Hey all. I need a little positivity before ordering some stuff.
I blew my head gasket a little over a year ago, so instead of fighting with the current motor I went out and bought one from the junk yard. Running when removed. Here is the list I wanna put on it. I want this done quickly, so here it goes. After reading through the site for weeks here's what I came up with.
1) Intercooler
2) Cooler plugs. NGK TR6?
3) Cooler thermostat. 160*?
4) 1.9 rockers w/valve springs
5) 3.25 pulley (interchangable). i was told 3.1 would work with this setup, but not real sure.
6) headers, downpipe...
7) CAI
8) ? bigger injectors ? 42.5#
9) A little port/ polish intake and S/C
10) A tune
I don't want to tear the whole engine down, but I do want a little bit balls when I put it back in. I'm trying to keep it simple, reliable and fun.
Any suggestions to what I have planned is welcomed!!
