Mazda Protege Owner Photos

there may be some truth in that statement. I remember reading a thread a long time ago about 1.8 liters having thicker rods than the 2.0??? so they can hold boost better than the 2.0. I don't remember if that was for the protege or not. It could have been for the Miata though. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

stronger rods or not a 1.8 wud need the extra psi jist to keep up with a 2.0.. if you put a 1.8 boostin the same as i am i will still work him.. simple math
 
WTF lol thats just asking for a hole in your block man, i bet your car is ****** quick though

haha naw man its all in a good tune aslong as you have the mods.. +++++ i run meth ;) FTW lol i actuall am on my 3rd turbo engine is good its the turbo that keeps goin out hah

lol if you say so, that sounds dangerous for a DD
i wish i had a gt28 :( they push so much more air

negative actually runnin a gt28 is safer and more efficient then runnin the t25.. thats where most people go wrong they turn up the boost on the lil turbo jist blowin hott ass air into there engine causin thee damage.. but honestly i won't go any higher then 14psi i fell i'm pushin the limit as it is.. but its possible

I just sat here and looked at this picture wondering why you have all that room in the engine bay...where did you put your battery? I would love to move mine and attempt a wire tuck to get rid of all of the clutter in the MSP engine bay for that clean "JDM" look

1.8 motor is better with boost, I don't remember why but I too read some place they get more whp and are more reliable than the fails-de
