Protege Wish List (Vendors click here)

[Kooldino]

Ok, there's some things that we all want for our cars...list 'em here and hopefully vendors will read this thread and take on some of the tasks instead of making more of the same stuff.

Plus, it's a good idea to list all of our wanted items in one place.

I'll start us off, let me know if we have anything I list...

-a beefy hardcore tranny (our stock ones will be the death of us)
-harder than stock, yet softer than the mazda motorsport poly motor mouns
-a nice "n/a chip"
-a good turbo-back exhaust
-AGGRESSIVE cams for the n/a folk
-some sort of reprogrammed ECU for the mp3 when turboed
-a turbo kit with bigger injectors with computer control for those injectors

-HEADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[derrick1623]

-new bushings to correct the "clunk" problems we have.

 

[VizaX]

Sleeves
Forged Internals

-HEADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as I know, there are already a number of headers available...

 

[Kooldino]

Thought of one more...
-3 gauge a-pillar pod that looks stock...

i'll be in on this for a group buy

-some sort of reprogrammed ECU for the mp3 when turboed

This is already being developed, hopefully by early Jan this will be completed. And our intercooler upgrade is already finished and on the market.
Vizax, forged internals are already available for our cars

Sleeves
Forged Internals

Sleeves for what?? Your shirt? J/K


The motor? The FS motor doesn't have sleeves. It is an iron block, not built like a Honda motor. If you are referring to something else please explain.

Hurry up!

 

[PA_MP3_Man]

- Mazda 6 Headlight conversion
- Really want a 6 speed tranny (that won't break down)
- A nice billet grill cheap enough to buy.
- LED euro Tails
- Supercharger atleast 60+ WHP

flamethrowers and battering rams, also tire flattening spikes with pushbutton controls!! JK, anyway I want front bushings that don't squeak like they have been on there for 15 years

I think he means so if we bore out the engine and put sleeves in so the engine can handle higher boost.

So far we have....

-a beefy hardcore tranny (our stock ones will be the death of us)
-harder than stock, yet softer than the mazda motorsport poly motor mouns
-a nice "n/a chip"
-a good turbo-back exhaust
-AGGRESSIVE cams for the n/a folk
-some sort of reprogrammed ECU for the mp3 when turboed (spoolin said he's on this)
-a turbo kit with bigger injectors with computer control for those injectors
-new bushings to correct the "clunk" problems we have.
-3 gauge a-pillar pod that looks stock...
-Sleeves
-Mazda 6 Headlight conversion (this would be very hard...may have to reserve that for a custom job)
-Really want a 6 speed tranny (that won't break down)
-A nice billet grill cheap enough to buy.
-LED euro Tails
-Supercharger atleast 60+ WHP

Still lost, but that's OK...

Why would you bore out that much material just to put it back in with a sleeve? The block is iron. Drop the compression of the piston and you can turn up the boost.

And the stock crank is forged, so ya'll know. It's mostly rods and pistons I think peoples want.

-a nice "n/a chip"

No need...not worth the cost.

If youre going to perform extensive NA mods to a point where the stock ecu can't handle it...or limits the full potential of those mods...then you should invest in an engine management system or piggy back...skip the chip...save your dough for the serious mods.

I think those NA chips (for a small displacement NA 4 cyl)...even if you have boltons...is not worth it.

Now...if youre talking VW's 1.8t and chip...youre talking a match made in heaven.

Well, if they came out with one that was $300 and added 5whp, people would buy it...so we might as well ask for one.

Right, but the sleeves are stronger than the walls of the stock block. You really only need it for high boost apps.

I seriously doubt that a chip can extract 5hp.
As Antoine stated like a jetta or any turbo car....then it would be worth your while
