update on blown motor

[1sty]

the stock MSP motor has vvt. Turbo does nothing to affect it as far as I know. vvt only switches cam profiles in the upper rpm range for performance.

Unless my head has been firmly implanted in my ass for 2 years, the MSP has the same engine as any protege since 2001. Also unless my head was frimly inplanted in my ass, that engine does not have VVT. Only the new Mazda 6 engines do.

I will admit, my head being inplanted in my ass for 2 years is entirely possible.

you dont feel the camchange-over at 4K?? Am I making this up? Why do all of the MSP ads talk about it? I may be wrong also. I to have "rectal-cranial inversion".

 

[1sty]

To all that I have ever read, I am 100% certina the cams n the MSP are the same as those of the regular protege infact its the same engine through and through. Pistons rods cams, everything is identical. The MSP just has a turbo bolted to it.

 

[Turbo Matty P]

huh, I'm going to do some research and see what I can find out.

 

[igdrasil]

Hey, I do also feel that change, when I was N/A and when turbo, sometimes that suddent pull is noticed. But thats not vvt.
It has something to do with the plates inside the intake manifold and the fuel delivery changes....

 

[YuYuRena]

With whatever the marketing people called the intake runner change thing. Open up the hood and look on the left side of the bay. It's on the front side of the intake manifold (front i mean where all the belts are driven). There's a little throttle body ish thing that you can pull that changes the intake runner length, and i think that's what you're calling the changes in 4K. And as for the cams thing, the vvt means variable valve timing right? That's like a cam gear that changes timing?

 

[Turbo Matty P]

oh, you're right. Thats the DSI, dual stage intake. it has 8 different runners in the intake manifold at 4K rpms the shutter opens short runners to promote higher rpm power. Damn, I guess I need to schedule an appointment with my doctor to have "Anal-cranium removal"

 

[yashooa]

heheh

Damn, 1sty I'm really starting to like you. Humble and funny and yet just the right twang of insult.


Good luck with your swapped motor "Frankin-Speed" Turbo Mattificus. (rockon) (usa)

 

[redrims]

so I'm guessing this swap was a no go...

 

[Turbo Matty P]

old old old.....the swap is off. It has been for almost 3-4 months!! Already worked a deal out with mazda. They swapped me a brand new loaded P5. I'm done franken-stiening mazdas. I'm working on a different project now.

 

[RX-KEVIN]

like what?

 

[pluto316]

Turbo-charged P5.

 

[Turbo Matty P]

nope...selling the P% (hopefully!) for a 93 R1 FD3S. I'll let you know how it goes!

j00 r0x0r matty

 

[Captain KRM P5]

whatever happened, BTW, to that local 323??

 

[Turbo Matty P]

The guy didn't want to budge any and I was able to purchse a an 88 Thunderchicken with forged internals, C4 w/shift kit and 8.8" rear with 4.10 gears for $300. I decided to spend my money on it. My wife says if I can sell my P5 or get someone to take up payments I can go and buy the FD. I'm going to look at it tomorrow at noon. The guy selling it is the Vice President of the Alabama RX7 club. Very credible and trustworthy!

 

[slug420]

didnt read all this but.........why not go with a turbo built for the 2.3l motor? you would make much more power and it seems liek it would be easier than adapting our lil guy to the bigger motor

 

[slug420]

lol, NM

 

[Turbo Matty P]

um....I bought the turbocoupe for a swap into my 1976 Mustang II body. It currently has a 2.3 carb-turbo motor I was making the swap over to EFI for a drag car.

I own several cars. The Protege is just a daily driver.
