There is no way our cars can beat an Rx7 on the track.

Not all rx's are 3rd gen TT's.

hey everybody, the mazdaspeed protege has the same exact engine as our I4 there is only one difference, the exhaust cam won't support our distributor since the protege uses coil packs... so everything internal u can swap into our I4 and the turbo kit off the protege will bolt right on with space to spare which can lead to us being able to use any mod they have for the 2.0 protege and mazdaspeed version. i have a I4 and my buddy has a mazdaspeed protege and we have been comparing the stuff. i knew our I4 had potential and this is just the boost we 4 banger nuts were needin

just buy a K&N square filter and put it in ur stock airbox.

You get worse efficiency because the CAI induction noise sounds cool, so we're always dogging the throttle

. I actually noticed an increase in gas mileage, nothing tremendous, but a definite difference from that restrictive stock intake. I guess everyone's experiences are different

I Found a part called the Turbonator that can add 15-30 Hp, it costs only $35. It also improves your gas mileage. Has anyone here tried that? Does it really work as advertised. I believe the site is turbonator.com if you wanna check it out.
