good work, what is next on your long list of mods?

I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!! your fabricator got a price on a manifold and downpipe,and how much did that T25 cost you???....also you really think the Apexi AFC will work...how much boost you gonna run???....got any idea as to estimated output?? I'd REALLY like to get something like that setup in my car

 

how 'bout it biknman????

 

We'll folks its complete except for running the EGT and Boost guages and setting the boost level and BOV. We ran it yesterday with no problems at the factory set boost level from the actuator on the Gareet T25 I got form a Jspec 2nd Gen Eclipse which I think is 11psi. I'll know for sure today when I hook up the boost guage.
System is Custom Stainless Steel manifold with flang for a Garret T25 with bungs for the O2 sensor and EGT guage probe and down pipe with pung for second Os sensor, Turbo is a T25 of an Jspec 2nd gen Eclipse with less than 30K the exhuast hosing was modified so that acutaor could be mounted properly and compressor outlet faced in right direction oil cooled and water cooled with TurboXS standard boost controller, Intercooler from 2nd gen Eclipse sets in bottom of engine bay on driverside behind raditor, Intake to throttle body and IC pipes is steel painted high temp black and then clear coated with high temp paint silcone fittings and TurboXS BOV, Intake pipe to turbo is cut up and rewelded alu. pipe from Injen CAI for 1.6L with MAF sensor and air filter in drviers front fender-well. Autometer Boost, EGT, and Fuel pressure guages mounted in cab in extra din slot.

 

no cel from the maf censor? that's my big question aside from what 1/4 mile time you get even though i know you're not a dragger, and also what power it's puttin to the wheels now.

 

and an approximate for us 2.0L people.

 

for the 2.0...i talked with andrew while i was there with dave, and i'll be starting to buy parts within the month, i'll be doing a write-up similar to daves for the 2.0 install,the manifold, and all that jazz.

 

Well folks turbo is running need to work out some bugs. I have small oil link in theturbo so I get some blue smoke out the tail pipe. And when I'm at WOT under boost the ECU cuts all the fuel an I'm running lean so the car doesn't want to run all like its being coked to death but i let up on the throttle about a 1mm and it runs fine. I guess i have to work out the fuel managment stuff now so that when I slam the throttle down I get [power all the way thought the rpm range.

FYI the guy the did the custom fribriction work Andrew, has a web site up check it out at www.wagnermotorsports.net

 

are you using a FMU like the Vortec 10:1? Also, could Andy make another manifold, like yours, for my car (Protege5 2.0L)?

 

Friday I'm having the car tunned by http://www.extrememotorsports.com/ and hopefully will have the fuel managment stuff under control and the car dynoed with some numbers for you guys.

This the current problem: http://www.extrememotorsports.com/g2stage/stage6.htm I'm having and hopefully friday it will be fixed and I'll be repppin it up

 

From what you have read and I have read its all assumtions. No body in the Protege world has tried to find out if it (AFC) will work. So I'm going to try. Right now the plan is bigger injectors and adj fuel regulator to raise fuel pressure when at boost. I'm letting the Pros at Extreme Motorsports handle this stuff so we'll see what they come up with.

 

Biknman,

Do you already have a fuel pump? Let me look in my parts, I may have the fuel pump from the turbo charged 626 (2.0L turbo charged from 1985-88) I may still have the bigger injectors from the Toyota Supra. They will fit.

I was thinking to you can put a fifth injector programed to dump fuel right before WOT.

Did you ever advance your ignition timing by turning the disbuter?
To much advancing on turbo causes WOT but I know you know this already. I would go back to stock degrees.

I did not know I was getting a Protege 5, If I did I would of been turbo and All Wheel Drive. Its the same set up as the Mazdaspeed Protege but it has all wheel drive. I may stop by crazy rays to see if it there.

 

Got the car into Extreme Friday for some tuning they installed a fuel pressure regulator and bumped up the fuel pressure to 40 psi the car ran great until WOT and then damn fuel cut. We ordered a Vortec 12:1 FMU should be in this week and by next week we'll have it installed and do some more Dyno pulls. FYI with an additional 15 Hp tuned into car with Fuel pressure bumped up at WOT was only making 47 HP ugh! Before turbo was making around 80 hp. I'll keep you guys posted.
