Anyone supercharge or turbo their 1.6L MP?
Hi people, new here.
I have a 1.6L protege, nice car. Problem: sloooooow! OK, maybe I am too demanding, my previous car was a Corolla with a very special 20 valve blacktop engine transplanted into it, 160hp at the flywheel (read very quick). So now, I am thinking of either supercharging or going for a turbo for the ZM-DE engine in my car. Any experience, comments, advice? Thanks |

Unless you go custom, this is your only option. Its a pretty good setup too. One of our members has one and he is boosting close to 200hp. I may do a custom setup. When I upgrade the turbo in my Nissan, I'm going to keep the turbo and use it for my protege w/a TMIC. |
lol...I just realized what the Pshew is in your sig link. Nice :).

How much boost does the wagnermotorsports turbo give? I want a turob but don't want to affect reliability/drivability of my daily driver. Just want more power. Also afraid of turbo lag especially w/ 4speed auto.

Not to worry, supercharger ordered and on its way. Rotrex SP-30, with a sig. con., 2 bar MAP sensor, FM 2 fuel controller for the extra fuel injector, and a charge cooler kit to keep the intake air nice and cool... will post results once kit is installed...

Who makes a supercharger for the 1.6l?
|
Lots of brands available. Rotrex, Procharger, Vortex,.... just to name a few. And you can supercharge any car, any engine size, any number of cylinders. Easy to do, just need to get all the parts you need together. There is no ready-to-bolt-on "kit". After a lot of research, I decided to choose Rotrex. Check out their site, very cool.

I'm just going to get the kit from Wagner Motorsports. Its so dam cheap, so I figured "why not?". I already have a fast car, I'm just doing this to my 1.6l Pro so I don't get dicked around on the highway by asshole drivers.
