Well the car is pretty much ready. They just need to run it on the Dyno. so I won't be able to get it til Monday. So O2 Temp sensor and Idle Control Valve. Unless they pick something else up on the Dyno.

pod filter is legal as long as its enclosed in a box i think..

the exhaust might be a problem, but it you still have the stock one, just chunk it it just for that day..

I've got the exhaust bit so that's cool. The pod but I've chucked the old box etc. So may be shagged on that one.

Just read all 6 pages of this thread and loved it. Had me worried about my own pod install for a second... Was it worth it for all 6 of those killawasps?

Will let you know when I finally pick up the car. I still think this will be a better motor for turboing. So may be! Buzz, buzz!!!

There not really any logic behind that, the rods are just as weak AFAIK. In fact the FP is better then the FS in some aspects for turboing

You could swap the cams couldn't you? Or would that just cause another saga

Compression is the same.

Cam in the FP are a little bit more agressive, so they would help.

Rods are the same between them, but the narrower (not sure how to decribe it) crank on the FP would suit turbo better

Actually, that is not what I got from Mazda:
http://www.protegefaq.net/mods_engine.html#FP_manual
http://www.protegefaq.net/engine.html#FP-DE
http://www.protegefaq.net/engine.html#FS-DE

Information are accurate. They were taken from US, Japan, and Europe service manuals and parts catalogues. As you can see, the FS-ZE cams have more duration and lift than the FP-DE cams. The only thing that makes the FP-DE cams "better" is the exhaust cam which has advanced timing to give more overlap compared to the FS-DE/FS-ZE cams (except when the Mazdaspeed one is used). When using the FP-DE exhaust cam in an Euro/Aussie FS-DE or JDM FS-ZE (while still retaining the FSH9 intake cam), the overlap is a decent 4 degrees increase. The FP-DE pistons are the same as your Aussie/Europe FS-DE pistons, but the resulting compression are not the same. Obviously crankshaft is different but so are the rods. The FP-DE rods are much stronger but neither the FP-DE crankshaft nor the rods can be used in the FS block because the deck height is taller and the pistons will never reach the top!

Don't go picking on the Auto. It kicks ass when you're hungover and keep forgetting to put your foot on the clutch at lights!!!

Car is still not ready. They have had it up on the Dyno. Everythings good mixture wise. Just still having issues with the idle air valve. Will replace it tomorrow. Think they must have only cleaned it before. But it's not allowing the car to warm up fast enough. Revs are staying too low on morning start.
