F Series started in the Gen 2 626 from 1983 when the 626 went from RWD to FWD. Previous 626 was the MA parts are not interchangeable.
Other Cars to get the F Series are as followed:
- Mazda B2000
- Mazda B2200
- Mazda E2000
- Mazda E2200
- Mazda Bongo Van (1983 onwards???)
Variants of the F Series (Different Types)
F6 1.6lt OHC 8v
was dropped in 89
F6. 1.6 litre, more common in GC run, though GD body shells (esp. 87) were known to have them. Other name is B6A (ONLY through GC run)....... yes early version of B6.
Was available in 8 valve carby and 12 valve carby...... the rarest one of ALL is 12 valve EFI. First time ive seen one that was in CapellaGTS' car..... Came across another one here.
Essentially these engines are only good enough for paperweight or some parts for FE/F2/F8.
F6 specs:
Power: 73 ps (53.69 kW) / 5500 rpm
Torque: 12.4 kg*m (121.60 N*m) / 3500 rpm
Compression: 8,6
Bore x Stroke: 81 x 77
F8 1.8lt SOHC 8v /DOHC 16v
run through GC and GD (GV-GDII)
F8 SOHC specs:
Power: 82 ps @ 5500 rpm
Torque: 13.6 kg*m @ 2500 rpm

Bore x Stroke: 86 x 77
F2 2.2lt OHC 12valve- F2/T 2.2lt OHC 12valve Turbo
run only though GD(well and GVII through GE run)
This engine came in a turbo version, the first intercooled F series engine stock and has the F2T gearbox stronger type compared to the standard non turbo F2. Forged internals to handle the extra hp. uses the same block primarily as the FE engine though it has been stroked to 2.2lt.
F2 specs:
Power: 110hp @ 4,700 rpm
Torque: 130nm @ 3,000 rpm
Compression: 8.6:1

FE EFI/Carby 2.0lt OHC 8v - FE/T 2.0lt OHC 8v Turbo
run though GC and GD (GV-GDII)
FE EFI specs:
Power: 93 @ 5,000 rpm
Torque: 115 ft/lb @ 2,500 rpm
Compression: 8.6:1
Bore x Stroke: 86mm x 86mm

Compression: 8.6:1
Bore x Stroke: 86mm x 86mm
FE 12 Valve / EFI/Carby 2.0lt SOHC 12v
yes, the FE engine did come 12v stock once upon a time there was a Carby and EFI type though it is very rare to find such an engine in a car stock.
FE 12 Valve Carby specs:
Power: 85hp @ 4,800 rpm
Torque: 118ft/lb @ 2,500 rpm
Compression: 8.6:1
Bore x Stroke: 86mm x 94mm
FE 12 Valve Carby specs:
Power: 85hp @ 4,800 rpm
Torque: 118ft/lb @ 2,500 rpm
Compression: 8.6:1
Bore x Stroke: 86mm x 94mm
FE DOHC - DOHC 16v
The engine first came out in 1988.
There are 3 types of FE-DOHCs out there.
Japan got FE-ZE
SE Asia Got FE-DOHC and FE-ZE.
NZ got FE-DOHC
Europe got Leaded and Unleaded FE-DOHC
Unleaded FE-DOHC is the same as FE-DOHC from SE Asia and NZ same as FE-DOHC in KIA sportage..... All are 9.2 comp
Leaded FE-DOHC is Europe only, ether with FE3N cams or FE5A cams..... There is another set of cams I can't remember.....
FE-ZE was mainly jap release, its 10.0 Comp, has FEAP cams and usually has FENJ ecu
FE DOHC 16v specs:
Power: 150ps @ 6,500 rpm
Torque: 18.8kg-m @ 4,500 rpm
Compression: 10:1
Bore x Stroke: 86mm x 94mm
Interchangble Parts Between F Series Motor's
F2 Parts on a FE
: Head
: Head Gasket
: Water Pump
So the FE parts would fit onto the F2 Block but are considered as a down grade some what in my opinion.
FE DOHC parts on a FE/F2
: Head <-- THIS WILL NOT FIT. The oil passages don’t line up.
: Bottom End (Crank / Pistons / Rods) As far as I know the bottom end will swap straight as the FE DOHC uses the same crank as the FE and F2 but the FE DOHC has oil squirters though if the crank wont fit in you can use the Rods and Pistons. They will give the FE a higher compression and the F2 a lower compression
Engine Swaps
Cars with FE SOHC Carburetted you have the follow routes to follow.
1. FE SOHC EFI
2. F2 EFI
3. F2 Carburetted
4. F2/Turbo
5. FE DOHC
6. FE DOHC with turbo (custom turbo manifold needed)
7. FE/T Monopoint Injection
Now, gearboxes...the next thing you have to worry about when doing swaps. As far as I know all the F Series boxes will bolt up.
I would recommend the following gearboxes for each application
FE Box - FE / F6 / F8 / F2
FE/T Box - FE/T / FE / F6 / F8 / F2 / F2/T (low boost)
F2 Box - FE/T (low boost) / FE / F6 / F8 / F2 / F2/T (low boost)
F2/T Box - FE/T / FE / F6 / F8 / F2 / F2/T / FE DOHC / FE DOHC TURBO
