    cold air intake for 96 protoge

    it's not difficult to get 2 silicon joiners, (a length of alloy with a 90deg bend on each end) then put your air filter in the fog light hole and join it to the maf.

    six puck clutch disk i think you'll find. yes, plenty of people use them. i use one also. as long as it isn't brass button you'll hardly notice it (well maybe a little ;))

    micro tech lt 10 aux. wires

    and ignition on - don't forget ignition must be 'on' to connect! but to be fair, the microtech doesn't have anything to do with the starter motor firing. this is a different problem altogether.

    micro tech lt 10 aux. wires

    blown fuse? how have you wired the microtech power? straight from the battery with a fuse in between or did you run it from one of the original vehicle fused circuits? i mean if you connected the mt (big red wire) to the battery and it's got a good earth (big black wire) then there is cause for...

    Radiator Problem or cracked head

    firstly, are you sure it's coming out the overflow and not one of the welch plugs on the block? i ask cos i had this happen - looked like a water pump leak but a frost plug had rusted a wee hole and was pouring out there. secondly i'd be checking the radiator cap. the whole point of a radiator...

    LSD Transmission Complete

    Any chance you might share the secrets of your new clutch with us Rob? It looks like you and I have about the same Hp goals so I'm keen to see how your clutch goes (and drives on the street) before I get mine made. I was lucky enough to get hold of a decent efini lsd box and shafts so I'm also...

    Question-Wastegate dump...

    i'd guess that at WOT on a 2.0l engine, with a t3 turbine (depenging on the trim) you'll hit 5psi pretty quickly - say ~3000-3200rpm (maybe not in 1st gear ;)) - after which your w/g will be open fully. venting a w/g to atmosphere will drive you and everyone else insane. unless you have a...

    options for new tranny

    sorry man, it wasn't actually a question. the gtx has a g series box just like i do. the gears are almost exactly the same (3rd is identical). if you want stronger gears, get your wallet out. hint: get a transmission cooler first.

    I have a GTX now, finally.

    there should be carbony s*** IN your intake manifold but the fresh air breather shouldn't be venting into the intake on the pressurized side of the turbo - that would be disastrous. the fresh air breather should exit to the low pressure side of the turbo. that said, i do find it strange that...

    I have a GTX now, finally.

    blow by is normal, it's just a matter of how much you get and it would be unusual to see that much in your compressor housing. i'd have to say that the pcv would need to be mighty blocked to spew that much gunk out of the side breather but i guess it could happen. usually most of the...
