Someone should tak this over, Im not Driving a Protege anymore 14.3 second GTI VR6 Baby!!

A turbo kit doesnt nessessaraly "bolt right in" (The need for a "pry bar" in that case would be drastic, simply needing cutting, splicing, adjusting to fit right, welding, ect as many quality parts do (not nessessaraly a turbo kit, but not excluding) is life under the hood, as is needing a pry...

So close they are pretty much the same damn thing, go figure as Tsudo basically just copied the OBX design. I bet thats how they churn a profit at a cheeper rate per part, with no design/testing as overhead. However for those who think the OBX fits better, its fals as both OBX and Tsudo have...

Yep it will work on Turboed cars. The method actually originated from the Scoobie croud boosting with no cats, ;)

Its all good, on to new things :)

to sum it up Im pretty sure I tossed some screws threw the motor, and posible spun a rod bearing. I definatly fried the s*** out of the piston rings ect. Heres what happened. Since day 1 Mobile 1 with .3 qt of Lucas oil Stabalizer (after the 3.7 of oil, to keep her from starving the 4th piston...

Selling her, because Im pissed off at the motor (Its like a bitter sweet relationship)

Yeah, the search came to a hault, I fried a bunch of stuff in the motoor annd decided to sell the Protege and get a GTI VR6 (points to sig) Pics of thhe motor are at my cardomain page.

Sounds like a plan, Ill set the thread up tomorow once I get a chance to do the pic with the grill & my handle, it might be this weekend. The pricing will be 40$ + shipping (That will be just the actual shipping cost) that should be under 20$ depending on where you are (if that) The peice...

Yup she feels great driven with a little spirit (Perfect gearing for burning arround town) & Im going to miss her quite a bit.

Its fiberglass & its actually a Grill ment for a P5 It will fit the Sedan perfectly with the help of a little bondo during paint prep (Standard prep for a fiberglass custom peice) The lower is billet alluminum, painted all black withe front side only polished. the side peices are adjustable...

Some could argue that the breathing of the motor is the cause. Im surprised though, because after I put mine in, I drove her harder keeping the revs high enjoying the extra ponies & this of-course resulted in lower miles per gallon :) Glad to hear the CEL hasnt come on, after arround 500+ you...

Thanks, the cars now for sale though

I hope for the best

14-18 ft-lb should be fine
