Well looks like I finally found the problem of the oil consumption. Head gasket is blown pretty good. Started tearing it down last night and after sitting over night it was leaking into the timing cover and down the side of the block with the timing cover off of it. Also looks like I may have...

I'd like to pick the brains of some more experinced members. For the past year I've been fighting a poor idling and oil consumption problem. I think I've nailed down the idling problem to the mapp sensor vacuum switch sticking in the vent position. However the oil problem is giving me a fit...

One question on install new cams. If I use cams with the j-spec grind 240 degrees, .003 lift, with a 7 degree overlap will I need to reshim the valves. I finally found the specs on the factory DE cams which have the same valve lift as the ZE cams, just a shorter duration and narrower overlap...

Seems that after installing an AWR header and finishing up the exhaust, finally, im still running quite a bit richer than what i would like (enough to generate a good bit of carbon). For those that have played around with oxygen sensors and headers do you think that there would be much to gain...

Does anyone happen to know what the maxium allowed compression pressure is in psi for the FSDE engine. I know the standard is 171 psi and the minimum is 119 psi, but I haven't been able to find the maximum. BTW, thanks to the person that posted the service manual in pdf form, that has been...

Wondering if anyone with a header on the 2.0L has tried relocating the down stream O2 sensor instead of using the signal modifier to cure the check engine light. My front cat decided it didn't want to live anymore and a nice quality header is the same cost as a new pre-cat. Also if anyone has...

Ok...dumb question....are the P5 and 3rd gen sedan rotors the same. i know the bolt pattern is, just not sure if the overall diameters and tophat back-spacing are the same. i'm looking into getting the kvr crossdrilled/vented rotors, it's just for anything newer than a '00 they only list the...

Ok...i've searched, i know the deal on that, but i just wanna clarify some things before i go to buy a new header. Is the header that is available that everyone is getting the MX6 header and "down pipe" assembly from Rick at mazdaracing? I had heard some rumors on the board awhile back that he...

anyone know of any meets/events goin on around the pittsburgh area the week of 8/11-8/15? i'm gonna be about 20mins outside pittsburgh and figured while i was there i'd check out the scene if something was going on.

Just for the sake of arugment, I'm curious.... what would be the easiest protege to turbo. I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to turbo tuning and applications, so I'd like to try my hand at it on kind of an entry level scale. I know the third gens have horrible ecu's to crack and tune...I...

TURBO3WAGON asked me to post some pics of his older ride. Here they are...enjoy cause its a pretty sweet ride.... Shiny engine

Corksport has a new fascia out and apparently it's being used on the circut city/polk audio protege. Has anybody seen this or got any pics of it...i can't seem to find a pic of the car on the net. I'd kinda like to get an idea of what it looks like on a car since it'd almost be perfect...

Saw a ms protege at a hotel while I was down at Nags Head, NC saturday night...wondered if it was anybody on the board

Finally got a set of wheels....OZ Supperleggera's to be specfic. Tell me what you guys think

I know we have a few members here who dabble in DSM's so I'm hoping i can get the answers I need here. I'm looking at picking up a 95-96 (not sure yet which year) GSX and need some info on it. First off I need the engine code for the 2.0L Turbo motor, secondly I'd like to know if the front and...

It's finally gonna be time to get some new wheels and tires at the end of the month when my tax return gets here. I'm planning on getting a set of OZ Supperleggera Wheels but it looks like tire rack dropped that particular one from the protege's fitment selection. Anyone know if the anthracite...

I know the questions been put out there before so i figured i'd post a link to some really good explinations. I happened to be playing on Mitusbishi's commercial sites and found this...does a nice job of explaining plus it gives a visual right down to the mV readings...

Gotta love new toys....my dad broke down and bought a new motorcycle and since i'd be working on his old one off and on he decided he'd let me have it....i've almost got it running right after screwing with the vacumm lines and emissions system. Just need to get the starter rewound and tune the...

Finally broke down a bought the mazdaspeed carbon knob from Corksport. The stocker's patter sticker had torn all to s*** so..., Tell me what yall think

Thought you guys might find this intresting... Looks like a 13B from what i can tell. the snip under the photo said it was dyno'd at a little over 227HP so it's either warmed over or there's a hell of a lotta drive train loss in stock RX. BTW on the VW subject there's a supposed orginal...
