Decided to get rid of the stock IC and mount a bigger and better FMIC. Runs great except we have a egr valve problem which is sticking and getting shitty idle, but we will replacing it soon. Pictures speaks for themselves, Enjoy the pics.










Here we ran into a problem, we ran out of 90 degree mandrel bends so I rig up a 90 degree and welded and JB weld again. ---- works





Here all done and ready to go.


All and all it was pretty cool project. We blew the pipes off couple of times but after tighten the ---- out of the clamps its good to go again.

 

pretty nice man, looks good

 

how do those mazda speeds drive...
fast?
handle good?
brake good?
comfortable?

kinda interested...

 

Looks good man, any pics of the whole car?

 

went to mazada race thing where u get to race their cars and they had a mazda speed *miata* booth and i asked the dude if they sold and upgraded intercooler besides the stock one and he told me that it was upgraded. my civic radiator is twice as large.

 

The protege as is one of the best handling cars out today. Ive been looking for info on both the mazdaspeed protege and miata but havent been able to find any good info on them.

 

ive seen them running down the 1/4 not impressed

 

from what ive heard of them, they are a great "sporty family car"

fast, but not to fast
handles like its on rails
easy riding for 4 mid sized people
and it will stop on a dime.

thats just what ive heard. i have heard though, they are slow as ---- in the 1/4 but you get one on the highway, go from 5th to 3rd, build boost, and its gone...

i would just like to hear from someone who has one...


and another mod ive heard which is almost a must, a bigger DP.

 

I'm not impressed either. My neighbor had one. I took it for a ride, the handling was unbeleivable, but the power just felt weak. I wouldn't have even known it was turbocharged had he not said anything. it felt NA to me, but damn did it handle nice.
