I'm wondering where some of the people who have the intake has the screw set at. Either completely up (open) or completely down (closed) or in between. Well Let me know when you guys got a chance.
You DON'T have a screw on your intake manifold to control the air fuel mixture.

Well then man, on the intake manifold there is a screw that controls something What i think maybe that controls the flow of the intake.

I talked to a friend earlier and he told me
to just buy a muffler of my liking and replace the pipe from
the header to the catalytic c. with a 2" pipe and the same
with the pipe from the converter to the new muffler.

he says it can raise my hp from anywhere to 7-10 hp.

is this true? he's had many tuned cars before.
he had a honda accord that ran 10's. pretty cool.

he also told me about that resistor that goes into the
manifold that tells the computer that a constant flow
of cold air is coming in.

he said before he had put it in his 92 accord, he couldnt churp
the tires going into 3rd gear. but after he put it in he could.
he also said it knocked i think a second or two off his quarter
of a mile run.

It won't give you much, if anything. It will make the computer add a bit more fuel, but the normal settings are pretty rich already, so I don't think you'll get anything at all in a Protege.

And in a Honda, you might gain a tenth in the 1/4 mile, but I can tell you right now that it won't knock of a second or two off a 1/4 mile run. Not even a full ECU.


As for the exhaust giving 7-10hp. I doubt 10. I could maybe believe the 7, but I'm not too convinced, without a header.

o, im sorry. my fault.
it knocked a sec off with the intake and the resistor.

o by the way, over in the apartments where he lives,
there's nothing but mexicans that live there. [nothing against mexicans]
Every car there that is owned by one is hooked up
in some sort of way. There's a old lady there that does
all the body work for them. She custom made special
kits and everything! I'll try to take some pics soon
so that yall can see this shit. They painted a 95 mitsu
eclipse orange, the WHOLE THING! even the muffler.:rolleyes:

we got 1.6 engines here where i am in both autos and manuals
also we have awd versions all are 2nd gens

UCSBgeek July-14th-2003 09:49 PM

All motors on all proteges in the U.S. have come with the option of either manual or (for more money) automatic. It might not be true with some of the ES-GT canadian models but I suspect it is.

protegeboy78 July-14th-2003 10:13 PM

i wish we had awd versions.... that would rock

toucci July-14th-2003 10:23 PM
