Alright well the kit came in the mail on thursday while I slept. I went straight out when my wife informed me i had a package to find it, after cleaning up my pants i tore into the package to look at the contents. After looking the kit over i put it back in the box and forgot about it....
TILL TODAY, I needed some parts from u pull it and mazda. Before i forget (it may be common knowlage already) but the miata intake maniold gasket does NOT work on the protege . So tomorrow i have to run to mazda to get the correct gasket so as to get my intake manifold bolted up.
I got home and after some sleep and a trip to the dog park (the poor pooch just doesnt have enough room to stretch at home) i got to work on the ride. In that time i tried fitting the pipe from the intercooler toward the throttle body again. Its looking like it will be a kinda tight fit but it tucked up nicer than i thought it did during the first fitting. I need to lower my intercooler and actually get the pipe bolted up.
right now im just in the fitment stage but will hopefully have the car up and running by the end of this weekend.
off topic but here is my intake manifold, and where im at...
failed attempt at intercooler mounting
and a little bov w/ A/C fitment
