So they have a replacement? That bolts directly to the engine?

Chas

I am trying to find the link, but I believe so. I remember seeing a price for a 6 speed quaife tranny for the protege somewhere... it was like 6 grand, but I did see it.

Have you run it yet?????

How many more times do I have to tell you man? (lol)

Since I live in the mountains and the track is at 5500ft, it is pointless. Even if I had NHRA corrected numbers, a lot of people on here say that the correction factors don't apply to FI cars.

So oh well, if I ever make it closer to sea level I will go run it at the track, but I don't want to go run like a 14.8 @ 95 or something for my best track time, lol.

I'm gonna ask ya every time you show me pics of more parts I want. lol

side note- 13.3's here I come !!!

 

[Spooled]

505, I'll tell you what: just send me all that stuff, I'll put it on my car and take it to the track for you!

 

[Spooled]

I'd do that just for you...

 

[505zoom]

Just for me? In that case...

haha, no thanks man, I think I'll do just fine with it all in my car.

I guess not. I just found that post that I was thinking of, and it is not a direct replacement. Many things would need to be customized to get it to work.

I put in the EL2 EGT gauge and controller today, and got the sensor portion hooked up finally. I made a conversion fitting over at home depot so I could screw the EGT bung into my spare o2 sensor bung on the downpipe. I might still put the sensor in the manifold when I have it off for the turbo install, but this way was very easy and I wanted to get it up and running.

If anyone is interested, I will have the EL1 EGT that I took out in the FS section. I used the gauge for a day, and the sensor was never installed.
