i have a manual transmission. I put on a cold air intake and a high flow muffler. With that I probably gained 10 hp due to my gtech meter.

reving it to long. i spun a bearing on connecting rod number 8. I bought aftermarket bottom end and had it professionaly installed. and 2 pistons hit the bottom of the head

screw the turbo. ill get a port and polish for half that.

well i bought the protege because i blew my engine on a 1998 mustang gt lol and i spent 4 grand on the rebuild and it still doesnt run. I need help on the protege

lol... you gotta have forged internals for any boost for reliability. My friend had a 1990 talon tsi with forged internals @ 8 psi and blew his motor. Hell I might as well put a 50hp shot of nitrous on my protege if my stock connecting rods can handle 8 psi.

I need help with my 03 protege ES. I'm tired of getting beat by vtecs. how can i get easy hp?

yeah but that is like stock on most turboed cars... Is there forged internals?

....8 psi? that isnt that much lol

My protege looks like mikeslikemazda's protege. except without the carbon fiber hood lol.

Ya maybe i should have bought an wrx sti....

No im not. lol. I had a carfax report done on it and it was a one person owner and I asked the car salesman who just traded it in and he told me it was a 65 year old woman lol. But that car is ******* slow. I guess protege's came out with 4.11s but **** there aint no horsepower to pull the car...

I doubt it... It was owned by a 65 year old woman lol

Yo I must have a rare protege Damn I bought my car of of a dealership and it had the mazdaspeed spoiler already on it.

well maybe i should forget about the protege and work on my 98 mustang gt then

I've had my 03 protege es for about 6 months now and ive installed a cold air intake and a racing muffler. I'm looking to get some serious hp out of the car but i have no idea to get there? I dont have the money for a turbo so would nitrous be a possiblity? And do they bigger cams for better...
