Just another new guy chiming in…a gumshoe to all this stuff. I just want to remain modest and bump my MP5 up about 50hp WITHOUT going turbo and blowing up my engion. Any sound suggestions? Probably start with a Cold Air Intake and a Cat Back Exhaust. But then what? That will only give you about 20-30 hp, right?

Dude, you're going to need alot more than an intake and exhaust to get that much power. If you want quick horsepower use nitrous.
You'll be lucky to get 15 hp with an intake, headers and full exhaust.Ryan The middle child is always ignored

What the **** is wrong with nitrous??
If you use common sense you'll have no problems with it.
Are you implying that guy has no common sense??Ryan The middle child is always ignored

I'm sure you're not, but without going turbo, you'd need quite a bit of money to get an extra 50 hp or so what you were looking for.
Nitrous would be the cheapest way to do so. If you don't want nitrous thats cool, and understandable, its not for everybody.Ryan The middle child is always ignored

header (8-10)
exhaust (8-9)
CAI(3-4)
MSP camshaft (3-5)
that'll give you about 25-30hp (depending on tuning)
I'm stuck with my ATx, so i'm going to go NA... boost the **** out of an RX7 if i can afford one.
better spark plugs will help the sensitivity (long reach vs. normal).. but probably won't increase hp...

i personally have never seen any 3rd generation protege safely run nitrous with any level of proper preparation or safety measure or added fuel measures. every single pro owner I've known who has used nitrous has blown thier engine.
we sell header, exhaust, intake, pulleys, clutches, flywheels, springs and struts among other things for the Protege at our store site.

meh... i'm a comp tech... my speciality is computers.. not cars.
like i said.. i figured it was j-spec or msp... i know the msp is the same + turbo.. but when you read enough posts where people say msp cams... one begins to doubt himself.
