wow this thread should be deleted then yashart should start a new one cause now i dont know whos talking about what manifold and the prices for what manifold and pics for what maifold

I agree that something like this NEEDS to be done. Either clean it up or close it and start a new one.
 
damn everyone needs to fricken chill out and if peepz will read the thread from the begining and not skim through s*** then no one would gete lost in so called numbers and prices. i understand yash's point of view and also earful's. since yash started the thread then i would call it his thread and he's is being very professional about asking to have an a new thread for earful's mani, but saying that earful is also tryin to help the community and since people are already lookin at this one then why not mention something about another that can be had possibly. don't need to close thread people needs to read things through and they will be fine and stick the the original post since yash has asked to keep it on topic which is his gi on his mani.

right....I respect Yash's requests...I will no longer be contributing to this thread, no big deal. Dont know if I will start my own.....
 
so to clear up all confusion yashart whats the latest news..even if its old repost it here to clear up confusion
 
Good idea

The mazdaspeed protege is a very well rounded platform, but the after marketplace has not recognized the potential of the mazda fs-de. I think contributing a manifold to the mazdaspeed protege community is needed since the stock manifold is crap and cracks easily. I like the two pictures of the way the manifold could look. So keep doing what you are doing.

i think the reason the aftermarket hasnt realized the fs-de's potential, is bc it doesnt really have any potential.

The stock manifold is really good. why do you say it's crap?

callaway isn't some junk no-name company.. they know their s***.
 
and a 93 civic dx hatch does?

and dont say cause of production because tim pretty sure they made acuple protege's

i'm sure most civic hatches get swapped for the b16 or bigger.. don't know many d16 hatches running around w/ good builds..there's a couple..just not many.

thats kinda what i was getting at. a 93 dx hatch doesnt have a great motor, neither does the protege. but the honda boys have plenty of options with the b seires, h seires, ls and cr/vtec combo's. what does the protege have? i guess the fs-ze but i havent heard of too many people out there running those.

gotcha. well..the motor-FS has been around for a while. the only decent swap i know of is the V6 ...KL? or something out of a 626..but i'll stick w/ my 4 banger FS motor. it's fun enough.
 
Callaway needs to stick to corvettes. Because import tuning aint they thang.
First of all they use a s pipe setup which sucks! secondly: the callaway design is under so much stress it cracks the manifold. Thrid: but not least the manifold warps with too much boost. I dont think that those are traits of a good manifold! Right??!!!!!
 
speed whiz, do you really think the design of the MSP turbo system was not well thought out? The Callaway package is compact and works well. Yes there are things that can be improved upon, but there are other considerations aside from power output.

Where did you hear manifolds are warping due to too much boost? How could that even warp the manifold? Was the person running 20psi+ and just creating excessive heat?
 
Well if you haven't herd! some mazda enthuiast have been able to crack the 12's and even the 11's mark in 1/4 mile runs. The only reason the MSP was over looked in the market place becuase mazda is known for its rotary race engine and there was only to be 1700 (give or take a little) MSP's made. In the scca races the msp did Quite well staying in the top poles. If that dosen't show potential I dont know what dose?
