Here we are in a new year 2006 to be exact. A new year calls for change and so I have. I have changed from the 1G DSM. A fine car that it was in it's six years of Graves service. I chose to trade the ole'girl for a 2G.
Now this 2G is a great car. It has sleek body lines and more options. I can see everything that I have ever wanted in a DSM when I look at this 2G. I have only dreamed of owning one of these. Now the day has come that I do. I have done some hard soul searching trying to decide what to do with the motor. I have priced many different rebuild kits, rebuilt motors, short blocks, long blocks, you get the idea. And none could stay within my budget. As most of you know I started a project called "Fireball"! Well guess where the donor heart is going to come from. I saved myself alot of money making this decision. Here is a list of the thing that I am purchasing for this new project of mine. I am probably forgetting something.
I am open to comments on what I have decided to do. I have strong shoulders, give it to me. I honestly think I have a reasonable setup for what I was looking for in the beginning. Thanks for taking the time to read this long boring thread! This post has been edited by BudmannG: Feb 8 2006, 02:21 PM -------------------- Thanks, Bud!

When you start running big boost and large airflow, you'll run into the upper limits of the 2G and especially 1G MAFs metering ability.
