Protge321's Turbo Build

[protege321]

More power, reliability and better mpg. I have yet to find out myself cause I'm waiting for a transmission, but thats what I gather.

did you use the msp map from protegegarage or did you do it yourself?

 

[protege321]

where does this sensor go? seems like putting it on the cold pipe could cause leak issues..

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Yeah, don't put that in a charge pipe, just tuck it away some place or make a hole in ur air filter and pop it in there.

 

[blueprotegelx]

i placed mine within the air filter

its the IAT sensor, just put it on the intake before the turbo somewhere

 

[justanothermp5]

just leave it lol you dont have to put it anywhere, it really does nothing

 

[protege321]

thought i would upload some pictures of the pipe routing i plan on using to.. the red dot in the second one being on where i plan on putting the BOV.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Wow looks good, I should of tried that hot pipe routing. lol

im having some serious problems getting the intercooler to fit with the bumper on. the power steering surge line is killing me.

Subbin, Looks great. What size intercooler core is that?

 

[protege321]

thanks, its 28x7x2.5.

 

[MAZDA_SPEED]

How did you fit 90 degree elbows in the core support. I tired that to, but to no avail.

 

[protege321]

the 90 degree coupler that came with the kit worked fine on the hot side, the cold side i had to order another 90 degree one and trim it so the intercooler would be centered. it just worked for me.

 

[MAZDA_SPEED]

Eh, good idea. Can you post pictures of the front, so I can see the FMIC. thanks

 

[protege321]

yeah sure, i will be finishing it up tomorrow so ill take a few pictures.

 

[MAZDA_SPEED]

Nice, GL

 

[xDJ DUBx]

MMMMMMM, does this mean you're that close? I remember when I put my fmic on, I installed the turbo the next week.

 

[protege321]

im am an ecu, a vacuum block, and a few couplers away. maybe 2 or 3 weeks

here are some of those pictures

still need to clean the core cuts up and wash the bumper.

looks like a good setup for the fmic... really like it... basically is the perrin/turbolife....
