hi i made the same mod as you and it worked very well, thank you, i also want to see if i can buy some 10m spark plug wires like yours, where can i buy them please?
I actually bought them in a Mazda Protege group on FB. I'm running a 1.8L Protege Valve cover with 1.8L coil packs and Ngk plug wires. You can probably find the valve cover at a salvage yard, or in a Fb group. The Ngk wires you should be able to find online somewhere.
The bypassing the solenoids leaving the flaps open is really only a benefit for turbo cars as far as I know. I'm not entirely sure if there's any benefit to doing it on a n.a. car.
I was trying to troubleshoot my car because it had a bad solenoid and i tried to bypass them like this to see if it is really the selenoid and it just dies after turn on
From what I've heard, if accompanied with a mp3 ecu which are fairly tough to find a n.a. protege may pick up a few hp and a little throttle response. Mainly noticable in turbo applications. It's easy to bypass/ hook back up. Worse that happens is it runs rough and you hook it back up. You only have to disconnect the main hose from that barb on the i.m., plug the barb and leave everything there if you're going to test it. Getting the lower actuator hose on and off is fairly annoying.
