    building up to turbo

    You are going turbo and want to know what to buy. My opinion is buy an emanage, buy upgraded injectors and buy an upgraded fuel pump. These three items would be my first suggestion. Exhaust wont save your motor, ecu wont save your motor. What are cars lack from factory is a good fuel setup...

    WARNING! All Turbo MP3's

    Its funny to here you guys analyze the problem of the protege motor. First off big ben was running a fmu, i tell all of you people out there who run a fmu, will most likely damage their motors, secondly big ben (dont know if you tuned your car) probably never took his car to a dyno to see how...

    Dyno Day at GarageAdvance

    The turbo mp3 is in progress still havent put it together but as spooling told me the timing retard on the emanage is not working properly. I am thinking of selling my car and getting a miata wit 1.8 and turbocharging it. 400hp on stock motor with standalone and t3-t4 might be fun. But if I...

    Dyno Day at GarageAdvance

    Thanks Chris, A lot of people believe that you need built bottom ends and crazy amounts of money into your motor to make it move. The most expensive mod which doesnt cost a lot is TUNING. Without proper tuning there is no point in putting any money into anything. Just let me know if you guys...

    How much power?

    In order to race the likes of an SRT-4 you would probably only need 190-200whp and about 200-210lbs of torque. All those with the MSPs, a efficient front mount, exhaust, intake, boost controller, bigger injectors, fuel pump should be enough to get you where you need to be. But number one thing...

    I think I broke a rod...

    Linux you were using an fmu of sorts right? You may have gone dead lean and that could of caused the breakage of rod. I have heard bad tings about fmu's. I tell all now who have a turbo kit, take your car to the closest dyno and tuning shop and tell them to strap it on with a wideband air/fuel...

    greddy evo is out

    the gains will not be as significant due to the fact that the exhaust manifold and the two cats are our main power robbers in the exhaust department. With a good header and the greddy evo you should see gains of 12-15 whp since people claim 10-12 with just the header. Omar

    N/A? or Turbo?

    you can get a haltec or tec2 for like 900-1100 depending on what condition it is. These things are all you need, everybody talking about 1500+ for standalone why, haltec costs about 1000 and most 8,9,10 second cars use them why not a 13 second protege.

    N/A? or Turbo?

    turbo or n/a, the question that ponders throughout the forums. GO turbo, you get a lot of power, dont worry that the pistons could melt, or you could bend the rods, dont worry that there is no efficient way to tune the motor w/o standalone, dont worry guys just use an fmu its safe. trust me i...

    High compression

    High compression

    200whp N/A and 200whp turbo are to different things. How many times do you see all motor civics beating a basic bolt on turbo civic. The power bands for both cars are completely different. And the price actually should be less than a complete turbo kit. My estimations on price would be close...

    High compression

    N/A Set-up When you people talk about N/A setups you forget many things. If you want some serious N/A power the head is the place to do it. THe H.C. pistons are good for N/A but without air there is no power. N/A List Port n Polish 5 angle valve job valve springs retainers camshafts cam...

    AWR Motor Mounts (Dont use front and rear for everyday driving)

    What process did you use to get the rear mount in there. I have put on the front in like 10 mins or less but I still havent figured which way to attack the rear. And to say the mounts are stiff they are, the factory frount mount is ridiculous you can bend it completely back with your hand I...

    Finally took my car down to the track

    Thats faster than the new mazdaspeed protege and you are running less boost and dont have an lsd. And like you said if you get a decent clutch with a light flywheel it should put you at 14.9-15.1 1/4 mile times, Good work.
