1.6

and I thought I was the only sucker running a '99 1.6L pro, an automatic at that, but you have to love it, but I love the turbo info I just found on this thread, already contacted wagner, hopfully ill have it installed by summer.

Did Andy give you a price? Because I was curious of what the actual cost will be. $1700 sounds a bit low when I know that Witchdoktor paid $2500 used for his.

Not alone there buddy

Yes, there are cams available, but I don't think it'll be worth the price and hassle to ship them over here. They come from the 1.5l jdm motor that has SVT (sequential valve timing) with slightly more aggressive cams and will only give you about 5hp-7hp. I doubt more than that, but we still haven't had anyone officially test them with the 1.6l motor yet. So until then, it's only accurate predictions and theories.

Is there a company that produces internals for the 1.6 that will raise compression or lower it? I can't remember what was better for turbo, i believe it's lower compression. or should I just buy the turbo throw on a intercooler and call it good? Wanting a turbo without hurting the integerty of the engine.

where did yall get the intake for the 1.6L?

[NegatiZE]

www.protege5online.com is where I got mine
www.adventon.com sells them too

[Brad]

do the 1.8L intakes fit the 1.6? without modification?

[NegatiZE]

No, they use a different MAF design.

i got my from Injen... it's awesome but for some reason when i race someone becuase the Cold air is more for top end my car seems to bog down and then pick up after a few seconds... i just i need more bottom end to accually get some where. i may be way off but thats what i believe. if anyone can relate or tell me something different that would be great.. i really wish i knew why that happens. ofcourse it's probably becuase sometimes i'm a crappy driver

i got my intake for the 1.6 a week ago and everytime i hit around 3-4k rpms when im doing about 70 it kinda "shudders" it does it at lower speeds too. I dont know if that is what your talking about but if anyone knows whats up with that let me know.

ok... i'm gonna give you all a few tips on the injen cai for the 1.6l being i was one of the first to own one before they even hit speed shops. anyway... first issue with the intake, is the filter. it sucks... it lets too much air in. second, next time you're out there, take a spray bottle with water... spray a bit around the MAF sensor where it should contact with the pipe. i bet it sucks the water in like it did on mine. so, this issue would be, vacuum leak. third, the MAF sensor gets really dirty because of the air being let in through the ****ty filter. so, dirty sensors. filter, isn't too big of an issue. the main issues are the vacuum leak and the dirty maf. what i did to fix the vacuum leak was go to my local bike shop, ask for a used bike tire, cut it open, clean it out, make a stencil of the maf opening, with a piece of paper, and cut out a seal for the maf so it doesnt leak air in. and, clean the damn maf. ;D that was long, but oh well. i have no hesitation anymore.

this is something i posted a long time ago on the other board... hopefully it helps you, it has helped a lot of other people. and when i say spray the maf with water.. i mean spray just a tiny bit *around* the edges, not directly on top of it, and just a little bit, enough to notice if the water is dissapearing.

Hay guys if you'd like to see my Wagner Motorsports turbo setups go to my signature and click the links to view my last two kits. My last kit was sold to Danny aka Whitchdoctor. That kit had 25,000 miles on with Zero problems.

Well I just got my email returned by Andy Wagner. He said that the 1.6L turbo from a 1st gen Eclipse would be $3650 installed. That price includes a custom intercooler. Too bad I won't have that kind of cash for a while. The goal is to have another car by the time I finish college so I can keep the pro and turbo it.
