    Nitrous on stock mp3 engine?

    It all depends on how much you plan on using it. The MP3 has advanced timing from stock. Nitrous and advanced timing are not a good combination. If you plan on doing this I suggest you get your hands on a Protege5 ecu or a J&S Safeguard.

    cheap power combination

    I would not say a couple of grand but, some money definately went into tuning and as for the racing fuel, Yes, he's running 13.0:1 compression which requires high octane fuel. you can run on 93 octane gas up to 12.5:1 compression ratio. His car was only an example. I'm not saying that you will...

    cheap power combination

    Well I Don't Think so. If you check out the new Sport Compact Car Magazine you will see an ad on Roger Foos' Protege5. They have done the same modifications I mentioned earlier (Higher Compression, Engine Management, Custom Cams, Racing header) and you will see they are pushing 225whp on a...

    High Compression Pistons

    That's what I thought! In Street Touring you have to use the stock motor. You can work on it all you want but it has to be a stock motor.

    The vented hood from DG Motorsports is actually a Hood and the AEM Ram Air Intake. I wonder how the inside of the hood looks like. (redp5)

    cheap power combination

    Well, First of all we have to throw away the stock cpu (and flow meter) and replace it with an engine management system like haltec or e-manage from greddy if we want to see some real Horsepower Gains. Then get some custom made Pistons from 11.5:1 - 12.5:1 Compression Ratio (0.25 Oversize...

It's all about taste and what your willing to spend on your project (Notice I said Project not Mods). The most...
