what your protege 5 runs?
i've been tryin to see best times for the PR5. bone stock i ran a 17.6 but tire bounce was univoidable.
i just put intake and exhaust on my 02 PR5 haven't ran it yet but have beaten civis ls with headers intake and exhaust, corolla type-s and kept up with civic si 03............ has anyone done better and what can i do without turbo to get quicker? |
My P5 with ebay SRI intake and header ran a 16.29s It runs about 10.4s in the eighth.
|
stock i ran 16.8@81.5mph and haven't been back since!
|
I hear a viscious rumor that the new 2.3L mazda3s are running 15.9's stock!! whoa!!
|
yall ran 16's stock?.....how?......maybe i would have but at the start the tire bouce killed me.....how did you get past that
|
i heard the mazda 3's ran low 15's....i test drove them when i was looking for my car and they are quick.........looking to see if the mazda 3 engine will fit in the PR5.....it comes stock 180 horse...i guess i'll have to see if it could work
|
time to check your "facts". the Mazda 3 engine will NOT fit in the P5 without a LOT of work
and it only makes 160hp....gotta read up on those things first! |
p.s. I achieve my "low times" through proper launching and good shifting. Just practice some more and you'll improve.
I started the night last night running 11s 1/8 mile....by the end of the night I had learned which lane was stickier and had dropped my times from 11.05s to 10.53s. A half second is like a mile in drag racing. |
i know the work would be a lot. was thinkin bout putting an RX-7 engine in it but thats a lot of freakin work....the Mazda 3 engine is not as much work..........and i thought i read 180 but that was 3 months ago so might have made a mistake
|
swapping a mazda 3 engine into a p5 isn't going to be that much work?!?! dude....please don't start with this.
|
Well its not gonna be a lot of work for me.....i'm gonna pay someone to do it.......and since my boys own the shops that work on ish out here it's not that much in labor fees.......
|
(sigh)....it's like trying to teach a dog how to use the commode.
dude. Good luck with your M3 project. You'll need it. When/if your "friends" finish the swap for you be sure to post extensive pictures and a total cost for everyone. Have you even looked at the two engines side by side to see what they even look like? As a fabricator and someone who has built several hybrid vehicles I wish you and your firends the best of luck. It ain't happenening. now go and prove me wrong...be my hero! p.s. an M3 engine is going to cost you $4500 for the long block, the ECU is about $1200, wiring harness another $1500....all of this added to the cost of random bitsd and pieces AND the cost of a P5..... |
well the cost doesn't bother me much but i'm not trying to say it's gonna be easy.......when i bought the P5 i wanted to prove a point to a certain person........gotta bet going......i gotta run a integra in January 05....he runs a low 13 right now.........it's something to try but if i can't work there's always other options....
|
and if they get it done don't worry the pics will be everywhere.....
