what did you do to your non-Protege today?

Ride in a respectfully built mazda, being all engine or turbo, tuned, and come back tell me you feel the same. Anyone can put a B16 head on to a B18 block (Poor mans gsr) and make it "quick".... or simply swap an engine. nice car i think though. No offense, looks clean as hell though and if i may ask why the wide rims??? What does that car have under the hood?? is it just the b16? which one?

Woah calm down guys lol, i know im comparing apples to oranges lol. Just saying what its like compared to my gt. ive had a boosted b6 in my miata for a few years and handed it to quite a few b series hondas haha. The car just has a b16a2 with intake/exh. I dont need the "omg stretched tires u will die a flaming death!" Lol.

stock b16=10:1 compression with seriously more aggressive cams then the BP

drive a 10:1 BP sometime & you'll have more appreciation for how much compression ratio really effects these BP's

BTW stretched tires= good luck homie. ride low & slow or have fun breaking the bead.

Driven a few 10:1 BPs. I'll take a B16 any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

High compression BPs are great.... for making you detonation limited.

**** a BP.

Picked up this **** on Saturday:

laughing so hard at the downpipe/wg dump right now

that is fantastic

It's weird not being able to see that well out that side of the windshield due to soot deposits and the heat wave distortion.

Needs a tractor flapper.

[concealer404]

No really... it does. Moron kid didn't have one on it, so when it rained, water pooled in the pipe and ****. I'm told it would spew nice fountains after a rain.


This whole setup is going away, though. Going to get my spare Grand National + custom manifold + Tial 38 setup on about... 25psi. Exhaust will dump out bumper same way as the red car.

Yeah considering the B16 has VTEC, it will take more then high compression to equal the 150 or so OE HP let alone with bolt-ons. I am sure the BP has more torque, but what fun is that?

I don't even really like B16s. I think they're about as worthless as Honda motors get. They're only "good" under boost.

Give me a B18B to start with, and i'll deliver a 1.8 motor that makes 210-220whp n/a without even really trying.



Here's the thing about the BP to me: It's only good because of the cars it gets put in. It's an entirely mediocre motor in every other possible way. Do i hate it? No. It serves its purpose and does it quite well. Would i ever put one in a car it didn't come in? Hell no. (Not speaking to your LX-GT, mind you... that's different. )

[KAinjection]

LX- to GT is like going from SOHC D engine to a B VTEC haha.
Bottom line is BP is great for boost, but not for N/A, which is why I am playing around with it for a while to experiment, and since I want to stay N/A the BP will be leaving for something more suited to N/A power.

P.S.--dont tell my secret engine swap Ben

[concealer404]

I wouldn't even go so far to say the BP is great for boost. It's CHEAP to boost, but it's still pretty mediocre under boost.

And your secret is safe with me.

[atomicEGT]

my BP is pretty ****ing great and I want to put it in my ****box Nissan because of reasons.

[concealer404]

You just gave me some feels that i never asked for.

[atomicEGT]

also, I am curious about the "DANG" sticker on your fender
