finally pictures of my bongo engine!

This is pictures of my mazda with the mazda bongo engine- the 12 valve RWD fe engine, fuel injected, running on megasquirt fuel injection with the STOCK mazda truck distributor. Currently it uses a ford probe turbo lower intake- stock with stock 330cc injectors, and a custom upper plenum with stock ford probe turbo TBody- upper plenum courtesy of kevin aka orangemazdab2000-



It has a pacesetter header, and uses a stock b2200 fuel injection fuel pump/ sending unit.

This truck is wicked fast and mean! It is also getting a turbo!

The turbo and manifold were put together by a friend of mine for a mazda truck-

The manfold is from a ford probe gt/ f2t car, with a 90 degree bend tigged on with a t3 flange-

The turbo is a garrett t3 .60 a/r from a buick grand national- with a customized exhaust housing, subaru exhaust flange with a tigged on v- band adapter.

Looks good.Keep us posted.How did u access the Bongo Friendee engine?Or should I ask?BJ

forgot to ask and it might sound stupid but what is bongo engines

Awesome! I wish I had access to a bongo head when I started...it would have saved so much grief and extra work.

im doin this same swap on my 92 with a 89 f2t motor, does anyone know where i can get a bongo head??? Not really looking at doing distributorless...

deffinately sweet! would like to have a bongo head myself.....

nice build man, keep us posted on the turbo

get ahold of orangemazda b2000- he is close to a salvage yard/ engine importer up in Washington state who has a few bongo engines left- that is where I got mine. Kevin (orangemazdab2000) was up there looking for an original fe3, and stubbled across a batch of these engines- and thought- wow- a 12 valve, fuel injected fe head- with distributor on the side- very interesting?!? It opens up a lot of possiblities for us- that is for sure. These engines were/ are produced fairly recently over in japan- so this will be a good swap for us mazda guys when our engines wear out- at 300,000 miles or so.

I would guess the horsepower right now is pretty equivalent to a FI b2200 engine like we have here in the states and canada- about 110 HP, maybe a few more with the pacesetter, and MS with 330cc injectors- free flowing intake and air filter. Mine is only a 1.8 liter- but it's a zingy little sucker.

Initally I'll run the 1.8 bottom end with the turbo, but I have a b2000 bottom end I will most likely build for the truck with forged internals for when I get the truck tuned out.

I alwayd liked the way the 2000 engines reved better than the 2200's- seems like that longer stroke just throws everything off with them. Those b2000's rev like champions's, I think they are the best, and they all have manual adjustable rocker arms- not those dumb hydraulic lash peices of junk.
