hi guys
as the name implies i am from australia and my little 1.6 ltr 02 protege5 as i think it is named (hatch) does not have much of a following here but as i love mazdas and my little car as well i am obsessed with the idea of doing some thing special with it to piss off the wankers that drive v8 and WRX'S that think it would be fun to try and drag me off. but with a stock protege with the exception of my 16" roh adrenalins with 205/45/16 toyos my car is stock just will not compete at the moment im just about completed the sterio ( top of the range sony deck, sony 6" in the frount door, 6"x9" in the parsel shelf, custom install boot with sony 12" sub built in behind the wheel arch and amplifiers flush mounted in the other side so my boot is all sqared up producing 133db) and now i wish to start in the perfomance enhacing mods with this little car haveing little to no following here i have trouble finding parts and infomation. as you can emajine i was over joyed to find this forum and hopefully get some info for my plan there is the usual mods exhaust, intake but i was thinking of hanging a supercharger from the 4agze motor (out of the toyota mr2 spider) off the sidewhich i can pick upfor about $350 au dollars i know i will need to change the computer i am thinking of using the microtech lt-8 but i dont know what else to change i dont want the expense of changing the internals so i think i can run about 7lb boost, is this correct or can i run more with stock internals. i do want to get a lsd but is the stock manual tranny up for the job. is there some thing i have not thought of i know i will have to get a intercooler and get the whole thing plumbed in and dyno tuned but am i missing some thing?
any help will be appresiated
