    1.8 Sohc 4wd

    Hey whats up.My name Cruz I've been a member for a couple of months but internet was down and getting more involved.

    I own a 1990 Mazda Protege 1.8 SOHC 4WD, Yeah another 4Wd. i tought i something rare but looks of it there a few out there. Which is good because i need help on what mods to do. Never knew how much you can do with this car...I live in Chicago and it's all about Hondas,Acuras.. i know because i was a owner of a 1990 Prelude ALB SI 2.0,Which was a awesome car and FAST .
    A friend of mine from Church had this sitting for about 5 Years.. .And gave it to me for free.... .
    the car was not running, when i finally got it home didn't run.

    List on what I did just to get it too run..

    Gas Tank
    Fuel Pumps (Both)
    BLEW fuel lines and replaced hoses.
    Both front Axles
    tune up
    Back brakes
    1 caliper
    front wheel bearing,And the other is going bad..
    Clutch was alright,But when I sold honda bought a new one.
    Radiator
    And still needs a few more things,but other then that it's running GOOD.

    So glad to be here...

          Nice! Welcome to CP. Very straight car you've got there.
          No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

            Welcome to Club Protege, Cruz.

            Congrats on the rare 4WD. It looks a lot cleaner and rust free than most!

            There is so much potential for that car, it isn't even funny. You can easily make it a AWD turbo monster sleeper that will eat most cars up alive.

            There are a few guys on here with nice AWD builds. Look around for what I'm talking about.

            Good luck!

              Theres a couple of things that I was wondering. What air flow meter would work for car 1.8 SOHC,I bought one from a local u-pull,from a frod probe because the hole was bigger and installed it and work Bogged the Pro..So I disconnected the negative post from battery and put reconnected it and work alittle better but wasn't right still.

              Can I get some help that...

                An S-code VAF works best, the VAF that belongs on your engine.

                Honestly, trying to mod your SOHC engine is a waste of time. It can and has been done before. I don't want to discourage you. It just isn't the most efficient and cost effective choice for you.

                A BP swap (DOHC) would be a good start, if not jumping right into an all out GTX/GTR swap/build.

                        you can probably still beat those prices... the hardest problem it seems is finding someone with the engine in stock

                              Just start saving and keeping an eye out.

                              You'll come upon a good deal.
