I blew my stock FS-DE in january, and just dropped in another stock motor (de), but beefed it up. Its pretty peppy, high rpms are alot more impressive. When i looked into the fs-ze, you'll need alot more than just the motor, you'll also need the ECU, harness, etc. So personally, i preferred the...

Ive always ran at least 92, and 93 whenever I can. theres only one station here that pumps 93 and its nowhere near anything. But I understand what your saying, Ive heard that before (about the gas).

So did mine. But what would make a piston shatter at 38,000 miles? seriously? You can blame the spark plug or whatever, but its almost undeniable that the underlying cause of this blown motor is the nitrous. is it not?

Pistons dont just crumble at 38,000 miles!

I had denso iridium IK20s, and I checked them every month.

Oh yeah, Im not talking crap on anyone. Im just trying to warn everybody so this doesnt happen to you. Because now im in a big financial hole! And it sucks! If anyone wants to run N2O, go ahead, but im just letting you know about my experience. I ignored warnings as well, but whatever makes ya...

I had the nitrous on throttle switch, so it might be spraying about 15 to 16 seconds max, I ususally ran it just through 2nd and 3rd. Everybody (even the mazda dealership) said it was the nitrous. Supposedly what happened was the spark plug melted some time ago and has been constantly arcing in...

Whats up everybody? Well last night I pulled the head to see what kinda damage I was looking at replacing since my motor went pop. Here are the pics, kinda shocking huh? ( http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/324030/2 ) I have been running rich and had no problems at all. Came around a corner and...

thomas knight's stroker kit is a combination of other companies parts (not his), from high quality companies like JE, Eagle, etc. Ive heard about crappy turbo kits, but as far as the stroker kit, its only organized by him, not created.

any prices yet??? Do you have part #s for anything yet? Especially the manley valves? Im needing them asap!!!

Whats up everybody? Well I killed my motor this week! I blew a hole in the cyl 1 piston, melted the spark plug, blew the head gasket, and trashed enough of the internals I have a handful of metal pieces in my collection pipe mesh. But I was wondering if anyone could answer any of these...

I have a 50 shot wet on my p5, and I dont care what anybody says, i love it. I hate to quote such a cheesy movie but its true, "winnins winnin". The whole point of buildin a car is to make it go fast, and nitrous does just that, so why complain? I dont knock anything that makes a car go fast...

c'mon people, hook me up!!

ok, heres the story: I bought new KYB E-spec struts for the front b/c the Ground Control coilovers were making a ton of noise and about to go out, so the e-spec struts require new sway bar end links. When i went to remove the stock end links i stripped the bolt on the back side. I broke them off...

Whats up everybody? I burnt a hole in my halfshaft outter boot recently and last night the temporary replacement crapped-out. I have searched everywhere and all parts stores dont even show a listing on a part or even halfshaft, and mazda wants $75 for just the boot!!! Anyone know where I can get...

I wish somebody would make some cool fenders for the protege5, and now the z3's that every honda has, but something different.

Does anyone know what the stock compression is on the P5??? I know the mazdaspeed high compression pistons put the comp at 10.7 to 1, but how much hp would that translate to?

Ive seen a Fidanza 9lb flywheel on a Probe GT and its pretty sweet, revs so fast you wont believe your ears. But ive heard it throws off the balance of the crank which will cause problems over time.

Im not a big fan of solid colored tint, but I think it looks cool if you use it under black tint or to fill in cutouts in black tint. One tint i do like is Folia Tec mirrored color tint, but its kinda expensive and very illegal.

I am focusing my question more on the compatibility of the FS-ZE parts on the Protege5 (American domestic market) motor. Ive heard of people having problems, but want to find out.
