    93 lx

    I'm going to start a work log thread so I can post all my useless information.
    And since I'm gathering parts for my turbo, this thread will ultimately be worthy.

    So... 1993 Protege LX with 53,000 miles as I bought it...

      I went to the junkyard and got a new A/C switch (the old one was scratched up), white pull handles for the trunk and fuel cover (to replace the yellow ones), a front emblem, two door switches, and a stock radio.

      I replaced the radio and all of the speakers started working and now I have working buttons and tape player.

      I also replaced the emblems he painted black with other emblems (I have a ton). I put a metallic Protege/323 emblem on.

        Got an ultra-rare SILVER topped A code vaf. [emoji6] The silver topped A codes have a 12% better flow than the black A codes.

        Ring terminals arrived for redoing some grounding, shifter bushings are here, and fuel pump should be here this afternoon [emoji33]

        Accidentally bought 460cc injectors off eBay by making an offer that was accepted [emoji13]



        Not much left to buy

                McMaster Carr "shifter bushings" installed and they are amazing. I was missing one bushing, so this made a world of difference.

                Got some grounding wires added.

                Went ahead and installed my 255lph fuel pump too.

                I need to hurry up and finish buying everything!

                        The problem I've found with such low miles is that a lot of maintenance things haven't been done yet. I think I pulled the original spark plugs out.

                        It actually has a cheap paint job over the original tropical emerald metallic that is MORE tropical emerald metallic than before. It's nasty.... but I think I'll get the last laugh [emoji4]

                          So I believe my only big parts left are:
                          Intercooler and piping
                          Bov
                          Turbo timer
                          Wideband o2
                          Gauges

                          For the intercooler piping, I'm trying to figure out where and what I need to tap off of it. I'm planning on a silicone coupler for the BOV. Where do I want to tie in the wastegate actuator? Anything else to tap off for?
