FET

The 8-valve turbocharged FET version of the FE produced 116 hp (87 kW) and 137 ft·lbf (186 N·m). The Japanese variant of this engine was dubbed the Magnum Turbo.

Applications:

FE3

The FE3 was a DOHC variant of the FE. Officially called the DOHC FE, it was used in some European and Japanese Mazdas, but no American ones. However, you can find it in the U.S. in the '95+ Kia Sportage. It can be fitted with a crankshaft from the F2 to produce 2.3 L. A high-compression variant of the FE3 exists and can be distinguished by its gold cam cover.

F2

2.2 L F2 - 2184 cc (86x94 mm) - Stroked 12-valve version of the FE. Found in the first-generation Mazda MX-6 and Ford Probe, 1988-1992 Mazda 626, and 1987-1993 B2200.

The F2T is a turbocharged F2 with 3 valves per cylinder and an air-to-air intercooler. Used in the 1988-1992 Mazda MX-6 Turbo and the 1988-1992 Mazda 626 Turbo, it produced 144 hp (108 kW) and 190 ft·lbf (258 N·m).

FS

The 2.0 L (1991 cm³) FS was one of the last F-family engines. With an 83 mm bore and 92 mm stroke, it produced 130 hp (97 kW) and 135 ft·lbf (183 N·m). In 1999 the engine underwent several changes, most notably a distributorless ignition and was called the FSDE.

Applications:

A special turbocharged version of the FS was produced for the 2003 Mazdaspeed Protegé. It produced 170 hp (127 kW) and 160 ft·lbf (217 N·m).

In Japan a higher-performance version of the 1993-1997 FS engine was offered with a distributorless ignition and higher compression ratio, known as the FSZE.
