Need a little help for my project
 
Hi guys,

Can somebody give me the link for the shop A-spec in toronto plz.:)

I've been away from the site because I sold my protege(got good money for it:))...

Now I own a C230 2002 but I want to buy a 1gen protege to race it in local events, I need the link because I would like to have a KL conversion done to my next car.

I also need to know the weight of a Kl compared to the weight of the stock engine.

Sorry guys, I though I was in the "general" forum but it's looks like there is no more general.:confused:

I cannot give you any numbers about weight, but I've seen Tracer with KL, and it looked like elephant was sitting on the hood-front suspension was struggling with extra weight.
KL will definetely make car faster, but weight distribution will be screwed up-not a good thing for autox. Get BP turbo instead.
A-Spec should be able to turbocharge stock 1.8 DOHC from 1 st gen.

As far as the weight, i understand that the KL actually weighs a liitle LESS than the BP! I know there's a thread about this....

VERY NIIICE! :bt:

and here's the 'KL weight' thread i was thinking of:

http://www.protegeclub.com/forum/sho...&threadid=5214

and Mike....actually, the SOHC has a 'weaker' tranny than the DOHC, but i can't really think of a 'problem' using it if all you're doing is putting on the DOHC head, etc...if you go turbo, however; then yes, you'd want the DOHC tranny.

Thanks protejay.:)

In the thread PseudoRealityX says that the engine is lighter than the BP, I know PseudoRealityX knows alot about proteges but why would shops but a PGT/MX6 suspensions if the KL is lighter???

I really need some numbers!!!
