My new project "Ghost"!, 6Bolted2G! Options

[BudmannG]

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.

• 3" exhaust from belittle
• 255 walbro lph fuel pump
• 450cc injectors poopshit!
• DSM Link
• Eprom ECU
• 2G MAFS
• Fidanza flywheel
• Sony Vaio for DSM Link
• Hallman mbc Thanks to akamiami!
• Tubular exhaust manifold Thanks to asiankid!
• Tubular O2 housing
• Lunar boost gauge
• Lunar A/F gauge
• 1G bov
• 14b poopshit!

Like I said before I did alot of soul searching on this setup and it was and is in my budget. So now all that is left is getting it put together. That should start some time in the next week. I have the engine here and ready to pull. I just have to wait for the check to come in, LOL. Taxes, anticipation is KILLING me.

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!

Honestly, it depends on what you believe in. I'm a man of physics (or I like to think so). There is a spark plug wire thread in DSMTuners that illustrates an independent test of different wires by one of the members. The conclusion? MSD offers the best wire in terms of the least resistance, followed by Accel's high end wires(which are the ones that I have, $70 wires). Magnacore was one of the worst, but it had one of the best radio suppression ratings. Radio suppression keeps the electronics in your car from getting fried by the radio frequency spark energy produces (this is how I understand it) but with good suppression comes a price, which is resistance. The lower the resistance, the more spark energy the wire can transmit.
