ok......so, how much hp can be gained out of our 2.0 liter engines with a CAI, header, j spec cams, single runner mani, and cat back exhaust? Is it possible to get stock MSP hp numbers out of an NA Protege? oh curiosity

 

You will never get good, or even decent N/A numbers from this engine w/o spending a lot more than a small turbo or the WOMPer will cost you. And the FI will get you better numbers, too.

Aren't you a member at msprotege, too? Have you ever spent time in the N/A section reading about how much money twilightprotege and others have spent? Just crazy.

If you wanna stay N/A, you'll have to be satisfied with working toward 120-130 to the wheels unless you feel like spending big $$/hp.

 

^^ tru dat peep.

speed costs money....how fast do you wanna go?

 

I was thinking of just the header, intake manifold, and FSZE intake cam... and i'm probably going to be ok with it... i dunno others though. BUT i will tweek the suspension by alot, the wife doesnt want me to spend too much on my car =(

 

well I am not looking for any specific numbers out of NA I am just curious as to how much is possible out of those upgrades. I don't think I want to turbo. If I do anything I think it will be womp. Ya Im on msprotege as well. how much whp comes stock for these engines? and what is stock whp for a speed?

 

I actually think I would be happy with 130 to the wheels Im just curious as to how likely it is

 

stock msp is about 140 give or take 5hp.... most modded NA proteges never see 130whp without coin.
