What have you done to your P5 today?

[jeg0024]

Looks nice aMaff!

Looks nice aMaff!

Thanks! There's 2 floors above the garage, but they don't really matter as much :p

[jeg0024]

It's always nice to have a garage to keep your cars in, expecially when you gotta go to work on cold mornings.

[aMaff]

True, true. But...I'm in Georgia. It get's cold, it doesn't really get COLD.

But I can't really disagree. I don't really enjoy the walk from the apt to the parking lot when it's raining.

However...again with being in Georgia, we haven't had crap for rain in months....

[rednecks_r_us]

I took the Optima out of my truck and put it in my Prote.

[jeg0024]

I have to put my rear seats and subs back in, but im too tired.

[Yaggie1]

Picked up some new brake pads today. Figured I'd throw em on the car and put the crossdrilled/slotted Brembo rotors back on. Front went all good. Went to put on the back passenger side rotor and ran into a bit of a problem. When I bolted the caplier bracket back on I couldn't turn the rotor a full turn. It has so much runout in it that it is hitting the caliper bracket and won't go all the way around. That thing is warped like a bitch..........So, I have the slotted on the front and stock on the rear. Not sure what the hell happened to it.

But now the Dodge is dead :(

you can try soldering the wires back together and using heat shrink wrap to seal them up. but the added restistance might throw off the voltage reading back to the computer. id try that and if it doesnt work then id say youd need a new wiring harness

Rediculous man. Definitely let us know how that works.

[shane02pro5]

I'm having a great time at 13psi which is putting me at my limits. Need the added security and reliability so I can sleep at night!!

[DeadGeneration]

My alignment feels a little off. It's not pulling to one side or the other so much as it's like the steering is really soft for the first 1/2 inch movement left and right of neutral position on the wheel. Also, the car goes left and right on the road slightly without any feedback. Does this make sense to anyone? I love the protege5 steering because it's nice and stiff and you can feel all the movements and control it perfectly. It still corners fine, but it's loosey-goosey going in a straight line.

[NCZ13]

since ive done the front suspension my alignments been off. the wheel sits at the slightest left angle. which is getting rather irritating.

Took out the kiddos car seats, moved the front seats up, flipped the rear (leather) seat bottoms up and found a self-sustaining ecosystem of "who-knows-what-the-fuck-what" ... laid down the seat backs and tried to stuff a BFC (big f'n crib) in the back to roll to the storage unit ... no dice (not even sideways). Proceeded straight to the car wash for a complete interior detail and called up my Bro (with an '07 Tacoma) for a solid. P5 is clean and the garage is ready for the MSP ...

Will do soon in the next few days when I get the engine bay washed and new intake finished

[Salmon_Rob]

so i have settled on a final plan for my p5. this is several years down the road, probably 09/10, but instead of even dealing with boosting the fsde, im going to buy a gtr clip (~2500), 98 protege es bp from a junkyard with harness (~500) and swap into p5. all mounting locations are the same etc. what this will allow me to do is run the gtr set up in the p5, and at 350 whp on stock internals will be WELL within its abilities, and daily drivable. so for lets say 5 thousand total after work, wiring, and management and tune, i have 350 whp. lets look at if i tried this with fsde: 1) built block - ~3800 from speed circuit, more with high flowing head etc. lets say 4500 in the end, as a low ball, probably more. 2) hiboost turbo kit - 3800 3) engine management 1000-1200 4) tune 200-300, and at 350 whp, this probably wont be to reliable, or only 350 whp on race gas sometimes when the humidity is right, venus is aligned with uranus and such.
so we have 5 thousand for reliable power vs 9800 dollars for maybe sometimes probably still going to explode power. case rested

[JoshP5]

Yum.

[aMaff]

is the 1.8 in the 98 actually the bp??



EDIT: never mind, confirmed through the FAQ. Nice.

[Salmon_Rob]

id just use the 98 bp, but the internals are not as yummy as the 1g bp, so this way i get the yummiest internas ever for a piston mazda engine + huge ball bearing turbo + huge and high flowing manifold etc etc etc

[DeadGeneration]

why not spend the 5k on buying a 2nd car that already comes with that power?

[shane02pro5]

Not as fun!

[Salmon_Rob]

sorry for the noob question but, could you clarify for the loosers like me. What exactly is a gtr clip, and the 98 protege es bp? thanks.
the 323 gtr is basically the ultimate protege derivative ever. it was an awd turbocharged homogolated rally car made for wrc to fight the nissan pulsar, wrx and evo. here are some engine specifications

from http://members.ozemail.com.au/~kevmo/eng.htm:

"The Mazda 323 4WD GT-R is powered by an evolution version of the turbocharged and intercooled, type BPD, twin-overhead-camshaft, 16 valve, 1,839-cc, inline 4-cylinder engine. This power plant has been specifically developed for the GT-R and will serve as the basis for the unit for the forthcoming Group-A engine. The GT-R's type BPD engine has been developed by Mazda's Motor Sports Engineering Group.
The type BPD "Big Turbo" produces 136kw EEC (139 kw DIN) at 5,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 235Nm EEC (240 Nm DIN) at 4,500 rpm, figures which are 13 and 8 percent higher, respectively, than the output of the type BPD Turbo that powers the 323 4WD GT-X. The engine's strengths, both power output and torque characteristics, are in the mid-through-high-rpm zone, above 3,000 rpm up to its maximum allowable 6,500 revs.
Numerous improvements have been carried out inn the engine's internals, and the new "Big Turbo" and larger and more direct intercooler system is adopted in the GT-R unit.
The evolution version of the Type BPD, DOHC, 16-valve, EGI/Turbocharged Engine
The type BPD DOHC engine has an 83.0mm bore and an 85.0mm stroke for a total cubic capacity of 1,839 cc. The compression is 8.2:1 and the engine requires premium grade unleaded fuel (minimum RON 95).
The cylinder head is precision diecast aluminium, carrying twin overhead camshafts. The single-stage, cogged-belt-driven camshafts operate 4 valves per cylinder via inverted bucket tappets that incorporate hydraulic lash adjusters, which maintain precise clearance without periodic adjustment. The camshafts are hollow-cast to reduce weight, each camshaft being 500 grams lighter than a comparable solid camshaft.
The valves are Vee-inclined at an included angle of 50 degrees in a compact pentroof combustion chamber with squish area. The spark plug is centrally located in the combustion chamber. Valve diameters are 33mm (intake) and 28mm (exhaust) having 8.00mm and 8.5mm lifts respectively. The exhaust valves are sodium cooled. Encased within each thin, hollow, 6-mm valve stem is metallic sodium, which when exposed to heat, liquefies and helps dissipate heat from the head of the valve.
The aluminium pistons are squeeze-cast with a cast-in cooling channel. With this technique, molten metal continues to be pressurized while it cools in the mold. Blow-holes that might otherwise form during cooling contraction are driven out by pressure, and a denser, stronger casting is formed.
Further, the pistons top ring groove area is reinforced with integrally cast nickel-based "metal foam". The nickel foam is produced by electroplating urethane foam, which is then melted away, leaving porous metal "foam". The foam ring is integrally cast in the piston by the squeeze-casting method. The metal reinforced, squeezed-cast piston with cooling channel was first adopted in Mazda's direct-injection diesel engine, whose pistons are subjected to extremely high thermal load during the combustion process. the metal reinforced piston is about 10 percent lighter as compared with an aluminium piston with Niresist top ring groove, and according to Mazda's testing has an extended piston life by threefold. The piston's skirt is also zinc-plated for improved wear resistance, and its inside is cooled by an oil jet.
The forged steel connecting rods have a larger section for added strength. The connecting rod's big-end bearing is fully balanced with counter weights and is supported by five main bearings, again of competition grade kalmet metal.
Manifold System
With the "Big Turbo", it has become critical that boosted air is distributed to the individual cylinders in equal volume and pressure. Likewise, the energy of exhaust gas must be fully exploited to quickly "spin-up" the big turbine in order to obtain high power and minimum turbo lag.
The Mazda engine design team has perfected a unique manifold system, combining the air volume and pressure equalizing intake and exhaust extractor manifolds.
It was Mazda's finding that with more a more commonly used equal-length intake manifold, the tract nearest to the air entry received the least volume/pressure, and the farthest tract the most. By trial, measurement and testing, the engine team perfected a cast aluminium manifold that has intricately curved and sized "walls" between the individual tracts leading to the intake ports to equalize air volume and pressure. A bonus is that the manifold's swirl generating effect contribute to efficient combustion. The equalizer intake manifolds have shown its effectiveness in improving torque from idling to the Group-A 300-bhp-plus output level and all the way up to maximum revs.
The exhaust manifold has individual tracts collecting at the turbocharger entry. These tracts are in two groups; the tracts from cylinders 1 and 4 are routed to the center, and those from cylinders 2 and 3 to the outside. This routing allows nearly equal tract length. The complex manifold is made of cast ferrite steel, for which the lost-form casting method is employed. Not only is this about 20 percent lighter, much stronger and its passages much smoother than a conventional cast iron one, but also its surface finish is much smoother.
The exhaust manifold's extracting ability precludes an unwanted rise in exhaust back-pressure, which would cause the dilution of the combustion chambers with exhaust gas. This would, in turn, raise cylinder temperatures. Enriching the fuel/air mixture to lower combustion temperatures would obviously deteriorate fuel economy.
The GT-R exhaust system adopts a 3-way catalytic converter with larger capacity but a reduced number of cells, and a new main silencer that assures reduced resistance to gas flow. "

the 1998 es bp is the usdm non turbo obdII version of that motor. the important part there is that its obd II, thus with harness modifications and an ecu should work in our cars

Nice! That should help a lot this winter. It looks like you could have a two car garage there fairly easily. That breezeway seems like a waste, by comparison.

I haven't done anything to the P5 lately, but I built a new CAI for the MPV (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123638367&page=11) today! :D

i got the hose clamps and put them on the axleback hangers, and it works well, it doesnt hit bang around anymore on turns.

the car does seem to vibrate alot more though however. ill probably put hose clamps on the mid pipe hangers as well.

i noticed my shifter was kinda vibrating alot at idle as well. would loosening the spring bolts aid this?

haha... vibrations are goooooood. My shifter vibrates more than a female personal device. And my steering wheel is what you would imagine a plane crashing too be like. Actually, after a day or two you don't notice it anymore.

I finally got around to ordering a SRI, of course I don't get home for another month or so, so putting it on in the middle of december will be lots of fun. Stupid winter, wrecking my plans for actually doing something.

Ok, if you were in Ohio, there'd be nothing left of those bolts. That's why my exhaust leaked the way it did for the last two months. Plus my J-pipe took a turn for the worst. I have it rigged up to work until I can get a header, but it's getting cold and I don't feel like working on the car too much right now.

[kura808]

^^ very kool xD i like the neon green heh..i'm a fan of neon colors LMAO. what does the transmission has 3rd and 4th gear wit lsd mean? doesnt the lsd work wit all gears? hmm idk haha

[kura808]

o yea i took her out for a drive. been about 3 weeks since i last drove her. heh still was sitting in my garage spotless from the last time i washed her heh.

[redpr5]

i can say ive actually modded my car now.
i FINALLY lowered the protege! (only one casualty in the process...passenger side endlink was seized, yay for dremels, not yay for no rear sway bar though)
did the megan racing springs on saturday with the help of justin. it looks really good i think, im waitin for the springs to settle the rest of the way. but so far it looks a lot better than factory ride height.
pics up later today (im at work, so i cant take them now)


off-topic: does anybody know if Xenon-Expert is still selling the Katsuro HID kit? (HIDs are my next purchase)

shiiiiit I like driving at night, lots less cars and no sun in your eyes and all the pretty lights.... but holy shit I think every single driver I saw tonight was the worst driver in the world, until I saw the next one, and then the next one... freaking weird these people have license.

they slow accelerate to 45, while I am accelerating normal and cruising at 45 .... they come blasting past me at like 70 only to hit the same red light I do.

I see them running up on each others asses, then tapping the brakes 6-7 times before backing off and running up their asses again.

lol, nothing really happened to me - it was just other shit I saw drivers doing to themselves or each other.

and then I saw a silver SRT-4. he was in the turning lane and I was going straight, but I bet I could have gotten him to race me right into the freaking median lol.

Water vapor in the exhaust = condensation when it cools. I think that's probably what you are seeing. Either way, I don't think it's any cause for concern.

Only concern would be rusting the muffler out as the water tends to become absorbed by the material inside the muffler. If you have a stainless steel muffler, you're fine.

I spy an engine damper kit. How does it feel? I have replaced my front and side motor mounts. I have (in my posession) the rear inserts but have too many projects to tackle as it is. I would almost rather spend the money on the damper (and make the kit) IF it will help the rear. Any thoughts?

So that was you who IM'd me! Um, you could probably just go to any auto parts store and buy the "auto grade" hardware you need. I've been doing this for years and the current nuts/bolts holding my turbo setup together were bought there. No problems yet.

EDIT: Sorry I wasn't more helpful - I always get a little confused when someone IM's me and I have no idea who they are.

The engine Damper helped a lot. Aspecially in eliminating engine movement while reving and pounding through gears. I have not installed any engine mounts yet but I believe with an engine damper and a new front engine mount that is all you need concidering the front and the rear engine mounts get the most force and wear and tair on them

I'm seriously thinking about seafoaming the engine soon. Idle has gotten rougher over the past few months. Using it on a turbo car worries me though...

[aMaff]

why? That way you clean out the turbo too!


LOL I have no idea if that's actually true, but it sure sounds good to me!

[dave45090]

I read in one of the seafoaming threads that it's not good to do it to a turbo motor. I'll try and dig it up for you.

[magnumP5]

I read in one of the seafoaming threads that it's not good to do it to a turbo motor. I'll try and dig it up for you.
Received PM but I'm a little confused on some points as to why seafoam would be bad for F/I cars (see PM).

Basically if MSP's have a check valve in the brake booster then shouldn't all Proteges? If that's not the case the I still wouldn't have one because I've only added one check valve (see the "If you've boosted an N/A Protege..." thread) so I don't see why that would be a problem.

Any other comments on this?

[evilmonkeyMSP]

ordered a set of Posi Quiet pads for all 4 corners.

[magnumP5]

Checked oil and noticed it was a little on the low side. I also was completely out of wiper fluid. So I topped off the oil and filled the wiper fluid (holy crap these cars take like a full gallon!). It also looks like I need to add a little coolant so tomorrow it looks like I'll be doing that and cleaning my air filter.

So you just ran it through the valvetrain? Are you going to change your oil soon or is that just when you use it in your oil?

[NCZ13]

i just got my oil changed, and i dont want to have to get it changed again. what im going to do, is when this tank (its full) gets close to empty ill pour another 1/3 into the tank. then ill fully seafoam the car again next oil change.

from what ive read, you only need to change your oil when you pour seafoam into the crank case.

[magnumP5]

Well she's been having some problems today. I've gotten a strange rattling noise on three different occasions and I can't figure out if it's just a pipe rattling against something else or if it's something more serious. To check, I revved her up to redline a few times in the parking. Well apparently she didn't like that because on the last rev she almost stalled coming back down - the RPM kept fluctuating between about 1000 and zero. I've also had this sort of thing happen on cold starts occasionally - would go from 2000 to almost stall to 1500 to almost stall and eventually it would clear up. Anyone know what this sounds like?

[josh_silvernale]

Which years had the EGR problems? I thought '02s didn't have that problem - or is that the VICS butterfly problem? Man, I can't remember anymore. She's driving better today but I'm going to go out and check some things anyway. I'll probably clean out the EGR and seafoam the top end next week as well.

Sounds like you blew the welds on the intake....



:p
DANGER TO MANIFOLD! (ricer)

[DeadGeneration]

IMO there was never any EGR problem

[NCZ13]

today, i started my car, and revved up to high, and when i came to an idle, the rpms were going crazy.

im assuming this is because the i have no pre cat anymore, and its causing the egr to go crazy because it takes the 2nd o2 sensor to warm up?

[mazda_pro5_2nr]

I don't think that should be the case....I am running catless and it doesn't do that......

[NCZ13]

well im going to replace the plugs, because i pulled the cylinder 3 plug, and it was blacker on one side of the white insulator part then it was on the other.

maybe i need to clean my egr as well...

[aMaff]

how would the EGR help with it getting black on the white insulation part? Usually that indicates a valve cover gasket leak.

[NCZ13]

huh, my valve cover is leeking some sludge too... as well as my oil cap.

my idle has been weird for awhile. i have a valve cover gasket, as well as a valve cover that i bought that i polished up nicely.

Meh, silver's more of just a color. Now red has emotion tied to it. Passion, lust, love, anger etc. are all implied by red. Ironically enough my P5 has made me feel each and every on of those on more than one occasion. Not to mention the fact that red is bright and easy to see in parking lots so I can find her easily. That is when I'm not parked behind anything taller than a Corolla. Damn lowering springs, LOL.

I've had those on for the past 3 years. Drive it to skiing and also up to Canada a couple of times each winter. Drove in a snow storm last year from Boston to Bangor. I worry more about the right winter tires than clearance.

Where do you ski?

cleaned up all the glass from the break in. NO MORE STEREO EQUIPMENT FTL! everything is gone. the whole center console (cause most of us know how fucking hard it is to get the stereo out of the P5) including the sub and amp. So... anyone parting out their p5 still have the center console thing, sorry too pissed to think of what that is actually called. pics tomorrow...

Sorry to hear man....I have been there and it sux!!! GL in your search.
