Snertspeed runs a HIBOOST kit in his SP23 and has had little or no problems with it from what I can gather. You may want to shell out for a better ECU because all they give you is fuel control.... full ignition control is obviously important if you are chasing big numbers. |

wow those turbo kits aren't cheap, then again 160Kw from the 2.0 Protege is a big boost with stock exhaust and only fuel management. I'm guessing the US$3,800 is why you stayed NA lordworm? you must be getting close to 160 NA now

Kit isn't expensive when you think it comes with just about everything except engine internals you need to turbo it. |

How much power can you get? well.... thats sort of related to how much money you have to throw at the problem. 100hp per L of displacement NA is certainly possible on most piston engines - but the FSDE and FPDE (2L and 1.8L) would require extensive amounts of work to get it to happen.... as for the 1.6L i don't know... i've never played with one, or spoken to anyone who has done serious work to one. |

Exhaust, cams, EMS, intake, the list is endless, also stops with how much you want to spend

What motivated that comment after a month? EDIT: Disregard, I just saw the "other" thread!
Did you just do a dyno(or time) stock vs TE37's? If so, howd it go? I'd reeeaaally like TE37 15x6.5 but can't afford it. Maybe Enkei RPF1 15x7, but I'm not sure if either will fit. +35 outside the fender or + 41 too close to the strut mount. Last edited by Sleepy Gonzalez; 17-06-2008 at 03:53 PM. |
