yah, 3 inches is prolly overkill, 2.5 would be fine, and a 2.5 inch intercooler is cheeper too. as for HP goals, im looking for 250+, and yah i know it needs a bath, im striping it right now, and then ill have the block boiled, just so its clean inside and out.

To get the crank bolt out you need to get this hard to find substance that you cant get out of any store nor import it at all.


Its called: Elbow Grease

If you stick it on a motor mount thingy to hold it in place you should have to much of a problem.

Try DSM 450 injectors. They are teh cheap.

Alsoget a zex or similar cam if you can afford it. It's cheap for the gains. I'm hoping to grab an Akmee cam next winter when they re-run their holiday special (funds/progress pending).

Get a new timing belt also.

deffinatly a good thing, i would rather be reminded a hundred times, then run in to problems down the road

i was also talking to my friend at work, and he works for a company that builds and repairs fire engines, once i get it down to the block, hes gonna take it for me, steam blast it, and then an acid wash it
