Long Awaited CHDesign Turbo
Hey everyone. I finished up the header and I am going ot build the downpipe this weekend for the CHDesign turbo kit for 99+ F series Pro's. I should be looking at around 155-170 WHP with this kit and it shoudl be a complete bolt on wiht no extras needed. All water/oil lines included along with charge piping intercooler BOV RRFPR, and various other goodies. The boost will be limited to 5-6 PSI more to come.

I'm looking in the 2500-3000 price range I am goign to have to find out though and do some adding. I am making a tubular header at this point in the plan but I think I am going to send mine off to get sand cast so that it will be a cast manifold in the kit. If anyone else wants to know anything just ask and I will answer the best of my ability.

If you wanted to push it to 8 PSI that would be your choise and I would have no liability whatsoever. THe mazda F series engines are good up to around 8PSI on stock internals but that is pushing it. At 9 PSI they are known to gernade but will hold 50% of the time at 9 PSI. They will function reliably and well under 5-6 PSI though I am keeping mine set at 5 PSI for daily driving then bump it to 7 with the boost controller.

Oh yeah if you wanted to puch 8 PSI all the time TKT carries a stroker kit for our engines. 2K bucks but that includes bearings pins rings forged rods and pistons and a balanced crank. With that setup he has run 18 PSI and put 365 HP to the wheels

TKT's website is www.knightturbos.com or if that doesn't work www.boosthead.com either one will take you to the same site. The stroker kit is not listed on his site but the tubo kit is that he makes. Only problem with it is that the charge piping would have to be totally redone since it is setup for the Ford Prode/MX-6 and there is no where to run those pipes on our Pros/P5's/and MP3's Happy Boosting

Where is all this R&D coming from? How many turbocharged Proteges have you built?

The FE3 has a larger block than the FP/FS engine and probably wouldn't fit in the Protege engine bay, certainly not easily.

Theres some probe guys running 14 lbs of boost on stock internals, no problems....and thats not even with a stand alone. Who is blowing motors at 9 lbs?
Personally, i say swap in the FE3, and get a reliable 350-450 hp

I haven't been doing teh R&D i've been in close contact with Bryan Pendelton fromt the Probetalk forum, TKT, and another company out or Oregon(Not corksport) that has had experience in our engines. Through all of them they have all told me that the engines should be limited to 5-6 PSI in case of boost spikes and all of them (except Bryan) have gernaded engines when they hit the 9-10 PSI mark.
