    Fastest protege...

    About 1/3 of the cost to buy the gt35.... I know of two local guys that have the gt45 ebay turbo and those things have been flawless... Thats a cool video. A perfect example of why you should have an auto too.....

    Fastest protege...

    Thats pretty much along the lines I was thinking. One of those cheapo gt35's, obx manifold, big cheap intercooler, good set of rods and pistons, a few little things here and there. Two fuel rails w/ two sets of injectors(one for driving around, one to kick on high boost). Take the Mpi out of...

    Fastest protege...

    I think a good converter, valvebody, and as many clutches I can fit in there should hold 300-350hp in a light car? Never messed with a fwd auto tranny as far as performance goes, but it's all the same s***. I realize the protege is better suited for corners, but that doesn't really matter to...

    Fastest protege...

    Thats pretty much what I am thinking... I think the biggest down fall is the manual trans. Couple that with no traction and we get these god awful times. Knowing what I know now playing with tire limited cars for the past 7yrs I think I could make a suspension set-up that would do good at the...

    Fastest protege...

    I was thinking about keeping the auto this time around. Good converter and some playing w/the valvebody and stuff some more clutches in there.... I would think it should hold if the car is light enough? Stuff some rods and good pistons in the motor, turn the crank if needed... Cheap ebay...

    If they don't take it down the quarter then it ain't faster... Have to be able to put the power down effectively. Back? Never really left, just been doing my own thing. I've got my good ole 03 Dx thats just about to break 200k miles, ran 15.7 in the quarter, and has gotten 54mpg. Avg 39 no...

    bouncing rpm's at idle

    Remove and clean IAC. If it doesn't fix it, which it probably won't, buy a new one.

    Protege Gas Mileage Thread

    I run 3psi lower than max. stated on tire. Run the lowest octane with the lowest percentage of ethanol avail. A protege def. does not need 91 octane with the stock setup.

    misfire?

    Not typically. If your rod bearings were worn enough to allow the piston to hit the valve (I don't think it is possible on a fs), you would not be worrying about a misfire, you would be wondering what the hellacious noise was. Dump a bottle of water over where your fuel injectors are while...

    valve shims - where to buy

    There is no set size. Every engine will have different sizes due to machining tolerances. That being said I haven't found another engine that has the same dimension lifter.
