Build thread and questions for a full MSP5

[racingblood25]

Just picked up a beautiful white 2002 protege5 off the classified section. The plan is a full mazdaspeed protege5 build. Including interior, body and motor + a few mods for improvement.
I just picked up a GT2871r turbo also.

What kind of power should I expect with this turbo and a bolt on FMIC. Keeping this car a dependable daily driver.

Well stock the MSP has 170bhp so with a bolt on FMIC instead of the standard side mount, plus other mods, maybe in the 190-200 range?

But its also a 10 year old motor so its gonna lose some power over time.

Remember the MSP rear seats don't fit the P5s so you will have to get creative with that. I would love to do a project like this always wanted to turbo my P5. 200whp with a decent tune, FMIC and exhaust is possible on the T28 without much trouble.
