There's not many engine mods you can do to a protege besides I/H/E, or a turbo swap.

what about cams/ pistons/ flywheel/ clutch/ intake manifold/injectors /pulleys etc..... oh btw i got a little stereo to

There have been a few people trying to build 3rd gen motors. But most people are just bolting on the usual. I haven't seen any of those people posting over here yet.

I will be building up my motor. First mods will be I/H/E of course, Injen CAI, Racingbeat CatBack, dunno what headers. Then I know someone who will port/polish my head. Then I'm gonna get some custom cams made, then upgrade the pistons/rods. Mucho $$ but well worth the power output, then after that I may throw on a turbo and run way more than if it were just bolted on to a stock motor. :D

[THEGOLDPRO]

yeah unless you want to spend tons of money, its pretty much basic bolt ons.

hrm...maybe some of us don't feel like crowding our sig with every single camshaft, injector, cam gear, blow-off valve, fuel management option that we have. I could go on...

[Topher]

my mods:

injen intake, j-spec cams, UR underdrive pulley, eibach springs, short-throw, mazdaspeed axel back, 1.8L ignition coil (larger coils), 1.8L plug wires, '02 626 valve cover (my engine looks like the FS-ZE), denso iridium plugs...

next mods: j-spec high compression pistons, j-spec intake manifold, header (racingmazda)

you can find most of this stuff at www.corksport.com

i was planning on going with the HiBoost turbo...but my wife wants to get herself a mazdaspeed...so i'll have to save up some other time.

There is actually alot of things you can do to build your motor besides turbo or nos. Start with the normal I/H/E then you can get the J-spec cams they are said to increase power by about 12hp, Tripoint engineering makes adjustable cam gears. Then you could try the mazdaspeed high compression pistons I think they are 10.7:1. There is a company called Thomas Knight turbo he makes a stoker kit to a 2.2 liter I don't know how much or what compression he offers it in but it is worth checking it out. You can also get a lightened fly wheel from indigo or fidanza and clutchmasters and ACT offer clutches to.

No, its not worth checking out. Knight products are WORTHLESS

Our motors are already stroked.

But this kit bumps it up to a 2.2 liter

You could probably do the same with a crank from an F2. And it would be a better product than ANYTHING that came from Tom/Thomas/Jeff/Geoff Knight
