    Turbo 1.5

    i am happy to say that i was able to turbo charge my car
    it is a 2nd gen protege wid a Z5-DE.
    what i am not happy to say, is that it didn't last long.
    the turbo that i had was in need of a rebuild and therefore the bearings inside went. i now have to ship it out the island to get it rebuilt as i am insisting that i must use that turbo.
    i was running 10psi on stock internals with stock fuel injectors. i did however have a 1:1 rising rate FPR, which was being swapped for a catech adjustable FPR.
    i would try to get some pictures when i set it back up again.
    i am warnin u now though, it is a radical setup that has never been seen before and it will look a bit wack. but due to in efficient space it had to be done this way

    Alright. I think you would be the first to turbo Z5 engine. Definately post some pics and descriptions when you are done. I am not sure how radical your design is, but I do agree with, there is almost no room to work with in the first place.

          When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

          So his engine he goosed
          With much too much boost,
          And drove a rod through his block.

                      hey, give him time for pix. did you have someone make a custom manifold? why are you running on stock trim fuel? you do know you'll run lean right? good luck w/ it, but im still wondering about your methods. what turbo did you use?
                      i hate being broke!
