I help my buddy install one of these in his 626 w/ KLZE motor. Unbelievable difference. I just emailed the comapnay asking them if they are able to do a group buy on it....

If they get back to me, is anyone interested? I am going to get one for sure, I had forgoten about this mod!

Jason, while you're at it with the intake insulators, consider boring out and port-matching your throttle body to save labour costs. I had mine done, porting it at 3.5 mm, Civic Si specs. Works perfect with a performance intake, but make sure they install a proper-sized reducer on your intake pipe as well. Perfect way to improve torque on our Proteges.

Eric, where did you get yours done? I would love to be recommended to someone you trust.....

The next time we meet, Id like you to school me on a couple things surrounding porting and polishing.

Thanks,

Jason, I had mine done at Exotic Motoring (they've moved to 14th & Markham Rd). If you're free Saturday morning, I can hook you up with Alex Ng, the owner of the shop and a good friend. I also know Ray who owns Gilman Motors, who does a lot of mods and can get pretty much everything you need.
