[blueprotegelx]

that's crazy dubb. i just read your link to the problem! i'm glad i went ahead and tightened all of the screws on my mani when i ported and removed vtcs

 

[Protege03ak46]

nice to see you got it found out!

not a bad thing ether. more air= more hp!!!!! lol

 

[BadBandar]

Hell yeah dude, that'd be awesome. I'm pretty sure I can get my grams to be cool with you guys crashing here if you don't wanna get a room.

Aight ill try talking to Zach and Rob. See if they wanna roll down. What happened to J Naoto coming out?

i dont think anyone ever said it would be the ones in the middle of the mani, just the vtcs ones, but anyway glad to hear you found the problem

i said vtcs/vics. in the chatroom.

 

[xJAZx]

vtcs ones were all still there, are the other ones vics?

 

[big Lou]

Glad you found the problem, also glad i have the pg manifold.

 

[Dpwhitehead1]

vtcs ones were all still there, are the other ones vics?

yes. that's what i'm doing rirght now. porting the vtcs and vics out.

 

[Scorch03]

Its only 03s right, i don't feel like taking my mani off but thats just scary.

 

[xJAZx]

yes. that's what i'm doing rirght now. porting the vtcs and vics out.

ahh ok. i had no clue what the vics was

 

[xDJ DUBx]

My 02 p5 intake mani has them too. I would suggest everyone to check theirs, pain in the ass I know, but better than risking the motor.

 

[Protege03ak46]

meh...... might do it. idk. im gana do a port and polish anyway so.....if i get up the courage. maybe

 

[Laser Blue]

I suggest everyone who is worried read my post in Dub's other thread... it says that the defect in the intake mani was resolved BEFORE the 03's were manufactured. It also says the MSPs shouldn't have the problem cuz they use a different mani. That doesn't mean it couldn't happen in an 03 since they still have the vics/vtcs; it just means it should be unlikely.

 

[Scorch03]

Greg, you had skunk coils with stock struts and the car was slammed right? I'm just making sure it was just the mount that caused the issue.

 

[fLyPiNoY7]

greg...take the upper plenum of the p5 off and swap it with the one in your car...take off vtcs and port/polish, but keep the vics butterflies on (make sure to tighten them though)...the proteges lose a lot of low end torque without the vics butterflies...
