if you dont run alot of boost and dont push the limits of the stock fuel system much, you can run GE pistons and benefit from the higher compression for offboost and low boost condidtions it will make the car much more responsive and a tad more powerful, but you have a greater chance for...

going from the top of the strut tower to the cylinder head has been popular in many other cars.

ive done moly coatings on bearings before it will only help on short bursts of less then adequate oil flow because your supposed to have oil between your bearings and the crank at all times anyways. remember with coating bearings your are actually making the tolerances smaller or tighter so you...

oil in the intake systems sounds like you should inspect your turbo see how its doing oil can get into your intake from the turbo seals or the pcv system other then that i cant think of any good areas that would produce enough to pool in your intake system.

stock pistons and stock rods will withstand your power goals, i would recommend arp rod bolts at the very least. and have your rod end's decked and recentered with new wrist pin bushings and have the main bores line bored and honed, also a polish on the crank if needed if money is not a...

curiosity killed my cat too so you weighed it yet?

you could go to an injector shop and ask to have them flow tested. i would suggest RC injectors they come with flow #'s because they rebuild and clean injectors

this analogy might help some understand the stack protruding into the plenum being bad if you had the intake manifold off the car and pointed the runners perpendicular to the ground and poured water into the throttle body water would catch around the *velocity* stacks if they protruded out into...

white smoke is usually water coming out of the tail pipe blue is generally oil burning. sounds like you may have not cured the head gasket problem. did you have the head and block machined to a very smooth surface? what head gasket did you use?

katskinz offers oem replacements in leather and vinyl and maybe some cloth options but those seats are in great shape for any decent shop ive taken seats in with zero foam and had them come back looking better then showroom condition.

well ill put it this way, what is the most important part of your engine? the one thing it cannot live without as far as bearings go no oil = you building another motor things to not cheap out on pistons, engine bearings, oil pump, water pump, head gasket, timing belt, fuel injectors, oil...
