Mazdaspeed Protege Build - Feels Good To Be Back

ProteJester said:
I promise, the search bar and I are very close friends at this point haha
there is a ton of information but not a lot of back and forth between the MSP and the protege as far as wiring and such. (Not that I could find at least)

If that service manual is the same for the msp, then that's the one that I've been using up until now

Oh well shoot, you're already on it.

My guess it's the same. I'm sure you'll catch the read flags (if there's any) when you start wirring the ssafc based on the ecu pins/wires marked in the installation instructions.

True. I guess I just don’t want to have to do it twice.
Since it’s the same for the FS engine, that should probably cover the MSP.

Do you have any power goals for your MSP?

That's fair. Might just have to take the gamble.

For sure, 250-275 nice clean build 👌 That seems to be the safe zone before the transmission starts acting up. But per my list on the first page I should be able to handle more.

Not planning on pushing it. Plus I'm already almost pushing 400hp in my MS3 so I'm set lol

An MS3 at 400hp? Yeah, that’s the dream haha

I’ll be ecstatic if I can hit 250 in my protege without blowing up the trans.
 
Snagged a decent find, I'll still need to clean them up a bit.
Best set I've seen floating around.

I think I'm just going to replace all the carpet in the MSP as well. Just renew everything.

Also seriously considering painting the car myself. I just got itch and I need to SCRATCH it.

Got a few more things in the mail today. Pretty pumped about the GTSpec Trailing arms. This is gotta be the rarest part I got. They look great for the age.

Steering column gauge holder. Maybe somebody can chime in on here. But the seller claims Mazda made these at one time? "OE/OEM part numbers FS2V-10-220 and FS2V10220, manufactured in Japan by Mazda." Don't know how much truth there is to this but I couldn't find a single thing on the web showing that they made them at one point and time.

I forget the username but some on here used to custom make those. Modifying the oem trim piece of course.

Oooh, man I had one on the MP3 but pretty sure I just got it from a local guy.

Geez, I had a feeling. Mazda ain't making no gauge pods lol.
