Man I can not believe the Field Break in the yard... :(

- Update with more in depth on the dyno session and everything. I have a lot to catch up on!

With the JDM engine installed last year, I had always been curious on what it actually makes in comparison to the US engine... Above, I have the dyno comparison of the US FSDE engine with bolt-ons that makes 113 hp and 102 tq . And with the JDM FSZE my car put down 132hp and 137tq on...

Man it’s easier then you think. It doesn’t take much.

Video of the Dyno Session

It was time to get back on Atlanta Motorsports Park, this was my first time there with my new seat. And I was so excited to finally be able to be secure in the seat and focus on driving. But I had been struggling all day with grip. I had initially thought it was because the track was cold...

I had the honor of being asked to help the Jzilla Trackday team instruct this event. I dont consider myself a pro, and I treat every event as a learning experience. But I was really humbled to be asked to instruct new students to the group. I had 2 students, one with a STi, and another in a...

I received a better graph of the dyno comparisons of the FSZE with the MP3 Ecu and ZE with the ZE ECU. The numbers are different by 2hp/2tq. But what’s really different is the power band shown in the graphs . I am going to make an effort to install the Ze manifold and dyno it again to see...

Jumping ahead of things ...but I went out and got the car Dynoed last weekend, and was happy that the car made 132hp - 137tq . For reference i have the FSZE , EBay header , injen CAI , Lightweight Crank pulley , 626 intake manifold. The main reason why i went was because i was able to get a...

For some reason i can never get even camber on each side. And i can’t remember if it was like that befor or after i spun out at Road Atlanta. But i have never been able to match the camber visually with the plates on each side.. i plan on investigating it over the winter . Maybe something is...

Also, I do apologize if im explaining things, that we already know. This goes on my automotive site as well.

I had to make a trip down to Daytona to shoot the Jzilla Track Day. And while I was down there I linked up with a friend of a friend who used to have a Protege 5 years ago. And he still had his old VIS carbon fiber hood from years ago..The hood was in pretty bad shape and been halfway paint...

yea the new owner is in one of the FB groups. NExt time the engine comes out a FS wont be going back in lol.

I can easily turbo charge the car, but i really don’t wanna deal with the stress, i just want to be on track and get seat time. I want to get the car sorted to it’s full potential and leave it be. I know the NA FS is a lost cause , but i am lookin to put the car on stand alone and try e85 and...

I wanted to clean up the engine bay for awhile, but i wanted to wait until i knew the car was all good and ready before I started to mess around with anything. I also wanted to install the 1.8 coilpack conversion on the the car as well. This mod is somewhat of an update, it gets rid of the...

It took me a few weeks to find a good replacement engine for the P5 because the car has gotten a lot older and finding good replacements for reasonable prices has become very difficult. Local yards were asking 5-600 for 170,000 mile engines that had been rotting in a yard. After going through...

Its been a few months since the last trackday, and finally after the holidays settled down. I was able to get back in the swing into working on the Protege and make a few changes for 2020.The car has been very reliable and did everything that I asked it to do. First thing was changing the wheel...
