Hey,
I just bought a 3rd gen ZM-DE 1.6l protege. good car... lacks power... especially when moving into it from a BPT escort...
anyhow, I've been reading up. At first I was just interested in getting some VICS with the euro-spec ZM intake mani and an RPM switch... but that just won't cut it.
what I really want is to change the head for the ZL-VE 1.5l with VVT. www.protegefaq.net says it's a direct bolt on swap, but that I'll need to figure out how to control the VVT solenoid. bummer... they give no indications. just say to ask the miata guys... been there done that, maybe not on the right boards, I dunno, but no answers for me.
Has anyone here gone that way before? or has anyone done research on it and figured out how to do it?
thanks,
Etienne
