^ does that actually help out the stock header design alot?? thats the first i've seen such a mod.

[cd96rs]

the stock desing is way to small about 15/8 of an inch, has that bottle neck effect. from my research a lot of the headers out there are about 21/2 inches. a header cost a bit more than 200.00 dollars, i did this one for about 40.00. also there is more to it, i ported the humps (welds) inside the runners to make them smooth and run a weld seem on the out side to reinforce them.inside the collector i did the same thing to have a smoth path.

[cd96rs]

also you have to remember that if you increase incoming air and fuel you have to take care of the expend gases.but friend i know you know that. by the way how is your project coming?

[Mazda_Powered]

yep that's what I was talking about seems like a win win situation to me.

[Taylourmade]

Those are great pictures! I'd love to rip into mine and fab something simalar up. I have a bud who is good with that stuff, I'm gunna talk to him about it.

He also has 2 f2t's sitting in his garage collecting dust, I'd love to boost it with one of those turbos...

[cd96rs]

[cd96rs]

mr taylourmade i have a lot more things like, innovative itune and air fuel gauge, walbro fuel pump, bigger injectors eibach lowering spring and a bunch of other stuff. so far this place have give me a lot of info,also i have deal with some of the guy buying parts from them so just to tell you that this is the best place i have found all around. if you have a problem just ask and this guys will help. i have a lot of part numbers that cross over to our kias so if you need help let me know.

[Taylourmade]

Nice, I'm curious to how I'd tune my kia if I boost it, and what supporting mods id need in the fuel supply region.

I think I wanna do a full protege brake conversion and get some used coil overs. But I'd also like to do the bushings while I'm at it

[cd96rs]

check the kia ls has rear disc brakes, go to rockauto.com so you can do a comparison(sorry for all the misspelling)on the subject of going boosted some of the guys can answer that, im going n/a for now so i can work all the bugs out. for me is much simpler working from the bottom up. i want everything to be set first like exhaust and fuel and such things then will be a lot easer to cross over. i dont want to start with the mess so early.

[Taylourmade]

i dont like the design for the rear sephia disc brakes. thats why i want a protege rear set up at least. if not the full.

[Mazda_Powered]

If you're wanting to go boost, then I'd personally save for a MegaSquirt system, there's NUMEROUS people on this forum running all the different version of MegaSquirt; Ms1, Ms2, Ms3.

You can get it running on the n/a setup and then start piecing together your manifold/turbo/wastegate/injectors/fmic setup

Other wise you'd have to convert your Kia engine management over to the 90-94 Protege/91-95 Escort GT/Tracer LTS since your Kia uses a different setup for running the BP turbo ECUs (GTX or GTR)

mazdapowered ir right. our cars use obd2 and they are using obd1 2 different animals. but those are my plans tune with aftermarket ecm n/a before i cross over to the dark side of the force.taylourmade becareful with the rear brakes because our cars use mazda left overparts. korea did not build to many parts by there own desing.
