Mazda Protege rear AWR Mount + 626 Intake Manifold
Posted by JP Parts Intl on
Hey guys, I just wanted to post a quick update on the progress of my build so far. I’ve collected a quite a collection of parts and made a pretty massive to-do list to get the car ready for summer. I’ve been wrenching almost everyday for the past two weeks and parts delivery/obstacles along the way have kept me from completing the project. In all I’ve made some great progress so far… First was installing new BKR7E spark plugs and Magnecor plug wires.. Then I started removing my intake manifold to swap out the rear motor mount. Removal of the...

Fuel Delivery Troubleshooting – How to Change 2.0L Protege Fuel Pump
Posted by JP Parts Intl on

In Dec I topped it off with winter gas and added fuel stabilizer to the tank. I’m trying to start the car now and it cranks but no start condition is present. I’ve redone my haltech wiring, checked for spark(its there), and listened to the fuel pump with a stethoscope (I can hear the motor or w.e starting in the fuel sending unit while cranking), checked voltage on all inj wires (11.6v -11.8v on...
Plans & Projects for Summer 2015
Posted by JP Parts Intl on
Since the beginning of this long winter I’ve been planning and collecting parts to make the build more efficient and track ready for summer 2015. Below are some of the parts I’ve collected in the past 5 months which will be installed hopefully in the next month or so depending on weather conditions.. The main focus for the Redarrow project in 2015 will be optimizing the (oil/Water) cooling systems and weight reduction. I believe by optimizing the engine’s cooling system along side the oil cooling system will drastically increase my engine’s efficiency. Hopefully this theory will hold in practical applications. The oil cooler...
