I finnaly Put a body kit on and rims...I have no idea what else to put on besides a full exhuast...do they make shift kits and stall converters???

Roddimus Prime

um..thats a pretty open-ended question. What is your goal for your car?

Protege_Joe

My goal for my car is to basically be a civic killer, killing all them ricer civics...so be somewhat fast but not no super 13 second car

hmm, I would suggest saving up and purchasing the Wagner Motorsports bolt-on turbo kit. I don't have exact details but as far as I know he's the only turbo maker for the 1.6L motor. Ithink it was a 100hp increase...maybe less on the auto, but should still be fun!

johnson

WOW!!! Once again, another plug for wagner's turbo. Do they sponsor you, or do you get money for every person...that buys one? I'm not trying to come off as an *******. I don't mean to. But is it really as good as you claim it is? Also, which is better...in terms of quality and boost: Wagner's or FlyinProtege's?\

Thanks,
Johnson

To answer your questions...."NO". I receive no money or compensation from Wagner. As I mentioned before Nick has worked witrh me for years on my turbo ford race car and I'm simply returning the favor for him by fielding questions and sending customers his way.

The Wagner turbo kit is the ONLY 1.6L turbo kit for the protege that I've seen. Flyin'g Protege is no more...I don't think they ever made a 1.6L kit....either way. The only vendor still providing this prouct is Wagner. I can't help it if they are proviing such an array of products for the protege community. I'm only stating the obvious.

johnson

Ok, thanks. But are you gonna answer the last question? Whats the difference, besides the FlyinProtege's got an intercooler in the package.??

Roddimus Prime

There is no flying protege kit....they don't make any protege parts anymore. I never even knew they made a 1.6L turbo kit in the first place. I'm sure they didn't sell enough for their to be a supply af used 1.6L turbo kits in the for sale section.

I can't answer your question about the differences because I didn't know they ever produced such a kit.

johnson

disregard, its a 2.0 kit...which they still have posted on their website.

Roddimus Prime

according to Keith at FP they no longer carry ANY protege parts or make any turbo kits for the protege - engine size disregarded.

Protege_Joe

Yes a Turbo would be tons of fun, but ill save a turbo car for when I get a Supra, Im staying N/A on my protege. So what else can I do besides exhuast, intake, header. rims,....what else is there..
