My CAI is custom, i definately did not spend 100$ on it, all you need is silicone couplers and piping of your choice. And when summer comes along, it runs just fine what i was saying was at night it runs better cause its colder outside.

My protege kind of hiccups if i shift really fast when the car is cold, but it only happens when its cold, im not too worried about it though.

if you wanted to turbo your car theres a lot that youd need to do to it. You would need some sort of fuel management, injectors and fuel pump. Also your stock clutch would need to be upgraded, your oil pan would need to be tapped for your oil line. And on top of all that you would have to buy...

Id like to have somewhere around 130whp, im going to dyno it sometime this summer to see what the hp is at right now, im going to say at best its at like 100whp

Actually i find with the CAI if you drive during the day and its like 35 degrees out, then take it out at night once its like ~10 degrees. Your car will run alot smoother and crisper,

That part number PR-12152B is for the cam gears, i already have a hook up for the cam gears, i want the actual camshafts themselves...

I have the obx 4-1 manifold, i noticed that the engine didnt choke out as much in the high rpms, when i put the full exhaust on with the headers it pulled alot more after 4000 rpms

All there is on that site for the 1.6L is the adjustable cam gears, unless the 2.0L cams are a direct fit for the 1.6?

hey all, i was wondering if anyone knew a shop that sells cams for the 1.6L, ive already looked at cams from the ZL-VE but they are also seemingly impossible to find. My other option is to try and find a whole ZL-VE head to swap but that is alot of work. If anyone can help me out it would be...

I know im bringing back an old thread but i was just wondering if there is any news at all on cams for 1.6L?

you wont gain any hp to the wheels, but you will be able to climb your rpms faster.

Would it be possible/worth it to do this on the 1.6l?

does it stumble on light or hard acceleration?

No CEL from the MAF, and as far as 3" being overkill goes, it's not really there for performance it's mostly there for sound, having that 3" section really gives the intake a throaty sound, you can't even hear my exhaust over the intake.

For my 1.6 I have varied intake piping sizes for my CAI, starting at 3" right at the filter which is located in front of the wheel well behind the bumper, then to 2.75" up to the MAF, then 2.5 after the MAF. All I did was cut out the MAF and its pipe from the stock intake and used that little...
