Are you guys meaning to tell me that protege's ****** only run in the high 16's and ****.... if thats the case i will keep my 92 jetta and run low 13's

 

is that all a pro 5 runs....i mean i'm not crackin on the protege because i just bought one... but i mean i never knew they were like that stock.... all i meant was that if that was the case is there possibilities to making it a 13 second car without using nitros or turbo......ect. Cams, header, intake...will that all do?

 

Right, your '92 Jetta runs 13s hey? I've been spanking all kinds of Jettas in my stock Proteges, so I doubt that without some heavy mods you would run 13s.....

No diss intended

BTW, don't most cars run 16s and 15s stock?

 

well i do have heavy mods on my jetta i.e. cams, header, pully, cat back exhaust, piston rods, intake, borded out.....and a bunch of other little ****..... the whole reason for me to buy a pro 5 was to not have to spend the money like i did on my jetta relacing the interior parts of the engine...figured possibly cams headers intake would be sufficient to run those numbers concidering the technology of new cars now of days

 

its a 1.8L 4 cylynder engine but with all those mods in them....yeah i guess you are right....maybe i'll buy a turbo kit... they make them for the pro 5

 

Yeah they do!

 

sweet how much we talking for one of those turbos, what companies make them?

 

I can't believe that anyone with a car with extensive modifications didn't do research before they bought another car to modify. I knew when I bought my PRO5 that it wasn't a rocket, however I still bought it cuz its different and very utilitarian. You should still do all the stuff you did to your jetta to the new pro5.

 

BUT THE NEW PRO5 DOES NOT HAVE THE ALL THE MODS LIKE I DID TO THE JETTA.. PLUS I JUST DRIVE THE CAR AND BUY THE STUFF I DO NOT DO IT ALL MYSELF...I READ ABOUT IT AND FIND THE BEST MODS AND BUY THEM...THEN PAY FOR THEM TO BE PUT IN..ITS JUST A HOBBY RACING MY CAR....THE PRO5 DOES NOT HAVE ALL THOSE MODS...SO ITS KINDA UPSETTING TO ME BUYING THE CAR IF THE MODS ARE NOT OUT THERE TO MAKE IT FASTER.. I WAS THINKING TURBO BUT THE ONLY ONE THEY HAS RUNS 6 LBS OF BOOST AND THATS NOTHING...

 

You sir, are a retard.

 

yeah ok maybe you are right it is better to search things then whine.. sorry bout that i was just all gun ho about getting this car and thought everything was just standing there waiting for it to be moddified.. so maybe you are right i will do some research on it maybe i could be pulling a nice quick car after all..

 

Bethlehem, eh? I'm from PA myself (Williamsport right now). Congratulations on your P5, they are sweet cars. Let us know how your project comes along.

 

Continue reading through the forums. You will discover that with a Stroker Kit you'll be able to pull of at least 18 PSI through a 2.0 Pro engine. And that's not too shabby.

But you should already know this **** according to what you've done on the VW.
