2L Stroker Turboed

BOYRCR · Postby **BOYRCR** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 12:11 pm

I have just bought a motor still in a front cut with apparently a Mazda Speed 2L stroker kit that was fitted in Mazda Speed Japan. Has any one played with one of these before and if so has any one turboed one? I am looking at turbo's and what size with power out puts and lag being an issue. It is NA at the moment but is getting stripped down for pistons, rods...etc.

If anyone has any experience with 2L motors and turbo's and power out puts your knowlage would be well recieved.

AFAIK the Mazdaspeed conversion wasn't a a true stroker, but a bored out 1.92 motor using the stock crank.

I have been looking for some info on it on the web but cant even find the mazdaspeed site for japan or anything from mazdaspeed relating to a stroker kit.

FE3 is a 2.0L Protege engine.

The 2.0L Mazdaspeed motor was something that I think wasn't an official offering by Mazdaspeed. Mazdaspeed for many years had a "tuner" workshop in Tokyo that could pretty much do whatever one-off mod you wanted and so this is probably one of those.

As far as I know, the only "official" Mazdaspeed 2.0L was the Roadster MPS, which had the 1.92L and cams/quad throttles for 200hp, but those were made in really tiny numbers I believe. But the fact that the capacity was closer to 1.9L didn't stop them from advertising it as 2.0L and I think that's where the myth comes from, and I don't think Mazdaspeed ever released any official parts to take a BP to a true 2.0L.

Ever thought of applying for a job at Mazda jp Babalouie?

Do you know if the US makes their own \"Mazdaspeed\" variants too? or does everything come from Japan?

I stumbled across (on US eBay) what looked to be a \"factory\" 2L Mazdaspeed turbo Protege (2001 model). The seller wrote that there were about 50 of these ever made. Why the heck didn't we get these instead of the naturally aspirated SP20's!?
