Mazda Protege

ARIAS PISTONS has been the leader in compact piston technology since their beginnings. While piston suppliers at that time focused mostly on larger-bore domestic V-8’s, ARIAS had the foresight to cater to the smaller-bore, higher-revving, hotter-running imports & domestic compacts.

Today, ARIAS maintains an unmatched advantage in the import and domestic compact market. Over three decades of research and development have led to the ARIAS Sport Compact shelf line.

Pauter's unique single rib design E- 4340 chrome-moly forged rod. Overall, the clean, windage-reducing design and strength of these Pauter rods has proven to be extremely popular with racers, and their consistent high quality and excellent finish has resulted in many satisfied customers.

Application: All Mazda 2.0L FS 4cyl motors, including Mazda Protege, 626, MX-6, and Ford Probe.

These rods have been race and dyno proven for years in the Mazda FS motors. These high quality forged rods are built to very tight tolerances, and can support more power than you can make out of an FS motor. Not only are they about twice as thick as the stock Mazda rod (pictured in photo on left), but they are far more than twice as strong.

Blown your Protege's engine thanks to overboost or oil starvation? Not looking to spend the money for a built engine? Just want a spare motor? This complete drop-in long block is a used replacement including the following:

• Assembled Long Block with all pistons, rods, crankshaft, block and head.
  
• Oil Pan
  
• Valve Cover
  
• Exhaust Manifold
  
• Intake Manifold
• 30 day warranty

The long awaited SpeedCircuit Heads for the 2.0L Protege are now available! These heads will flow up to 71% more air at certain lifts over a stock head! All SpeedCircuit heads are completely stripped down and rebuilt, including new parts where necessary. There are two stages of heads available.

Stage 1 includes:

• Special five angle valve job
  
• Bowl work to blend the stock machine cuts into a larger bowl
  
• Resurface
  
• Disassemble/clean/reassemble
  
• Sandblast clean
  
• Valve lash set
  
• Pressure test to ensure no leaks

Stage 2 includes all of the above, as well as

• Completely ported and knife-edged intake ports
  
• Completely ported and knife-edged exhaust ports
  
• The extra porting and knife edging results in a larger port that is more consistent than the stock port, resulting in smoother power and better airflow.

Order will not be shipped until shipping is paid in full. This item is custom made to order, and therefore is not returnable. Please allow 3-5 weeks for delivery.

There is no competition for this built motor.

These engines are built with very high quality components, such as forged chromoly rods from Pauter and K1, along with forged 2618 aluminum Traum or Arias pistons.

8.5:1 compression pistons are used in this motor by default due to their resistance to detonation for turbo applications. If you would like a custom compression ratio for your motor, please allow an extra 6-8 weeks for delivery. Extra fees may apply.

Pauter rods are extremely high quality rods with extremely tight tolerances. These rods are responsible for holding together the motors of many Protege owners for many years.
