80 Something Probe GT V.S. 91 Accord
 

K i dunno what hit me on this one...but im just driving with my cousin going to get a movie...when this probe...looked so old rolls up and just guns it....and slows down right back beside me...im like ok.....hes got an exhaust..thats all i knew....so i just stomp it...were right beside each other...i was pulling for a minute but then he slowly pulls on me and i hear the biggest whining noise ever (turbo im guessing) and he just beat me by like half a car at most... this thing look like a 88 or something...i have no idea..what kind of engine/horse do those things have...it had like a rear hatch like a 92 Teg Gs...if u know what i mean....:crazy: ;) :eek: :confused:

those years come with turbo.....Pretty fast.. My friend has one with an upgraded turbo and bov it's fast.

ya im actaully thinking THAT guy is prolly surprised i kept with him...heavy ass accord with two minor engine upgrades..lol

they really are like low 16 cars from the factory (the turbo version) its a joke on fords part

A TURBOCHARGED 2.2L MOTOR DEVELOPING A H22A BEATING 145 HP!!!!! :eek: :eek: :crazy: :paranoid: and 190ft lbs of tq

even the 5 spd have trouble going less that 8.0 0-60.

well thats STOCK, modded its anyones game, but aftermarket support isnt the best for those cars ;)

meh..ill be glad if my car is a low 16 right now with these mods.:loco: :loco: GO 4 bangers! lol;) ;) and i dont understand ur 2.2 motor developing sentence...:loco: :loco: :loco:

anyone know the specs on those cars..i cant find it anywhere.....

1st gen probe gt
 

The 1st gen Probe GT (1989-1992) packed a 2.2L 12v turbocharged 4-cyl with 145hp/190tq. The car weighed 2730 lbs. I'm assuming it WAS in fact a GT cause you said you heard the turbo spool up...

lol thats what that sentence meant, the car was a dog, and a sad one at that... turbo and 2.2L should minimum = 200hp not 145

so it had 200 hp..is what ur saying...wow...

nope... im saying it SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST a MINIMUM of 200 horsepower from a 2200cc motor WITH forced induction but it doesnt

its a 12 valve 2.2L with 145 horsepower and 190ft lbs of torque

its a dog same motor in turbo mx-6's of late:pfft:

christ man...im tired after work lol sorry...i was SOOOo confused...well it beats my car in the torque....i might have a few more ponies...i guess the weight kicks in now...im sure its way less then my honda tank lol

Okay, let's sort this out.......

1st gen (88-92) Probe GT's have
2.2L Turbocharged; Engine code: F2T
Made by MAZDA (NOT FORD)
145hp (AT THE WHEELS)
190 lb/ft torque
Boost is at ~7.3 psi stock
Compression is 8.5:1
0-60 is 7.5 sec (Road & Track)

Boost can be raised safely to 12 psi with a cheap manual boost controller without any other mods. To go up to 15 psi, the ECU needs to be reprogrammed, which can be done for about $200.
Fuel modifications usually aren't necessary, as I have seen some go 18-20psi without fuel injector upgrades, except for a high-flow pump.

Several turbo upgrades are available for these cars. The stock turbo maxes out at ~15-16psi, beyond that it is blowing air that is too hot to do any good.

The horsepower measurement was taken at the wheels because for marketing reasons Ford did not want the number too close to the Mustang's.

If you need any more info, let me know.

nah i think i got enough lol, ive seen more than enough at the track running 16's to know that road and track of yores measurements dont mean shit.. 145whp or not the cars were dogs in stock form, and as of now there are too many beaten and abused ones left to set a benchmark by 15 year old standards lol.

I always thought the Turbo Probes had some potential. Problem is that most people who bought them had no intentions of modding them. Plus you don't see many these days, and if you do they're kinda hard to tell apart from the N/A Probes except for the psuedo ground effects with "Turbo" molded into the bumper. All in all not bad cars though. I'd like to see one against a mid 90's Gt...those things were quick for a Probe.

They are not dogs
 

I have a 89 Mazda Mx6 turbo (same engine), and they are not dogs. the probes look like dogs, there very ugly.

when i had an intake, cat-back i beat a RSX type-S and beat him by a car. I also have 4WS, so my car is about 275lbs more than the GT Mx6.

anyway, i got my car dynoed with an intake, cat-back, and boost at 10psi. i had 170hp and 235ftlbs at the wheels. nto much hp but loads of tq. so much for you hondas out there.;)

the only thing that makes the probes dogs is that theyre heavy, and depends on the driver.

im now boosting 15psi, and i got 200hp and 297ftlbs at the wheels. thats with stock fuel pump and injectors.

easily moded for power, just like some Honda/Acura engines.

BTW, here she is

well....turbo vs N/A engine...i dunno...i think u shoulda woulda and did win it..put a turbo in the RSX it might Rape people...nice car BTW....meh whatever it was he just beat me...doesnt matter to me..dog or not..lol

Not like im dissing Honda's, my friends got an Accord like yours its an automatic with cat-back and an intake. its pretty fast for a 4door.

plus there are some FAST ASS Honda's out there, with the right mods. when i get over my car im going Honda/Acura all the way.

i love the sound of :bow: VTEC

lol yea..mines a 2 door....ive beaten some cars i woulda expected to been killed by and vise versa though..ah well...GO ACCORD lol

hey mx6gt its Zookinator from mx6.com!

bout time we get some recognition.. I am sick of some people on these boards who laugh at the 1st gen turbo 6s/probes.. they just narrow minded people who think Mustangs or Honda are god..

As to the Mustang dude who keeps calling our car dogs.. For as much money it takes you to put some sh1t in your car, we can do an engine swap to the FE3, which is a DOHC 2.0l 16v with 170whp stock.. Put a turbo on that and wham @ 12 psi some have recorded whp of 300+ and 400+ torque..

Don't believe me?

www.maxx-motorsports.com

go to street car at the bottom of the side menu.

man...u have a civic? and u put hondas down?...whatever u want...no one was meaning disrespect to "your" cars there..of course the little car not to mention with a turbo and looks like other shit done.. Probably is going to beat the heavy ass minimal shit done too accord..He was just saying they should have more horse for what they have..2.2L turbo or whatever it is...im pretty sure thats all hes saying....christ.. i lost...he got my recognition..:loco: :crazy: :paranoid:

The reason why they have so little horse power is cause they have a 2.2 SOHC, and the turbo is very small. the engine is mainly a torque engine. plus the exhaust ports in the engine dont flow worth shit, thats why bigger turbos dont do much for them.

it will increase hp, but mostly in the high rpm range, which the stock turbo puts out after about 4500rpm.

i know of some turbo mx6 around here that claims 400whp... i dunno anything about it though as far as details. its red or maroon, he raced a friend of a freinds 240sx a few months ago.

400whp?? dayum.....is it a first or second gen MX6? The 2.5L V6 in the 2g MX6 LS is a force to be reckoned with when you strap a turbo on...

Ya that guy is Jay-B do not fu(k with that car. hes the one with the 400+ hp.

its got the FE3 engine which is 2.0 DOHC, but he has a turbo on it. i think his best time is 12 something in the 1/4 mile



its a first gen Mx6

this is the car, besides the huge ass intercooler its a sleeper


This is all its really got

Engine

Stock 2.0 liter FE DOHC 16-valve turbo engine
Custom forged pistons 8.8:1 (to decrease compression ratio)

Fuel Management

SDS Simple Digital System fuel management
850 cc injectors
Walbro 255 intank fuel pump
SX fuel pressure regulator

and boosting 15psi mostly. last i talked to him thats low, he normally boost 20psi.

:bow: Jay-b is worshiped the 1st gens
and so is AdamTurbo, this is his car

]

must through the back in too

EDITED BY MATRIX: BE NICE. :doh:



its not because i have a mustang, my mom has owned 3 probes 1st and 2nd gens, yes they are dogs stock so i also speak from experience.

even a geo modded with a t-03 hybrid on a 1.8dohc storm motor can go 11's and ive seen it, but stock they suck penis.

oh and just to be an asshole to get a fe3 motor swap is easy, huh so you like the idea of going through 15+hours of labor for those numbers?

so by the time you take the battery post off, jack the car up, and dissconnect the airinduction system and shifter linkage and fan, i will have installed a k+n ram air induction system and be well into my way jacking up the rear and draining the gear oil and taking the c clips out to take the axles out to get the gears in.

Then you gotta disconnect the clutch cable and disconnect the tranny from the motor and be hard at work disconnecting throttle linkage from the throttle body and sensors galor, and working at getting every bit of the wiring harness out so you can clear the way, not to mention drain coolant a bit from the radiator so when you disconnect the coolant line to the motor you wont have a huge mess.

by that time ive already checked backlash on the 4.10 gears and tightened everything up and am installing the diff cover back on and filling the rear with gear oil.

then whilst you start disconnecting the exhaust on that turbo mess, i will have installed shorty headers on the car, and be hard at work putting the h-pipe on.

Then you can go on and take the motor mount bolts off once you found a place to lift motor from, carefully do just that (making sure you didnt forget something) like the ACCESSORIES but sometimes you can get away with lifting the motor with them on, by the time you swap the accessories and sensors to your new motor, i will finished up the exhaust system and my 12 second car and will have put the mickey thompson 28x10's on the back wheels.

while you have to REVERSE The whole process to get INTO high 13's with a good driver.

BUT then again you could be a b*tch and pay someone to do it for you.

no im not ignorant but i find it funny when someone who doesnt know me comes out and tells me how easy it is to get a whopping 170whp.

in all fairness i havent broke 12's yet but then again i didnt have everything i stated up there, and i dont sugarcoat my runs, i drive 100 miles to the track and onto the staging lanes. but for street tires with NO positraction, and no powershifting, and no track sugarcoating, and a more restrictive setup (too big throttle body, to big intake manifold, and 24 lb injectors hurt the motor) im happy with my subpar 105mph trap speeds with 500 dollars in aftermarket parts..

and btw just so you know a little about the competition (not that its something to worry about)

bob cosby's mustang page go to chronoligy

he and many others have done 14 flat stock and 12's with boltons although i cant produce similiar numbers cause i have tuning issues.

yes ive seen the fe3 motor pulls some wicked numbers but im just turned off because i got to swap the motor to get there, now i wouldnt mind putting that in a fiesta somehow but...... :pfft:

and therefore you gotta change stuff to make it fast :rolleyes: thats all im saying, in stock form they are slow as shit.

yes, its very suprising to because stock they get there ass kicked by civic si's yet they can really shine when that turbo is put on.... street tire with a decent driver can do 13's all day long

im sure he wouldnt have anything like a custom full exhaust either, or a intake? how does he controll the boost without a boost controller? im sure the stock turbo on that car boosts 20psi easily as well

welcome to the world of ford fanatics, always leaving details out making it seem easy (me included)

:pfft:

What are you talking about? Do you even know anything? I have beaten Si's and GS-R's left and right. I've also gotten beat by a few. I have never seen one get "their ass kicked" by the other unless the modifications were heavier on one side.

You may think you know your Mustang, but you have much more to learn.

The engine is n/a in stock form, thus there is no "stock turbo." :rolleyes:

ah the infamous 2.5L 164hp wonder and 160 WHOPPING v6 TORQUE at 4800 rpms (AND THATS THE LATER MODELS from 94+ WITH A BETTER TQ CURVE) the 93 had 156 piddly tq available to them at an attrociously 4000rpms

that means the h22a is just as torque heavy as this 6 cylinder.


moderator or not stock for stock they are slower in the 1/4 than both those cars with similar drivers. the torque isnt even that great to back up the 2 more cylinders, they are heavier and less powerful, and the 1/4 times are equally as bad.

Ford owners fight! woohoo, never get to see these.. :D *j/k*

ah, my fault, assumptions are my downfall and i apologize :bow:

but that would mean the mod list grows further on the said car then :pfft:

stay tuned next week, while we go in depth about why ford owners think there better than everyone else ;) lol thats all i get around here anyway.

I hope you were being a smart ass, yes he has a boost controller and a 3in turbo back.



When i was stock i beat a RSX Type-S, and the V6's are just about the same in stock form as the turbo 1st gen.

I havent been beat by any Honda/Acrua that i have raced yet, so i dont know what your talking about



our stock turbos are about the size of your fist, they top out at about 12-15psi.



Are you trying to say that working on your car is easier than changing an engine. we all know that, and just to let you know the FE3 uses the F2T(turbo engine) tranny, it can use the ECU, along with the original mounts and axels. So pretty much nothing has to be replaced for the FE3.

I guess people where right when they say that mustang owners are assholes:yes:

wow....all i know is that i got beat..i dont care....i asked an engine question..and now it just turned mental...calm down people..

Blame whats-his-face

ford50forlife:yes:

yup that looks like the car. you dont happen to remeber jay's s14 240sx? the blueish-green one with big wide ass volks on it. the ka24de+t that guys car was insane. 30psi well tuned... he layed down way too much power. he would take down vipers like they were nothing.

he says that the closest race that he was in was a Shelby Cobra.

what i mean close is that they Shelby was catching up to Jay. he takes out Porsches, anything thats in the low 13ish range

i havent asked if hes raced Vipers, but im sure he can do some damage

no i dont remember the 240, ive only known about the mx6.

what happen to your friend that raced Jay though??

I'm not really sure what the point of this post was, except maybe to piss of Ford50forlife. If that WAS the point...mission accomplished. And yes, I'm the Mustang owner that actually praised the capabilities of these cars. But Ford50 is right...bone stock they suck. Sure, they're kinda quick but so is an SVT Focus and the SVT handles better. So you better plug your ears if you wanna stop hearing the laughter cuz it ain't going to stop. Is my Mustang "god"? No. But then again I don't see how an inanimate object could take the form of a diety...my car is not anthropomorphic. I also don't appreaciate you making assumptions about my attitude towards cars. I'm definitely a Ford man but I'm a fan of countless other cars. Why else would I slum here (unless, of course, I was a troll)? But I suppose, compared to your Civic, that my car is, in fact, "god". But it's the old, malevolent god...you know...the one that was always pissed and killed for shits and giggles. That's what kind of "god" my car is.

As for the matter of modding the car...any car can be made fast with the right mods. You didn't do yourself any favors by comparing those mods to those of a Mustang. Mod for mod a V8 would absolutely bury a Mazda 6 or a Probe. I know first hand the wonderous miracle of an engine swap and a turbo install. So, for your 300+hp and 400+lb/ft, in what probably took less time and using the same mods (swap and turbo) I've got 657hp and just a bit more torque. I don't have a calculator handy, but my incredible math skills tell me that's more than double the power. Now I'll bet you're saying "but your engine isn't stock". You're right. But I installed a T03/04 Turbonetics hybrid with a 2 core intercooler on a bone stock 5.0L engine in a '92 GT hatchback that now makes around 430hp (engine hp) and close to 500lb/ft. True, that's with tuning set to "kill" but it's quite a bit more impressive than 300+hp. I had that from a cam and intake swap and some head porting before I ever had the new engine or turbo. So who threw money away there. Hmmmm....

Cam...$250 w/ valve springs, seals, and retainers from Comp
Intake...$550 Holley Systemax
Porting...$350 at local shop
Work...Free...did it in my garage
Knowing you saved a shitload over the Mazda kid for the same power...priceless

I also seem a bit confused that you knocked Honda and own a Civic. Are you a self loather? Did you buy the Honda because you subconsciously wanted to punish yourself since you have such distaste for them? Who am I talking to now Sybil?

Now...Ford50forlife...one small request. Please don't ever EVER mention Bob Cosby's name in my presence. Scratch that...don't mention his name period. That man is a disgrace to Ford owners everywhere with his know it all attitude and the way he runs his site like a boot camp. I got sick of his "my way or the highway" bullshit years ago.

ok first off imma come straight out and say i dont like you, obviously you cant take in words of wisdom and choose to flame me for trying to make you see my side of the arguement.... ok now with that said its great you havent been beaten by any hondas or acuras, neither have i, but then again YOU had to mod to get to that point, your high 15 car stock would basically be lunchmeat for a gsr from anything other than a stop, so thats like me saying well my car smokes vettes ( I HAD TO MOD TO GET THERE) wake up your car (and my car when it comes to vettes) was slower stock, so your arguement holds absolutely no validity except to yourself. great you beat a rsx when you were stock that means you beat a low 15 second CAPABLE car, probably on a low 16 run because he sucked at driving.


no kidding thats what i said.


oh and a v6 probe is NOTHING like the turbo 4 and its a 16 second performer. its a disgrace stock (SEE FIRST POST ON THIS PAGE), id love to see your face when you see a stock v6 probe go up against a stock civic si..... but dont look at me ive only seen it and been in those cars.

Theres an aftermarket for EVERYTHING so theres no point in argueing about the cars stock and how they respond.
I was argueing they suck stock, then you come spewing that motor swaps = teh good!

Well no shit a 460 in my 2640lb notchback would do wonders too!

so basically when all's said an done im a asshole for stating facts am i correct?or am i an asshole because YOU didnt like the TONE of my posts? I dont know why i try to defend myself when people call me out because most of them have nothing to offer but there own opinions on me because they dont like what i said. But then again your entitled to it, if you find that 16 second 1/4 mile performance is not slow then I AM WRONG, its basically opinion based what were argueing neway.

im guessing the tone....but i know nothing about fords..soo ill let u handle it more 50forlife lol

he originally called me out because he had a mazda that was basically just like the car in question, and thought hed shed light to every one of us here... well "some" of us already knew about both those cars and what they are capable of, so i guess that makes us ignorant for stating facts to help you out in your question about how these cars perform stock :pfft:

damn man even matrix took offense when i bashed the v6 probe, now hes the moderator and hes obviously knows a helluva lot :bow: :bow: but BOTH gens of these cars were disgraces to forward accelleration STOCK ESPECIALLY the anemic v-6 as stated above, and shouldnt be held in high esteem because some people set benchmarks for mere fluke victories.

ya i see exactly what ur saying..lol....ah well....:yes: :pfft:

*sighs* When ignorance reigns, the world is lost... Yes ignorant are YOU..

I hate to shun light on you, Mr. Mustang, but you are the owner of a domestic car, are you not? This happens to be an import car thread, and Ford must be some really crappy engineers if they needed to use the Mazda 2.2l for the probe? Do you see Mazda using Ford parts? HELL NO! We like our cars to get good gas mileage and last longer. :pfft::D

Anyways, my MX6 GT is completely stock except for the MBC (Manual Boost Controller) and I am currently running 16 PSI... And let me tell you, I take down SIs, GSRs, and yes sir Mustangs.

That's basically stock.. No intake, no upgraded downpipe or exhaust, just a MBC that cost me $60, and gave me an estimated 80hp gain (not at the wheel obviously).

You know how much an FE3 engine swap costs? $600 for the engine with 30k miles on it. Know how much for a professional install? $500. Know how much an upgraded Turbo that will fit on the FE3 costs? The Garrett T3/T04 costs $500. Looks like my car will be 400whp, and 390lb tq+ for a grand total of $1600.

Of course that doesn't include exhaust, and all the other little goodies, but those won't hurt the wallet too much to take into consideration.

And yes on www.mx6.com (when it comes back up) there's threads about prick Mustang owners, and you seem to be one of the many giving them this stereotype, hope your happy.

BTW Our car looks a lot better than a 5.0 anyways, LOL

Mazda>Ford.

:bow: MAZDA

1.let me start my reply by saying Ford>MAzda because FORD OWNS MAZDA YOU STUPID MOTHERF*CKER!

2. last time i checked that makes you the same as me on this forum just another "outcast" domestic car owner

3. mazda doesnt use ford parts right? please tell me your joking, MAZDA NAVAJO! its a rebadge ford explorer!..... wait a minute, why am i argueing i already said mazda was OW3ND by ford.

4. last time i checked even though this is an import site, they allow people from all walks of life to post because, argueing with yourself would get quite boring wouldnt it? they allow others on to not only shed new light on some subjects but to offer diversity.



ok so your car went from a 16 second warrior to mustang slayer in 1 mod? BULLSHIT. let me begin to tell you why:

1st:
this is a quote from your fellow mx6 brethren if what he says is true, then what you say isnt... and for some reason i believe him over you, just call it a hunch from your lack of knowledge on mazda's background

2nd: could be wrong but the last time i checked your car was equipped with a 4wd system that severly limited your topend potential (COULD BE WRONG I SAW IT SOMEWHERE) if this is true even 9 more psi couldnt save you from a rolling start.

3rd: not to mention you just completely upped the bar on the car without doing 1 OTHER MOD??? cmon you wouldnt been left calling triple a long ago, not to mention you didnt do a thing to fuel delivery or fuel spark curves?? not even a regulator? this wouldnt allow for much gain. GO HOME TROLL NO ONE BELIEVES YOU.




i dont know where to begin here either ok

1st: so your paying 600 for someone elses beater motor?

2nd: proffesional install is 500 dollars. sounds like a backyard hack shop. name 1 legitimate shop that will swap a motor for 500

3rd: ok it "looks" like your car will be 400whp? keep dreaming theres a lot more too it than some idiot slapping a boost controller on it and paying a hack shop to install a motor to getting 400whp. welcome to tuning 101.




now dont i feel owned... THERE IS A "THREAD" ABOUT PRICK MUSTANG OWNERS??? OH NO! :eek: LET ME RUN FOR THE HILLS!
that doesnt prove a damn thing, and if the mx6 registry is anything like the what has been shown here i could care less what those idiots think. there are bad examples of owners of every walk of nameplate sporting life.

so what your saying (and the other mx6 owner [at least this one KNOWS what hes talking about ]) is that im an ignorant mustang hick for saying that probes, and mx6's and anything else that sported the 2.2L sohc turbo motor stock was a disgrace stock? well then im a hick because it is. AND THATS ALL I SAID, then i get mx6 monkeys jumping down my back clawing my eyes out telling me im wrong because theyve modded there car and its fast.

im glad you think your car looks better than a 5.0 thats why your entitled to your own opinion, but its my opinion you live in a dream world when you speak of forward motion.



yup i think you cant own yourself anymore in a thread.

poor redman....

lol...wwooww....:loco: :crazy: :bandit:

hehe i take pride in calling bs ;)

i can see that for the last two pages..lol
