Project MSP Wannabe begins!

Thanks

So far it hasn't been too pricy, but I'm sure once I start the engine build it will go up quickly.

Congrats man on the boost parts...I need to see your ride in person!!!

I know, as soon as I saw it I knew I couldn't pass it up (even though I bought a used stock mani and a corksport mani with the turbo kit I got) so I guess one of those will be up for sale now.

When are you planning on boosting?

 

[D-rock240]

I'm going to look at a 02 Altima this weekend as a DD, so then I can park my car in the garage and get things moving. Still have to order the pistons and rods though.

That was a good decision

Personally though, I love my protege too much. I'm so glad I still have it, considering the redesigned 6 and the '10 3. I don't know where Mazda is going with their designs, but it's in the wrong direction IMO.

Sounds good, I'll probably organize a meet in a few months. You should come up to Carlisle PA the first weekend in May, been a good turnout for the past few years.

ok...i just saw this thread!
i didn't know that you've been working on this for almost 3 years!

everything looks soooo good!

 

[D-rock240]

It's been quite a transition going from a base model protege to what it is now. I have been able to feel the difference each little mod has made.

Thanks man

Thanks, been a while but I will complete the MSP conversion.

Right now, the stock MSP one. However, since I have the nice manifold I'm thinking about getting a bigger one. I'm shooting for around 240whp so I don't have to worry about breaking the trans or other things. What turbo would you recommend?

 

[daonly1around]

id say go with the disco

 

[D-rock240]

GT28? I've heard the disco potato phrase but don't know what turbo it is LOL

 

[daonly1around]

yeah, gt 28 rs

 

[D-rock240]

Thanks

May be getting a 02 Altima now, I realized if I got another protege I would want to mod it and the whole point is getting a car I don't care about LOL

I was thinking with the 28 I could get more power with lower boost.

 

[RX729]

Sir, Can you pm a detailed parts list you used to convert from 4 to 5 lug, Thanks...

 

[D-rock240]

PM sent, good luck.

As an update, I passed on the Altima. I'm going to followup on some other leads now
