The F engine family from Mazda is a mid-sized inline-four piston engine with fe cake, alloy head and chugalug-driven SOHC and DOHC configurations. Introduced in 1983 as the ane.half-dozen-litre F6, this engine was establish in the Mazda B-Series truck and Mazda 1000 platform models such equally Mazda 626/Capella too as many other models internationally including Mazda Bongo and Ford Freda clone, Mazda B-series based Ford Courier, Mazda 929 HC and the GD platform-based Ford Probe

At that place were 4 basic head types within the F range, the diesel SOHC eight-valve (R-serial), the petrol SOHC eight-valve, petrol SOHC 12-valve, and the petrol DOHC 16-valve. These heads came attached to multiple variations of the unlike blocks and strokes. Only the petrol 8-valve and 12-valve shared the same gasket pattern. It was congenital at the Miyoshi Plant in Miyoshi, Hiroshima, Nippon.

Predecessors (VC/MA) [edit]

These engines are only the predecessors to the F-series engines, in no other manner related. They were fitted to rear-bike bulldoze models in a longitudinal arrangement. This is in contrast to the successor engines that were designed for transverse front-wheel bulldoze applications as had go the trend in the late-1970s and early on-1980s.

VC [edit]

The VC is a one.eight Fifty (1,769 cc) overhead camshaft inline-four, with a bore and a stroke of 80 mm × 88 mm (3.fifteen in × iii.46 in). It was all new in 1975 and has an alloy eight-valve head on an atomic number 26 cake. Output varied considerably depending on market and installation, in a 1981 UK-market B1800 it is 84 hp (63 kW; 85 PS) DIN at 5000 rpm and 13.7 kg⋅m (134 N⋅m; 99 lb⋅ft) at 2500 rpm.^[1]

Applications:

1975–1978 Mazda Luce / 929
1975–1977 Mazda Cosmo / 121
1977–1981 Mazda Luce / 929
1977–1984 Mazda B1800/Continue PE2V
1978–1982 Mazda Capella/626
1972–1978 Ford Courier
1978–1983 Mazda Bongo
1974-1977 Mazda Parkway

MA [edit]

The 2.0 L (1,970 cc) was designated MA. Bore was every bit for the VC, lxxx mm (3.15 in), but stroke was increased to 98 mm (3.86 in). This SOHC engine with a ii–barrel carburettor produced 89 hp (66 kW; ninety PS) and 109 lb⋅ft (148 N⋅m). A more fuel-efficient 1–barrel version produced 77 hp (57 kW; 78 PS). Other capacities were available in some markets, such as the NA 1.6 L, but this engine is closer related to the smaller fours used in the Familia/323. Later on, this engine was designated the F.

Applications:

1981–1982 Mazda Luce/Mazda Cosmo
1975–1980 Mazda Luce/929
1979–1988 Mazda 929 Wagon
1979–1982 Mazda Capella/626
1977–1985 Mazda B2000 (Officially, there was no 1985 twelvemonth model for the B-Series in the USA. They skipped to 1986 for this line of vehicles for that market place.)
1977–1985 Ford Courier (The Ford Courier was canceled in the U.s. in 1982 to brand room for the Ford Ranger the post-obit year. The USA marketplace Ford Couriers used the Ford built Lima ii.3L inline-4 engine derived from the Ford Pinto.)

F6 [edit]

The smallest of the F-family engines is the F6 viii-valve SOHC engine. Substantially a de-bored and de-stroked version of the base FE two.0 with a bore and stroke of 81 mm × 77 mm (three.19 in × 3.03 in). At a compression ratio of 8.6:1, output is 73 hp (54 kW; 74 PS) at 5500 rpm and 89 lb⋅ft (121 North⋅thou) at 3500 rpm. Information technology replaced the F/NA 1.6 from the previous generation.

Applications:

1983–1987 Mazda Capella/626
1983–1985 Mazda B1600

F8 [edit]

A destroked FE at 77 mm (3.03 in), the ane.8 L (ane,789 cc) F8 comes in several configurations including a 12-valve head and fuel injection subsequently in its life. It has a very high rod/stroke ratio of 2:1, bore and a stroke of 86 mm × 77 mm (iii.39 in × 3.03 in). With a compression ratio of eight.6:1, ability output is 80 hp (sixty kW; 81 PS) at 5500 rpm and 98 lb⋅ft (133 Due north⋅m) at 2500 for the 8-valve SOHC carburetted versions.

Applications:

1983–1991 Mazda Capella/626
1988-1992 Mazda Persona/Eunos 300
1984-2005 Mazda Bongo/Ford Econovan
1989-1994 Kia Majuscule
1988-1991 Kia Hold
1993-1999 Asia Motors ROCSTA

F8-DOHC [edit]

The F8-DOHC is a DOHC F8 and basically a de-stroked version of the Atomic number 26-DOHC displacing ane.8 50 (1,789 cc). It uses the same exhaust cam, but a different intake cam with less elevator and a long, single-runner intake manifold. The F8 is usually identified by its unpainted cam embrace. Output was 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) at 6000 rpm and 115 lb⋅ft (156 Due north⋅m) at 5000 rpm. It is unremarkably constitute in wagon variants.

Applications:

1988–1996 Mazda Capella/626
1990-1992 Mazda Persona/Eunos 300

FE [edit]

The 2.0 Fifty (i,998 cc) FE has a square 86 mm (3.39 in) diameter and stroke. It was available as an 8-valve SOHC and 12-valve SOHC. Outputs are 82 PS (60 kW; 81 hp) at 5000 rpm and 152 N⋅chiliad (112 lb⋅ft) at 2500 rpm for the 8-valve carburetor version, or 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp) at 5300 rpm and 178 North⋅m (131 lb⋅ft) at 3700 rpm with fuel injection, 12-valve SOHC and a college compression ratio (10.0:1 vs 8.6:1).

Applications:

1983–1991 Mazda Capella/626
1982-1987 Ford Telstar
1985–1987 Mazda B-Series
1985–1999 Mazda E-series
1981–1990 Mazda 929
1987-1995 Kia Concur

FET [edit]

The 2.0 L (1,998 cc) fuel-injected, turbocharged FET version of the FE produced 135 hp (101 kW; 137 PS) at 5250 rpm and 175 lb⋅ft (237 Due north⋅m) at 2800 rpm. It was a variant of the viii-valve SOHC Atomic number 26 Featuring a pocket-size turbocharger and no intercooler producing 7 psi (0.48 bar) of boost. Every bit such it features the same 86 mm (3.39 in) bore and stroke of the FE. The Japanese variant of this engine was dubbed the Magnum Turbo. Given that the acme power for the naturally aspirated, fuel-injected Atomic number 26 is 118 hp (88 kW; 120 PS), the rated power for the FET is said to be bourgeois.

Applications:

1986–1987 Mazda Capella/626
1986–1987 Ford Telstar Turbo
1986–1987 Mazda 929 coupe

FE-DOHC [edit]

The Atomic number 26-DOHC is the 16 valve DOHC variant of the FE. Normally called the FE3 because of its head castings, information technology was used in some 626s from Europe, New Zealand and Japan; but not the U.Due south. or Australia. Subsequently the GD platform stopped product in 1992, Fe-DOHCs continued production until the terminate of the GV railroad vehicle in 1997. The Fe-DOHC was as well produced under license by Kia for the 1995+ Kia Sportage.

The FE-DOHC shares the same dimensions every bit the original FE-SOHC, including the foursquare 86 mm (3.39 in) bore x stroke and it has an platonic ane.74 rod/stroke ratio. The Iron-DOHC is ordinarily identified by a gold coloured cam cover, still non e'er. There were at least five unlike Fe-DOHC engines available with various compression ratio, camshaft and ECU tuning combinations nonetheless none were fitted with a turbocharger from the factory. Unlike many DOHC engines, this engine has a non-interference valvetrain design, making periodic timing belt changes important only non vital to the engine's life. Should the timing belt pause the engine shouldn't need to exist replaced as piston and valvetrain damage is unlikely.

Applications:

1988–1997 Mazda Capella/626
1991–1993 323 200i (Southward Africa)
1992–1993 Ford Laser two.0iRS and Meteor 2.0 16v (South Africa)
1995–2003 Kia Sportage^[ii]
1992-1995 Kia Agree

F2 [edit]

The F2 is a stroked version of the Fe with a bore and stroke of 86 mm × 94 mm (3.39 in × three.70 in), for a displacement of 2.2 L (ii,184 cc). Introduced for the 1988–1992 GD platform cars, it tin can besides be found in the B2200 pickup and Ford Probe. A high-output variant of the F2 coded F2H2 was used in RWD configuration in the Mazda 929 HC. The compression ratio was raised to 9.2:1 and produced 127 hp (95 kW; 129 PS)/141 lb⋅ft (191 Northward⋅m). Although available as an 8-valve SOHC in the B2200, this engine is most ordinarily a 12-valve SOHC. With an 8.half-dozen:1 compression ratio, information technology generates 110 hp (82 kW; 112 PS) at 4700 rpm and 130 lb⋅ft (176 N⋅m).

Applications:

1986–1991 Mazda 929
1988–1992 Mazda 626
1988–1992 Mazda MX-half dozen
1989–1992 Ford Probe
1987–1999 Mazda B2200

F2T [edit]

The F2T is a turbocharged version of the F2 equipped with an IHI-supplied RHB5 VJ11 turbocharger and an air-to-air intercooler. Internally the engine retains its bore and stroke of 86 mm × 94 mm (3.39 in × 3.70 in), only has a lower compression ratio of seven.8:1. Information technology produces 145 hp (108 kW; 147 PS) at 4300 rpm and 190 lb⋅ft (258 N⋅g). It is rumored that this figure was produced at the drive wheels, as this engine was suspected to be under-rated. However Mazda had only ever quoted these figures as SAE Internet and DIN which are crankshaft rating standards, as required past police in the countries where the cars were sold. Due to the increased torque output, Mazda was forced to increment the strength of the transmission for the F2T, producing the H-type, the strongest FWD gearbox Mazda produced at the time.

Applications:

Mazda 626 GT
Mazda MX-6 GT
Ford Probe GT
Ford Telstar TX5 Turbo

R-serial [edit]

The R-series engines are diesel variants that are very closely related to the F-series, sharing essentially the aforementioned engine cake.

Later engines with 'F' nomenclature [edit]

The FS and FP are structurally different from the original F-blocks with much smaller diameter spacing, much shorter deck superlative and smaller caput and periodical dimensions. The FS and FP are more closely related to the Mazda BP engine than they are with the original F-engine.

FS [edit]

The 2.0 L (1,991 cc) FS has a bore and stroke of 83 mm × 92 mm (3.27 in × iii.62 in) and produces 130 hp (97 kW; 132 PS) and 135 lb⋅ft (183 N⋅m) in its nearly mutual variant up to 170 hp (127 kW; 172 PS) in the Japanese domestic market. In 1998 the engine evolved into the FS-DE by undergoing several changes, near notably a distributorless ignition every bit well as the move from hydraulic lifters to solid shim-on-saucepan lifters. Japan received a couple of variations of the FS motor, all with increased power outputs. The highest being the Mazdaspeed Familia version of the FS-ZE which produced 170 hp (127 kW; 172 PS). Mazdaspeed United states decided to turbocharge the US FS-DE, known as the FS-DET in 2003 for the Mazdaspeed Protegé and it generated 170 hp (127 kW; 172 PS) and 160 lb⋅ft (217 N⋅chiliad), the aforementioned hp rating as the naturally aspirated Mazdaspeed Familia edition FS-ZE but with a sharper torque curve. This means that the Mazdaspeed Protegé'southward engine is internally identical to the regular FS-DE, except with a turbocharger installed.

The updated FS-DE engine did enjoy a few modest technical features, such as:

Oil Squirters
VICS (Variable Inertial Charge Arrangement) - A system that can vary the volume of the intake manifold resulting in a broader ability ring. There were known issues with this system, the most noteworthy was a defect which allowed screws that secured the VICS butterfly valves to come up loose and end up being sucked into the engine. Some engines had to exist replaced entirely due to the extent of the damage acquired.^[3]
VTCS (Variable Tumble Control System) - A set of butterflies in the intake manifold that would close to promote low emissions combustion nether cold kickoff at low engine speeds. These had a reputation of existence noisy at times.
Windage Tray

Applications:

1993–2002 Mazda 626
1993–1997 Mazda MX-half dozen
1999–2001 Mazda MPV (Japan)
1999–2003 Mazda Capella
2001–2003 Mazda Protegé
1993–1997 Ford Probe
1993–1999 Ford Telstar
1999-2006 Kia Carens

FP [edit]

The 1.eight L (one,839 cc) FP is a destroked version of the FS, with a bore and stroke of 83 mm × 85 mm (3.27 in × 3.35 in). It produces 122 hp (91 kW; 124 PS) and 120 lb⋅ft (163 N⋅grand). This engine is oft incorrectly called the F8, which is the earlier destroked engine based on the FE. The FP enjoys a much better power ring vs the FS due to slightly dissimilar camshafts and a better rod ratio over the regular FS-DE.

The FP is very close to the FS in many means and shares a big percentage of parts but has its own FP specific block, crank, rods, pistons and timing belt. The pistons for the FS produce a pinch ratio of 9.i:ane (USDM) but when FP pistons are used in the FS they yield ix.7:1 compression ratio. The biggest operation departure is that the European ane.8L FP & 2.0L FS both have maximum pinch of 15 bar (220 psi) vs the Northward American ii.0L FS which has a maximum compression of 11.5 bar (167 psi). The KL & FS ATX engines both crave ten° BTDC ignition timing while the FS MTX & FP crave 12° BTDC. The FP does not share the same G25M-R transmission equally the FS. In the Protegé information technology uses a F25M-R instead.

Applications:

1992–1993 Eunos 500
1997–2001 Mazda Capella/Mazda 626
1999–2000 Mazda Protegé (ES models merely)
1998-2003 Mazda 323 Astina & Protege (Australia)
