um wow is the fact that he wanted to put a gt45 turbo on a protege. and run atleast 30 psi on a protege. dude do some research on this car. im gona say to just get a turbo and run 8 psi get it from speed circut. when you get the turbo kit get an ss afc. learn how to take care of a turbo car and tune with that set up before you forge a motor. if you do it the way your planing on with the intelect your showing your just gona blow it up research about how our cars handle boost and what goes wrong with them. do you even know about our bad oil pump or what to do that can fix it? research dude cause your seriously coming out like an idiot right now not to be a dick or anything just saying how it is. you dont even know that an intake kit will be completely different for na than it will be for turbo

well you do sound like a dick i do kno the intake is different idk wtf ur talkin about sure arent helpin me by criticizingme and i wasnt gonna try and run 30 psi i just said i wanted a turbo tht goes up to 30 psi thanks have a good day

wow. just... wow.

so, again, you are buying all these fancy engine parts from speed circuit, and you dont want to buy their turbo kit because its too expensive?

lets see... $1000 on an intake manifold... $1300 on the cylinder head... $3300 on the engine... ~$700 for gaskets and bolts... $2000+ for a clutch and diff to handle all that mad powah... and you are not willing to pay the $3700 for their turbo kit?

seriously, if you haven't already, pick up the phone and talk to them. or at least get into an email exchange with "HKPRO5" on a package deal. or, better yet, figure out your power goals and work from there. you have an 2003 LX with the 2.0 engine already. as long as the engine hasn't seized, you can build it up for FAR less than buying a fully built engine from speed circuit, and use the money to get their turbo kit. if you are smart about your build, you will be much happier with the results.

im buying the turbo kit first and working on the engine on the side so the only difference would be tht the engine block has forged internals if thts it let me kno cus i will do tht myself i didnt kno if there was more too it

is this a good turbo kit? i want one tht can push at least 30 psi and if it is downpipe? manifold? im already planning on doing an entire engine build can i use my stock cylinder cover? what else do i need?

according to your first statement you want more than 30psi. and that you dont know the difference between a downpipe and a manifold. if you would have read you would see that i was trying to tell you the correct way you want to go about this besides getting a turbo that the car cant even spool up. i mean did you seriously go and find the biggest turbo you could find on ebay or something?

have you even looked into the oil pump issue or are you gona ignore that?

You don't understand what people are trying to say...

All Turbos can go to 30 PSI from a GT20 to a GT80

Turbos are planned based on Horsepower Goals, a GT20 at 20 PSI and a GT30 at 20 PSI will have a difference of 200 HP on a 2.0L Motor...

You are 100% a Turbo nOOb, that is not a bad thing, just don't be an ass to the people who are actually trying to help.

Don't get all crazy about the tone of the reply... read through and get the information.

 

[mazdaplx]

no i kno the difference between the two tht kit didnt come with either one so i was asking what kind i should get durr. what kind of oil pump should i get?

Get the speedcircut kit run 6-10psi max untill you have a forged motor. Use an ssafc for tuning. And research doc b oil pump. When people post dumb stuff nobody is gona be nice especially when it involves somebody posting about an ebay turbo and knows nothing about the car or turbos in general. There is a s*** ton of info in this forum if you look you can learn anything you need to know about this car and more than you will ever need to know about turbos
