I need help

Do you no if you are able to place a turbo on the 2002 protege. This is the 1.6ltr model.

If you can do it were can i get one from?????

 

yea u definitely can. i just found a turbo kit for a 1.6L protege 99. but u gotta hav som good chump change for this kit. it says that its a direct bolt on and is pretty reliable. i will be getting this kit with the help of my sponsor.....yeppers .the cost for this kit is about $3000...ouch Anyway heres the sit so check it out www. turbokits.com

 

I believe High boost has one also and it's a screemer. Do a search on highboost!

 

AARRGGHH!!! DO NOT BUY A "turbokits.com" TURBO !!! They are junk!!

Hiboost has one for the 1.6L that made 290whp on pump gas and the stock automatic tranny. Buy from reputable vendors.

 

Man, I was on Wagner's website last night, looking at 2.0L turbo kits. W/O intercooler, kits start at about $2600. Add another grand or so for the intercooler. That's a lot of money. But, there is part of me wondering how much it would be worth it/ reasonable/ possible to but the cheaper kit now, get that installed, and add an intercooler a few months later.

Any idea on how much your SC kit is going to cost, Matty?

Maybe I am just dreaming.... that's a lot of money to spend right before a wedding. But damn, if I couldn't JUST CALL A.G. EDWARDS AND TELL THEM I WANT TO CASH IN SOME SHARES. What a terrible temptation.

 

we're looking at a msrp of $2600 for my kit with fmu.

 

Do you accept human body parts in trade, like that damned kidney taking up space in my belly?

 

Now there's an idea, you don't need both of them!

 

That is seriously a good deal compared to all the turbo kits out there....

 

yeah, $1,000 less isn't a bad place to start,

 

Out of curiosity,does anyone know if the turbokits.com manifold actually fits ???

 

i dont thin kthe problem was with the manifold or turbo but the plumbing and the ems. nothing else fit.

 

Ahh, it doesnt matter...Juan will sell his manifold seperately, and it's cast...looks pretty damn strong

 

yeah, I've not seen a cast manifold like that crack on a protege....i used to crack them all the time on my pinto. I actually bought a $200 SSAutochrome manifold off ebay for my pinto and it's flawless...thing runs like a champ and looks great.

 

I still can't get over the fact that you have a turbo pinto...lol...you crack me up son!
