Mazda Protege5 Performance stats...
Hi MP5 owners... I was wondering if any one knew what is are cars 0-60sec and 1/4 mile performance. Is there any web site that give us specs on are cars performance? What cars do we compare to in speed and performance?
Also, if we where to do certin modification to give us that faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile what would it be and would it harm are reliabilty on our car?

hmmm....stock, the car is pretty slow...i think the gearing could be a little better...it's kinda like a civic, i think.
with mods, keep in mind that if you do something, you need to make sure that you don't need to do something to offset it...like adding a ton of hp and torque...you need a new clutch...etc.
here's what i've done so far...you can get these parts from www.corksport.com and www.shaneracing.com
injen intake $225
j-spec cams $400
UR Crank Pulley $300
RM Header $400
MP3 ecu
1.8L Updated Coil/wires $100
Pivot Racing Grounding kit $80
Eibach Pro Kit $250
2001 626 Valve Cover $225 (helps to seat the plug wires from the 1.8L coils)
Pacesetter short shifter $100 (switching to the mazdaspeed)
Mazdaspeed P5 axle-back
Iridium plugs $40

I guess thats ok. I was really curious on what was the 0-60sec and the 1/4 mile. Thanks for that info.
What can we do to bring it faster the right way? Is there any way to find a ECU? How would it help if I where to get one?

with a catback and an intake you can probably shave off half a second ,more with a header but than you'll be adding a lot of noise to your car.
anyhow, if you really want a fast car than go turbo.

If I where to go Turbo, What would be the gains and performance that I would have? What kind of cars would I be able to go against
. How would this affect reliability? How much would it cost to install? I'm in Central Florida, any one knows where to find an installer or where to look?
Thanks...

the gains would be v.good...not sure how much though. do a search on that.
as far as i know the reliability goes down with a turbo, it also decreases the lifespan of your engine....
thats why i dont have one.

hiboost:
214 whp
217 ft/lbs torque
@ 8 or 6 psi...i don't remember
14psi = 260 whp.
yeah, you'll gain a lot.
the kit is 4K...and it's well worth it, imo. just dont be stupid and you won't blow your motor.
i'm thinking about buying a motor and building it up with this kit.
