Turbo Help?

[P5_2003]

Please Help! I have a manual transmission P5 and I drive it around 60 miles daily. I am looking for a turbo kit that would be safe to use. I would like to get around 30-60 more horsepower. Any Suggestions?

170 to the wheels. considering the car makes slightly less than 100 to the wheels, you're looking at about 200 to the crank, versus the stock 130. a good 70 hp increase.

not trying to pick your post apart, just wanted to clarify

you can still get the turbo kit new at our store ; http://www.mazda3online.com/index.php?cPath=27_99

take your pick

you might still be able to get a kit from flyinprotege even though flyinmiata is shutting down the protege aspect of the site. $3500 gives just over 160hp to the wheels and in the 170lb/ft tque area at the wheels. act fast though. (attn)

the flyin protege kit is the same kit as the begi turbo kit which we carry. as of right now FP is doing group buys only

there is quite a bit of work being done now on this 'dead' kit, btw. MAMotorsports has made a superb larger intercooler kit and downpipe and is working on an MPI Tuner based solution for fuel control. I am working towards a Haltech based fuel control similar to what HiBoost has

i thought they might be the same kit but when i read everything that came with it there are some differences. the turbo itself is not the same(dif company) and some other parts are dif.

i own the kit - its the same. the original kits, some came with a Garrett turbo and others came with a Turbonetics, both are identically designed T3 turbos. those of us who bought the original BEGi got access to all the eventual upgrades (fuel pump, voltage clamp, downpipe) which are sold in the kit standard now.

I gotcha. How is the kit. Have you had any reliability problems with the engine since installing. If you have run the 1/4 mi I'm curious as to what you ran. Another concern of mine seeing as gas is ridiculous...what kind of mileage are you getting with everyday driving?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

The only problem I have had was my own stupidity increasing the boost without increasing fuel and blowing the first engine to pieces. I'm alot more informed and educated now than I ever was then and won't do that again.

I get about 300 miles to a full tank with surburb/city traffic. You must use 91 octane fuel or higher.

I have a brand new Hiboost kit for sale. Here is the thread with current pricing. http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66246
The kit with E6X is only $3550 and it will give you up to 210+ hp. Or you can buy everything I have for sell and boost up to 300+ hp. That price is $4200.

would you by chance have the F10 and harness for sale separately?

I assume that BEGi also uses the flyin protege style clamps and intercooler hoses aswell?

to my knowledge they do, which as I am sure you know were much nicer clamps

Yeah I ordered them. I was also wondering if Corky started to use the FP oval nuts aswell? I didn't like them. They totaly locked on and could never be removed. It made servicing anything a real b****.

Sorry, my kit has the E6X, the f10 is fuel only.

drat all i need is the fuel only F10 with the harness (MAP sensor, coolant temp, etc)

 

[ddogg777]

REally? Why fuel only?

i have no intention of really ever going above 10 psi and Juan and SPD are confident that the F10 with the standard HiBoost map will work fine with my turbo setup. i've reached my "personal goal/limit" you might say on this car. i wouldn't start messing with the timing unless I had a block with forged everything like a Wagner built block or a Linuxracr engine that I could drop into my car, and I'm at the point where, at least on this car, I've spent enough money - time to save/spend for other big things. Having the F10 solution will basically allow me to get rid of the AFPR and fuel pump, get a smoother powerband, better fuel economy and maybe even a little more power. I'm not out to win drag races, snap axles, sear apart clutches and get 10 miles to the gallon and keep aiming for more and more power just happy having a very quick daily driver.
