Just found a wrecked 92 Protege with 31,000 miles. Guy wants $450 for it. SOHC, will it fit?
My engine chart just says B8, not clear on SOHC or DOHC.

Since you seem to be tracking mileage with your other cars that engine is excellent for mileage despite its Displacement. I found the extra mmph you can skip gears on flat ground with the aspire transmission and not bog1993 GL 5 speed

Maybe your thinking the B6. 90+ california B6 was 16V while the other 49 states got the 8V. I believe the 92-93 mx-3 also got the 16V SOHC.Originally posted by blkfordsedan View PostThe Festiva Store

^^ correct. I don't think there were ever any 8 valve B8s, at least not here in the US. B8 is a great motor, doesn't have the screaming top end of a BP, but it definitely makes plenty of torque down low.No festiva for me ATM...Comment
