just wondrin, why msp if you are getting a whole new turbo set up?


no microtech? you sure you want to live with the hesitation?

 

[pshaw34]

how much money do you have? You dont want to even give the T25 a chance? good luck though. hope everything works out good

 

[Striker187]

nos? please....but anyways, if you want my opinion, i'd say keep the hks ssqv. it won't leak because of its design. don't get me wrong, i doubt the greddy will leak but hey, that hks sound is awesome

 

[stoney]

once i get the car i will only have 2K for upgrades and i will get the GReddy E0-1 boost controller and a larger FMIC i guess. I don't know about the full turbo kit yet. And no it isn't NOS, it is nitrous express, NOS is a company . Hey, it makes you go faster and it is a smallish kit so it wo't destroy my engine. I'm not sure what ECU or engine managment i should get? Any ideas?

[Apexi]

ditch the platinum plugs and go with some copper plugs, remember to go a bit colder if your upping the boost so you dont get preignition or whatever it is

 

[loj68]

buy an STI or an EVO and save yourself the headaches......with that much mods plus NOS (buy a spare engine) you'll be in the garage more than on the street.

 

[stoney]

oh yea colder plugs so i won't get knock. Good idea, thanx
I looked at and Evo or STi but the insurance will kill me (18 year old male, single, and poor).

Dave

 

[perfworks]

ummmm Forged internals???
Engine management???

How are you going to control the injectors.??

 

[stoney]

i wasn't aware of any forged internals for the FS engine.....I'm new to the Protege scene. As i said in a previous post i don't know what engine managment to get, i'm looking at Apexi, Greddy and AEM.

In that case I'd buy a used 89-91 CRX HF (1900 lbs) and drop a B16 in it......fast, reliable, and cheap.....you could do the whole job for under $5k including the car.....and more mods available than you could possibly ever buy.....$20k is an expensive ass car.....that's a lot of debt to carry at so young.....buy Rex and and go to college

 

[Apexi]

crx?!! oh fk no.... 1g dsm.. much more potential.

 

[twizyours]

crx?!! oh fk no.... 1g dsm.. much more potential.


probe/mx-6 GT Turbo more bang for the buck
2400 lbs and for about 2,000 dollars you would be way above 200 hp and forget about the tq it creates.

Then go to college

well we have a piggyback system that will control fuel and ignition along with boost. If you would like any info email me and we can talk about it.

 

[INGREXCO]

dude crx? thats a lil getto race car. to hell with that why would you all even suggest the sti or the evo, i dont even wanna get into the crx. GET THE DAMN MAZDASPEED ahahaha yeah ide get forged internal and a new tranny ontop of that

 

[Striker187]

well once you get everything else for the car.....ok i can understand the nos i think pauter makes rods for the FS engine. just search around, i'm sure you'll be able to find some companies. try JE for pistons....they seem to make them for everything.

hope that helps.

 

[stoney]

i'm def getten the Mazdaspeed......no worries on that. I really hate Civic's because of they stereostypes they recieve, but oh well. I don't want a CRX or any used car, the car i have now is used and personally believe if you buy a used car you are buying some else's headaches (I have a '99 Toyota Camry and it SUX!). I'll check out JE for pistons and con rods, thanx for the advice.

[kpracer94]

Hey man, you say you don't want any headaches? If you mod the MSP or any other car to that extent you are going to have
alot of headaches and spend a ton of money in the process. Ask
people who have done it and see. You still have to make the
payments when its in the shop. Just be careful and know the facts
going into it.

haha- you could go 12's in a DSM for $200 . If you know what you are doing. The probe and MX6 have almost no potential in stock form. Bang for the buck, it is DSM all the way.

I have seen probes eat 1st gen eclipses in stock form. $200 dolaars wooooo I was trying not to be ghetto about the upgrades but I could go the same rout. Yes the turbo on dsm are better but not by much they are both small in stock. all you really have to do is 2.5 in cat back exhaust $80. Raise the boost to atleat 10 since a probe barely sees 9 psi. 2.5 inch downpipe. better intercooling piping (anyone who has seen a probe the stock rubber hoses expand under boost really suxs) and a rx-7 compressor and you would easily be over or about 200 hp and again forget about the tq. Did I also mention that a majority of the power is made in the 4000 rpm.
