welcome to club protege.
this is a great resourse section you can read.
basically you need the engine,tranni,ecu and wiring harness. you'll also need the axles from a lx. there might be more but thats about all i can think of.
vics is inside the intake manni. its a set of 4 butterflies that open to increase airflow. it kinda has that vtec feel.
good luck. have your friend join clubprotege. he will be addicted to his car if he does. hell you might become addicted yourself. let us know how it goes.1993 Protege LX-Midnight's shadow SOLD

The BP(DOHC) is an awesome platform, and meant to be turboed. Proteges are great cars, very reliable, and very fun. You won't be disappointed.
