anyone have this?? http://www.boosthead.com/product.php# under 626 2.0L
Not all that different in terms of the basics. ECUs don't swap, they have distributors, no cam position sensor or crank position sensor (or at least not the same kind).P5inder said:Seriously though...
I wonder whow well that'd fit our engine/engine bay...
How different are the Mx6 2.0L and the Protege 2.0L?

To get that to fit, you'd have to get a custom crank pulley made with the teeth for our crank position sensor, but the intake manifold w/ blower would bolt up. Of course it's missing VICS/VTCS, but as long as you leave the solenoids plugged in the ECU won't freak out. I dunno if it's missing any sensors or anything we need or if our throttle bodies would bolt right up to it.. Since they bolt right up to the 626 manifold I'd imagine they would to this. Engine management would have to be pretty custom I'd imagine. Toss a haltech on for fuel/timing control and you'd be set, then mount a wideband in a bung on like your midpipe to monitor things, make sure the pulley on the SC gives you low enough boost, and it would be a nice setup definitely
You'd probably have to lose the stock strut tower brace, but I bet you could still fit a custom one (hopefully). I think you'd definitely lose the cruise control though just because of where the unit is located (right where that SCs pulley sits)
Kansei said:OMG beautiful. No, no one on here has that.
That's a much older version of our engines though, it looks like it has the distributor running off the exhaust cam on the front, so that's gotta be like a 626/probe/mx-6 or somethin.
Where did you find that, and did you buy it? I would love to have a roots supercharger kit on my car (with air-water intercooler).. yummmmm

Worth it, I think...
Kansei said:no, you'd still boom. low boost ftw
