Post Pics Of Your Mazda Protege

The turbo will come at some point..Right now Im just going to go with a nice strong rebuild and a nice tune with megasquirt.. If its done right I think I can see power to the wheels in the 150 range.

I just really want to get the single cam out of it bad.. i will go back and turbo when I have more spare money
 
You took the BP out of a Ford Escort GT ?
Cause there are BP variants ranging from 105, 115, 127 and 140HP, at least here in europe.
 
No mine came out of a 1993 protege. I was just saying after the tune and all 150 is what I would get to all 4's.. but now Im getting a turbo setup for it, so Im thinking that I might see more like 200+ to all 4's...
 
haha yes I will, got the engine. Just order a turbo, injectors, GTR intake. Then after that a set of wiesco pistons..and hopefuly a good deal on some decent rods, then a megasqurtII and I should be ready to make some real power.

I would like to go all out with a crank, and cams, and soild lifters, and stiff springs..but im not trying to spend all that money.. right now I think I can get 200whp for under 2000$... but if I wanted to spend 10,000$ I bet I could see 370 out of my little car..
 
You can manage without the GTR intake for starters ;)
And you should be concetrating on doing something about the transmission, because the most common problem with stock GTX and GTR is transmission malfunction, something brakes too often, forgot what. I think it has something to do with the back differential... Friend of mine broke it and it costed arm and a leg to get it repaired...

Get Euro bumpers they're lighter.
Take off the plastic under the fender and hit that dent from inside, and its not gonna look that bad anymore.
You can also try to heat it up a little bit with a heatgun and massage it till it falls back to its old (normal) state.

And whats up with the driver side fender around the wheel arch ??
 
Lol there was alot of rust there when I got the car, and I couldnt find the color, so I eye balled it, and thats what happened, I have the right color now and am just waiting for warmer weather to start on the body work. It really needs alot of body work, and thats not what im good at. Im a mechanic and thats where my car excells lol, body not so much lol.
 
So your saying the GTX and GTR transmisions are no good? Well then what could I used without lossing my AWD..? Right now my trany is in tip top shape..Im thinking if it starts to see like its going I could just take it out maybe a few new syncros and get the gears cryo treated..

Yeah everyone told me to go with out the intake so I didnt get it.. and now Im also stuck with a hybrid vj20 missing the housing for the hotside :(.. it was just rebuilt and polished though..
