is KL-ZE. Let's be honest... The sound alone almost makes the deal, and at 200/180, it should give an H-swapped EG civic some tight competition, so it's definitely not slow.
From what I've been able to deduce sofar, nobody here has attempted this yet? I read that the 323F is either based off, or similar to, the BH chassis? Can *anyone* offer any concrete info on this potential swap?
(Before anyone beats me with a stick, I know that the 2nd gen is Mazda's bastard child and I know that it has a tiny engine bay.)
I'm doing my research on the GTX swap as we speak, but I want to pretty much exhaust my resources before I give up on the KL-ZE idea. I'm sure that there are plenty of folks on here who would love to see it done, so all pertinent info. is appreciated.
