Default My new project. Its a weird one.

So I figured I was done with Hondas and going fast and what not. So I sold my civic and then the integra. Now I have a 1993 Mazda Protege from my gf's dad. Its a 1.8 DOHC 5 spd. Well I did some calling today and apparantly they take to boost kinda well. One guy is running high 12's with no internals. Nice. Here is my only drawback that I have found. The only Turbo manifold is from a 323 GTX or something like that. It only supports the IHI-Vj20 turbo. Anyone know of any other turbos I could fit on there? Wiseco makes forged pistons for this car and I am ordering a ACT clutch for it next week. Now some of you may say BAH, why do you want to turbo some econo-box. But everyone here is into turboing econo-boxes. I'm just doing it on a different platform. If anyone knows of anyone who could make a custom turbo manifold for say t3/t4, or a td04, or something more readily available, PLEASE leave em their contact info.


Thanks.

You can probably make a flange that adapts the ihi to t3.

thats what i was thinking too.

also it looks like it has a divided flange. you could keep that but if you choose a t3 or t4 it will be pointless if your turbo doesnt have a divided exhuast housing.

yeah. thats why i was wondering if there was anyone on here that made custom turbo manifold. the t3 flange is rectangular while that one is square. I could try and make one but it'll be difficult.

First off why not just use an IHI. They rival GARRETT in quality.

Secondly if you're scammed I'd listen and leave.
