that is doh engine. i have lx gen1. not sure it would fit on my car

 

Yes he's referring to the Homer Simpson line of protege engines that were produced for a slight few years.

If you have a 1G LX Protege then you have the "d'oh" engine. The turbo kits will fit. You're looking at roughly $5000 for a decent running setup.

 

that is a lot of coin

 

Yes it is, but it's a great start if you want to do it right. I'm pretty sure that price includes the Haltech (engine management) which is about $1000+ just itself. To have a really good running system, it's going to cost you unfortunatley.

 

you can do some of the work yourself instead of taking it to a shop and thus save $$$

 

He's got a Canadian LX so just a SOHC, will cost a bit more!

 

rkives, how's your project coming along???


'D'Oh' engine hey? lol

 

Very close!

Have to figure out the Dash/Fuel pump wiring on the harness. Other than that, the Transmission is back this weekend. So the motor should be in this weekend.

Struts and springs,
