Do anyone has the Indigo pully set and water pump / alternator pulley set on the car. How's the performance? I'm thinking to get these 2 set. And if you were me, which one are you gonna do first, the 2 pully sets that list above or the mazdaspeed in/ex cam + sr motor sport cam gears.
As the ecu, how about the "Microtech LT8 Standalone Engine Management System"?
thx a lot

yes and no. I'm the only person making superchargers for the 3rd gen pros....it's not done yet but should be soon. There's a big thread in the 3rd gen engine/tech section at the top...WOMP.

Also, I think Haltech has the most people that are familiar with Proteges tuning them. If I were to go turbo or S/C for my baby, I'd probably invest in the best.

well it looks like I'll probably be hanging onto it a bit longer. I quit my job last week and it's not a good time to be spending money so loosely....so i'll probably just tinker with the p5 alittle more and then when I settle with a new good job I'll make a switch. Now if the p5 were to sell soon I could buy the ms6 for the same payment as what I'm making on the p5 so it's a draw really. I guess I'm just really holding off just to see what happens.

I'll probably get a megasquirt for my FC...someday. They seem to be pretty reliable for the rotary guys.

i've got a local buddy who is a MS expert. He's begging me to buy the hardware and he says he'll do the rest. I just dont know if the tune would ever be as good as a piggyback could be. I don't want to affect driveability for a little extra performance.

After thinking for a few days, I decide to do the pully sets and the cams. I want to put turbo so much but I know nothing about changing auto to manual (by the way, how many bar do 6 psi have?? I'm a asian guy that just came to American 2 yrs ago and I still don't know how to transfer bar to psi). I'll see if I can do a before and after dyno, if yes, I'll post them here.
p.s. I'm in such a bad mood right now, my car using NanKang NS-1 tires, they are just 5-6 months old but 3 of them dead already. The first one dead about a month ago, the second one blow up yesterday when I was driving 70 mph on the highway. And today blow up another on the highway again. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING. I always check my tires.

PS= How do you like the springs- I went with Basics full coilover setup, and I love it.
