hey
i just got my car, but i lost owners manual! im not good at keeping stuff
anywayz how do u know if u have a 1.5L or 1.8L?

if ya reply it would really help alots thanx

 

i have 1996 protege DX if it helps

 

dx= 1.5

 

U have the oh so great 92 horsepower lawnmower engine. zoom zoom, lol

 

the 1.5l has a nice manual tranny though, my buddy still cant figure out why i can keep up with him through 2nd gear when he has 180ish hp.

 

im gonna save up for 1.8L

 

Ill sell you my Whole car with a nice 1.8 in it for a good Price .

Let me know if you are interested .

 

thanx for the offer, but ive decided to get another car soon and sell the protege

Mitsubishi Lancer

how much were u gonna sell it for?

 

I was Selling it for 4500 $ .

Let me know if you know someone who would want it ..

 

I am pretty sure the 1.5L is underrated. I bet it's closer to 105 hp.

 

yeh i reckon...i think the 1.5L are around 105hp-110hp~~~~

 

Interesting...Sometimes manufacturers under rate but I wonder why that would be the case here.
They were already defending their decision to downsize to a 1.5 as their base model engine. If they could have claimed a decrease in size and higher output, I think they would have done it.

I've got a G-tech. I'm going to take some numbers, not because I believe it's 100% accurate but rather it's a good "before and after" measurement tool. I'm doing my 1.8 swap shortly and want to know what kind of an improvement I'm dealing with.

 

For insurance purposes I assume. I bet a car with under 100 hp is cheaper to insure than one with over.
