Hey, this is my first post, Iv been looking around the site and looks good and the members seem helpful.
Two weeks or so ago I found what I was looking for. I was planning on building a BP Turbo Protege. Well I found a 92 Protege LX from the States with the BP in it but it was using the tranny that comes with the sohc motor. It also came with a really nice hood and a nice set of wheels but the Floors were shot and it would be more expensive to fix than to just buy another shell. Then I bought another Protege, A Canadian 1994 Protege SE with the SOHC Motor that the body has a good body but the motor is about to blow. Since I didn't have a tranny to go with the BP I went out and bought a tranny that came with the wiring harness, ECU, and he just threw in another BP cause it was taking up room and its only missing one cam. So here come the questions. How much PSI of boost can I run with out worring about the tranny and motor too much? Can I use the axels from the SOHC tranny? What else is involved in swapping over the BP into a car that origonaly came with the 1.8 sohc motor?
Anyways thanks in advance for the help
