Gen3 Turbo 1.6L
Hay all you GEN3 1.6ers I've just completed an install of a Garrett
T25 turbo with intercooler on my 1.6L. Go here and get all the info:
http://www.protegeclub.com/forum/sho...&threadid=8208
or check out my web site for pics: http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4291978349 or you can go to the guy who fabricated my
manifold/header/piping site and see pics in the projects tab:
www.wagnermotorsports.net.
NOTE this is not a kit we are offering but Andrew at Wagner
Motorsports can make you a manifold on a one by one basis contact him
via his web site ( www.wagnermotorsports.net) for more info if you
need any help on engineering the system I can give you tons of advice
on what I've learned from my experience. The turbo install is the
easy part getting the ECU to accept the boost with out dreaded fuel
cut is huge battle you'll have to fight.

**Also, another reason, I have been slowly planning a business of my own selling performance parts, etc. Seeing how limited the Protege aftermarket is right now also has me thinking of ways to not only tap into that market (for my own selfish reasons of course $$$), but also perhaps expand it and bring more options to my fellow enthusiasts. After all, why should Honda guys get all the toys!?

It just seems like Mazda is just now starting to push for some aftermarket support, so perhaps it will start with the 2.0s and trickle down to you guys eventually.

Hadn't seen this post...
I have a 1.6L
Haven't done any mods, but I am getting a new MP3 player to replace the current 10 CD changer. It's somewhere between Jacksonville and Miami at the time... acording the the UPS website.

Did you have it shipped to El Salvador or do you have a relative in the US? I live in Venezuela and I would never order anything through our postal service (if there is such a thing).
I'm on vacation at miami right now so I was able to buy my HU here, I got it yesterday and I'm dying to go back to my country to finally install my sound sys.

i'm tellin you.. maybe it's just your guy' 1.6's. i've taken mine to 120 mph, without issue. it's stable, and wanted to go farther than that. it'll hit 110 in fourth gear on flat road, without a problem.
