what i purchased: 1985 GN
my background: lots of tuning of OBD-I and OBD-II hondas as well as Mitsubishi Evolutions. a bit of tuning/tinkering with a a '95/351c.i. Mustang Cobra using AEM.
why i'm posting this: i have no clue WTF i'm doing with this car.
anyway.. here are the parts i plan to install. my goal is to have a custom tune. i have never trusted nor liked the mail-in tuning chips. they are only a "guestimate" and, as such, have to be very conservative to a point of sometimes running pig rich. yes, i realize nearly every common combination of builds has been done.. but still. nothing like a complete, personal tune. i figure with it, i can make safe power, pass smog, and enjoy a long, healthy life with my GN. LOL
parts:
complete '87 change-over. my block and heads are supposedly all refreshed, but i will be swapping everything else from the air filter to the crossover pipe. intake/turbo/exh manifolds/etc. you name it. '87 ecu and harness. the works.
(edited per board member recommendations)
3.5" LS1 MAF
MAF Translator Pro
Casper's plug-n-play MAF harness
PLX wideband
Extender Pro chip
60# high-impedance injectors
Walbro in-tank pump with hot-wire
OEM IC with Dutt neck or perhaps a FMIC setup that i'm looking at.
NO meth
my trusty, dusty lap top.
so.. am i missing anything? from all i've read here. i think i have everything lined up and ready to go.
this is quite a bit of cash, so i want to be sure i have a complete list and nothing is redundant, before i start tossing money at my car. LOL. i'm not looking for a 10-sec car, or anything. i'd be happy with 12s or 11s, if i could.
any help would be appreciated. thanks!
