98 Mazda Protoge JDM & USDM Difference?

[yunglaosta]

well i have a friend who has a Protoge and just recently got a jdm motor. well we're trying to find out if u could goahead and drop da motor in or would u have to swap some things to get it running. any help?

[MSP1660]

You got a PM.

[stussyxlola]

yes help..i need help! lol the engine is a 1.5l z5

[JITB]

There is no difference in the Jdm/usdm Na 1.8 BP dohc, but the 1.5 Z5 dohc motor.. has a more hp i believe it has 97-105hp, and the us has 86hp. i do think that they also might have different Intake manifolds on them.

Well in that case, hes all good, and got more power. but im pretty sure, that its a direct bolt on. the changes are from the intake/exhaust manifolds.. that gave more power i believe. same setup tho.

Check out : www.clubprotege.com if you got more questions alot of 2nd gen owners that can help out! Im a 1st gen guy..dont know too much about the 2nd gens..

[JITB]

lol after searching on Cp, i see you have posted over there.... you shoudl have hit me up! im a mod over there. But anyway.. It does seem like its a direct swap. but if you havent got the motor already, id look into just putting the 1.8 bp in it.. more power and all around great motor! but the Z5 isnt a slouch either.. it makes great boosted power!

[stussyxlola]

haha yeah i was thinking the z5 becoming a boosted beast. LOL but nah you saw the posts right? i gave up on there. we were checking out the engines early this morning and noticed the obvious intake manifold differences but that was about it

yeah more power indeed. lol the intake manifold on the jdm z5 looks more awesome haha

[JITB]

is your motor blown up? or do u just want more power? but that dude kitty is a punk ass he knows 2gs but doesn't say anything helpful to anyone. just harass's people who just ask simple questions.

[stussyxlola]

yeah i noticed that..well pretty much since i've had the car there's been small issues here and there let's say later on it led to my head gasket being blown and given the only option of getting a new motor on a very limited budget

[yunglaosta]

her old motor had a blown head gasket, so therefore her motor blew. she's on a budget and already got the jdm z5. yeah we checked the intake manifold and it was definitely different but would u have to switch out the intake manifold? also the exhaust manifold looks da same but im not to sure

[JITB]

just replace the head gasket all mazda motors are non interference so u should be fine. u can get a good gasket kit for about 80 bucks. even the 3 layer one.

lol her motor blew already

[JITB]

well if u got the motor already than ur set. what car is it goin int the black one with the kit? in your sig on cp? that car is nice!

[stussyxlola]

yeah the one in my sig. lol sadly it doesn't look like that anymore. lol going for a new look since it's been dismantled lol not by choice by hey why not. i dig the jdm look. my cousin has seen some in japan and says those look real nice.

[JITB]

u can get jdm familia parts for the 2nd gen easily. I wouldn't mind owning a 2g es myself

[stussyxlola]

oh yeah? where? i've been wondering for the longest. haven't had the chance to go look around cp until now. i hate working with corksport. i got my jdm bumper about 3 months to half a year later

[JITB]

corksport takes too long. go to imazda.com a lot of 2g owners there too. or ebay.. their are a lot of mazdaspeed body parts out there as well. and even the yahoo groups have a few dealers in taiwan/malyasia that sell parts in the us.

[stussyxlola]

oh foreal. cool. that helps out. lol i drive my crazy trying to find parts and ending up nowhere. haha

[yunglaosta]

lol yes finally we found da answers to all ur questions homie! JITB da switches on da jdm z5 wouldnt have to be switched out would dat? i noticed a switch on da throttle body is positioned a lil bit different than the usdm one.

[JITB]

I thin kit might just be because of the Manifold, id say, if your that worried about it, just install it how it is, and if you have issues just swap out the intake manifold. But i htink it might be the 4wire Tps..or 3, im not sure which you have, and which one is on that motor.

[Elbow]

I still say you Protege owners buy the factory touring car engines from Mazda, nothing like a 200+whp NA engine.
