That is a really good point. People are always talking about how our cars outhandle most cars on the road - and that's great. But while we can stick around the turn, the other car has the advantage of power getting them to the turn first, and being able to mash the throttle and see better accelleration out of said turn.TurfBurn said:LOL.. the bitter relationships of msprotege.com.
Sides.. anybody can drive in a straight line really fastwhich is all that much HP is good for!
Check around for aftermarket parts - look at what's available for honda civics, and what's available for mazda proteges.Super Matty P said:
Yes, the aftermarket for these engines is "new territory". In effect, not researched fully, nor explored/exploited such as that which has been done for honda.
Come on man, put some more thoughts into your comments - I'm sitting here at work watching Sliders (season 2 episode - some odd dinosaur preserve is in San Fran) eating lunch, and posting on the forum - and I'm still disputing your comments effectively. Here, I'll help you out - I know dick compared to you on engines - try using that.
I'm pretty sure I read something in Maximum Boost that contradicts that. You have to multiply psi by how much CFM that turbo flows per PSI.MPNick said:
Yes, but the thing was that it added power where I couldn't rev to that day. It doesnt' really have any advantage over stock until past 6K RPM, which I couldn't rev to anyway. So I guess we'll see what kind of difference it made next time we dyno.
Ahh, busting my balls from the "This Thread Is Worthless Without Dyno" thing, eh? You know that I wasn't the one who said that, right? I was just translating what Matty P said when he just wrote "TTIWWD". You're picking on the wrong guy.MPNick said:
Regardless, my word carries some weight around here since I've been around for awhile. People would more likely believe me if I said a product improved horsepower over a new user that no one knows.
Besides, I don't think that anyone would argue that my car would be faster once I was able to rev past 5K without hitting a brick wall.
Hell yeah. Let me get my new injector setup in an tuned (maybe about a month), and I'm good to go. Name the time, I know the place. (nana)
I didn't say 328whp WASN'T good. I think it was. BUT, he did it on race gas. That's a HUGE advantage, that's my point. I want to see you guys tweak and tune it to get the most out of pump gas.MPNick said:
Cars running 116 octane are obviously going to make a lot more power.
More boost?Super Matty P

Dissention among the ranks?
Yeah, I was the one who said "TTISWWD".....I notice there has still been no dyno. Kinda funny but I understand you guys have to pay a lot more than I do.
p.s. Race gas shouldn't even be considered unless you're building an allout race car. Anyone can make power it just depends on how muh you want to throw at uit.
p.p.s. In Tuscaloosa, AL is a guy with an orange P5. He made 500whp on a custom turbo with AEM. He also won some prize at NOPI in atlanta...MPNick is NOT the first to hit 400whp...nor will he be the first to hit 500whp...better start shooting for 600hp. I'm sure you guys are going to call b.s. on me so I'll get his contact info and let you taker it up with him. Maybe someone from Nopi atl will remember the orange widebody p5. He also entered a 600whp 1.6L civic..it was his wifes.

this was a street car with full interior. I dunno about his tip-in time with the turbo but who gives a s***? No'one said anything aboutMPNick's spool time with his 400hp motor..
I pmmed the info to Micah. He'll get all the details and post them.

That's the link on their forum to the only mention I could find this guy making about the turbo protege. Apparently they used the e-manage. I left a comment in the thread - and I'm sending him a PM right now.
Read my post again please. I said the first to hit 400whp on this forum. I never said that it has not been done outside this forum. Anyway if he made 500whp I think that is great. Did you see him dyno there? Did you see his dyno sheet? He must be running high 10s.Super Matty P said:
If they are tuned for it, they will make more power. If not they may in fact make less power. We had alot of timing removed from the car, so I do not think we gained as much as you think.Kooldino said:
The million dollar question is can you make more peak WHP with C16 in your car? Just do not say yes right away, you may not be able to.
