[ZOOMZOOMs]

Facebook | Juan Camilo Gutierrez's Photos – MY 87´ 626 DOHC TURBO CONVERSION
this are the pics of my dohc conversion...i´m try to keep it day a day from now... cause im in the final days...
the engine is a fe 8 valves,carburated, converted to kia fe3n dohc, making new oil return paths from scratch and mig weld.. also y buy a evo 8 turbo/manifold , intercooler and downpipe... that i´m installing right now...
for the ones that still don´t understand why?? is simply... because there is no fe3 dohc mazda engines available here... and.. yes i love to weld....tomorrow i"ll post some pics of the intake manifold that i´m making for it... any suggestions.. coments???

It looks good!
I would also like to do this swap :P
What gearbox will you be using?

[fredio54]

wow, someone actually bothered to do it! cool :-) what are your plans for cam drive, have you got the kia sprocket too? you will probably need that, or some other solution.

hey..that´s a question... i´m using mazda fe 8 valve cam gears in both exhaust and intake, the intake in the "3" position and the exhaust in the "1" position...i use a degree wheel to determinate wish position use...and for the timing belt, use one from a opel 1.9 diesel engine...i´m gonna install it today and take some pictures...

im using the stock gear box from the 2.0 carbureated...it´s long geared... i can make 207 kph (according to the digital speedo) at 4800 rpm in fifth gear.

[fredio54]

i was wondering if that would be your answer :-)

do they mount up ok?

can you put your pics on something that accepts a higher resolution than sh|tty facebook?

photobucket seems to have better loading times than imageshack.

in the options tab of photobucket you can make your default 1024x768, thats what i use.

Hot damn! That's pretty impressive. Of course not something I'd do since we've got real FE-DOHCs about, but for the US guys this stuff should be gold

[bpt323]

you used the 2.2l block & put the FE3 head on it???? why did you do that? for the taller block??

[ZOOMZOOMs]

no, i used the fe 2.0 8 valves carbureated shortblock.

so if this can be done "assuming it works with no problems" slap dohc head onto a f2t might be about to give the old stump puller some more go

[ZOOMZOOMs]

no...i´m not assuming
... it works great¡¡¡... it´s the third i make this way...the other two are for some customers... but this is for my personal ride.
one of them is made over a f2 and the other over a fe. and they both work very nice...this time i take all the experience aquired from these two and made it´, easyly , with less guess work, and documenting the process

i´m just uploading the pics of the timing.. you can see :the intake cam gear , is from a 85-90 323 and the exhaust cam gear is from the 626 fe, because of the tensioner position, is mandatory, to check the timing every time you mount it , with a degreeing wheel.

please note that this is the first time i use this timing gear arrangement..any suggestions??

fredio, im sorry, the bad quality of the pics is caused by the camera (motorola e2 cell phone).i´ll try to take some real camera pics and place it in photo bucket as you suggest.

[monoxidechild]

thats cool as hell. i only know of one other person trying that and it was years ago... best of luck!

[chief tool]

Nice work with the EVO 8 manifold...
I might try that instead of the BP turbo one that I have here that apparently mounts upside down (for a high mount which I dont really want)

[fe3t b2200]

awesome effort man. nice build up job on the back of the block most would deem it too much work to be worth it but good [shizzle]!

[ZOOMZOOMs]

WELL.. TODAY HAVE MI FIRST TRIP... AROUND THE CORNER... STILL FRESH SO I USE IT VERY KIND....5000RPM MAX AND 10 LBS OF BOOST...IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY FUN CAR TO DRIVE... IF YOU LOVE TO BUY NEW TYRES EVERY WEEK.....

I ADDED NEW PICS OF THE FINAL STAGES, AND THE NEW TIMING BELT ARRANGEMENT. AND 3 ONES AS PROVED TODAY... NEXT MONDAY NIGHT FIRST PASS ON THE DYNO...REMEMBER THAT I LIVE 9500 Ft "CLOSER TO THE STARS", SO I EXPECT AT LEAST 20% LESS WHPS THAN SEA LEVEL...

TILL´MONDAY NIGHT...
