Yeah it really does suck to look out one window and see smoke rolling and look out the other window and it's clear as day.

RFL=Really ******* Loud. Its a BOV from TURBOXS

I have an lsd in my car and i don't have torque steer? I feel a very very slight pull to the left, but not like it was when it was stock.

Yeah man I know the feeling. Just without the s-pipe.

Yeah but torque steer's a b****!

I know this is irrelevant, but the RFL is what is ran. That BOV was the s***. I sounded like a damn school bus coming down the street.

Honestly dude, I have never heard of that problem. If anything wrenching down on the tensioning to much wouldn't be to good to do.

Yeah it does mean that. It just wires right in so when you scroll through looking at your temps and stuff you'll see it. It's actually really good. Or atleast its alot better then the standard A/F guage that doesn't tell you s***.

Now that I've decided to keep my car and do a full rebuild. I'm very interested. Any chance of being to stiff and spinning axles? I had a H22 in one of my hatchbacks that was real good and stiff and i spun axles all the damn time.

All i was running was stock boost sometimes 10-11 lbs. I never had it dyno tuned. My intercooler blew off on me ALOT and one night it happened when i was running this guy, I had the lead so I just kept on gunning it. Next thing I knew Dr. Detenation had my ass in the palm of his hand and BANG...

yeah i have already shattered the 3rd gear in the car once before. Its kind of a headache dealing with the car. The only reason why i just don't sell it is because it was my daughters first car ride home.(yeah thats right. 1st ride-TURBO!) I'm just used to making 350 hp by slapping a turbo on...

i mean as far as turbo's and internals if have found alot of info of this site as well as protegegarage.com which is very impessive site, but my biggest deal is the tuning of the car and the head work. I see what piston's and rods you guys run, but not too much on cams, vavles, springs etc...

thanks for the advise!

what is the model of IHI turbo you are using? vj-11?vj-23? etc vf22 what are you using for fuel management? greddy e-manage what are you doing to control timing at 17psi?haven't got there yet do you have a wb02? Do you have good gas?had the uego, but it was stolen

Not to stray off topic, but i unfortunately put the buddy club kit on the car as well. does anybody want a kit? I personally feel that it takes away from the car showing its true potental.

What i meant by 4k was, that is all i put on it. i bought it with 63k. The wastegate started sticking and doing anywhere from 14 to 17 lb spikes. That and i cracked my #3 piston and ran the car one night anyway. won the race, but blew my motor on the way home.

I have had my protege ES 2.0 for 3 years and in those 3 years i've only put right at 4k miles on it. I did a few mods: Turbo, lowered, gauages etc.... I blew the motor and it has just sat there at my garage for about a year now and i am finally deciding to FULLY rebuild it. Money is not really...
