oh..huh, good to know, well then I may just buy the normal one and have someone tig weld a fitting on it
so the fitting on the pan is a screw in type fitting? any pics of it by chance?
and got the Prosport digital oil pressure guage in today, man this thing is awesome. I did a test run with 9V battery I had and it looks alot better then I thought it would from online pics. Now at least I have a gauge to tie all 3 of them together. Cant wait to put it in tomorrow

Its got a nut welded in so all I had to do was inscrew the original fitting and screw on the other. It's no big deal at all

Ah ok, that makes sense. Ill prob end up getting that then, my pan is leaking oil from the fitting, its annoying.
and a update video...i was actually talking alot quieter then I thought lol pretty much just showing the prosport oil pressure gauge, and saying I need to replace my boost gauge with a digital one. Also painted all the IC pipes, and been prepping the spare VC for paint. Once I get that in then Ill be focusing on getting the car running right.
Looking at some 17x9 +25 wheels...I really like them, hopefully I can find them cheap locally
edit: forgot video lol

^ Great vid! Engine bay looks pretty freaking sweet, especially with that huge snail under your hood. Can't wait to see vids of your car in action. Keep up the good work.

lol yea...I got them off a 03.5 P5 for $50 bucks, and mine were dented to hell so i figured why not
Ill eventually paint them black or wrap them in something until I re-paint the whole car

um no camo for me, it looks ok on other cars, but i personally dont like it
and today did a little tuning session....as in one pull and recording lol its so nice out im just going to go ride my ninja around town instead. I looked at the recordings and made a few changes.
The old map dipped as low as 8.9 cell value under boost, and it made my AFR spike to 17.6 AFR at 6psi!! (gun) Yea, not good, changed majority of the boost values to 9.7 for a starting point, and then im going from there.

Hey Simon, how much did the Prosport oil pressure gauge run you, may I ask? Where did you get your sandwich plate too? I want to get one for my swap and still need to do research on them. But my buddy has the same one as yours and the install was easy and it works well.
And the video diary is cool man, keep up the good work, mate.

Thanks! I could probably be organized more with the video diary thing...but im always too lazy to take videos lol
and the prosport oil pres. cost me 83 shipped direct from the prosport site. I checked around after I bought it (backwards I know lol) and found it for 69.99 from Import Image
Very easy install and I just used it for the first time today, seems to be very accurate.

OH also, forgot to mention, today I fixed my steering wheel!!! 
it was pulling HARD left, like the wheel would be tilted a good 20 degrees driving straight. So after looking up how to measure toe, I measured and found out both my wheels were tilted to the left with the steering wheel straight...why i have no idea. So i brought the toe in on the passenger side, and brought it waaaaay out on the drivers. Car drives perfectly straight now
that made my day haha

Just ordered 20-2.5" T bolt clamps to replace the worm gear clamps that I have, from ebay lol I actually used some of my brothers when he was going to go turbo, that were from ebay, and they werent bad at all. Got a pretty good deal too, $36 shipped. I kind of want to buy an aluminum civic radiator, but I have to look around for that, not sure I want to trust ebay with something as important as a radiator.

This is what Im looking at for when I do my swap. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-Chevy-Universal-Radiators,3557.html
All should fit easily, and provide more than enough cooling. May need to make custom coolant hoses. Its definitely cheaper than any other aluminum radiator available for the protege.

wow, that looks awesome, appreciate the link.
I have to do some measurements though, my turbo is less then an inch away from my radiator so I cant get a thicker radiator unless I move it in towards the condensor, and there isnt much room there....def. a good option though

Summit Racing has a few universal radiators too, though they are a bit more. I have been contemplating an aluminum rad for my swap too.
