Engine swap Yo
Evening CTzens, i have a 1997 mazda étude/ protégé. The car runs fine buy i need more powweeeer so i considered an engine swap. I currently have to candidates, the volvo B5254t (because 5 cylinders) at $800 or the mazda l3 2.3 disi (found in the mps R.I.P)at $2000. Will either of these engines work (let alone fit)? If so which one should i go for? You can also suggest an engine but it has to cost less than the disi engine and be highly tuneable. Or should i just turbo the 1.6 it already has?

A B-series or K-series Honda engine is always a good choice.
I will check them out thanks man
The secret to engine swaps is you never know until you try. Even on the internet you will find people who tried but are either lazy, too broke or really know nothing about cars.
We do what we can with what we got. Best of luck to you.
Thank you
The motor out of a mazda 3 or speed 3 would give you around 50hp
Didn’t the speed 3 produce 250 bhp?
