How are you guys/gals doing?

I posted about this way back in the day but didn't seem to get much response...I would like to know if anyone is pursing a serious performance upgrade to their P5 (turbo, nos, engine/head work, etc). Let me know...I would to see some protege5 tech in the tech experts forum.

Is anyone going for serious drag or autocross? Help your fellow p5'ers out...be a contributor!

If anyone would like to take pics and comment on the installation of any mod...let me know also!

sorry....not me....I only have 3K on my P-5 and other than the normal bolt on's....I have decided to keep it "intact" until some later date. I would LOVE to have 40 or so more HP....but not at the expence that it would put me back right now.

I am currently going to get the cams next and then from there probably the Flywheel and underpulleys, I'm not sure about the .050 pistons because of problems but I think it would be cool, I just want about 200 hp that would make me happy

Wshade - who made the turbine and where did you get this done? Does the boost come on at a decent rpm, or do you need to get way up in the band before she kicks in. You must LOVE having the extra zoom-zoom.

Not yet. Only had car back for 2 weeks and currently in the process of having the manifold, downpipe and turbo housing coated. As soon as that is complete I will have more pictures and hopefully dyno numbers. I want to wait until the custom exhaust is complete before the 1/4 but I dont think temptation will allow that.

WShade...sounds like its going to be one hell of a setup when youre done...well until you find "more" need for speed

Custom exhaust...using what parts (muffler, mandrel bends?)...what diameter?

When you do run the 1/4 mile...please post times here:

A buddy of mine has a tig welder. We are going 2 1/2 in 304 stainless (3 if we really get crazy) all the way back from the cat mandrel bend. Have not yet decided on the muffler. Cant wait for someone to come out with a bolt on replacement high flow cat (dont want to move the o2 sensors and throw a check engine light).
