i dunno about that engine :-\
its a very nice body especially with that crazy orange though

Re:Raced a 2003 orange mazdaspeed protege
 

I'm sure you can boost more than the stock 6psi. You could probably just add an FMU or afc, and an mbc and make it fast for relatively nothing.And if you blow it, you still have warranty ;) ;)

Ya I beta one in my stock auto 96 maxima. From a 40 roll, I had about 1 1/2 cars by 80 mph. Wait till I get this big ass t3/t4 with stage 5 wheel on.

Re:Raced a 2003 orange mazdaspeed protege
 

My friend had one and he turned up the boost and it threw a rod. Those motors are junk.

Re:Raced a 2003 orange mazdaspeed protege
 

How high did he go? I have not seen one with work done yet, so I can't say much.

Re:Raced a 2003 orange mazdaspeed protege
 

He turned it up 4 psi over stock, whatever stock is... I guess it is 6.5? so 10.5. And that is on an inefficient T25, so... Junk It's funny though, I am pretty sure he got it fixed under warranty.

Re:Raced a 2003 orange mazdaspeed protege
 

Damn, that's funny, some what, if he got it fixed, oh well.
did he add any more fuel?

Re:Raced a 2003 orange mazdaspeed protege
 

those engines are stock n/a engines with just the turbo and ecu upgrade, no forged internals, just cast stock pistons, they run 9:1 compression, i have heard of alot of people upping the boost and trhowing or bending rods. :-\ cheapo mazda must have had alot of protege engines lying around and the thought. hmmm, we can just turbo these engines and put them i a mazdaspeed protege..I bet it was fords idea.
