From ashes

[Trogdor]

As many of you know I blew a rod. It wasn't covered under warranty as they claimed it was a result of an over rev stored on the ACD. So, my choices were spend about 8.5 (including install) to have Mitsu install a new stock motor. Or, as I've decided, for just a little bit more I could have built 2.0.

I have things priced out, but I wanted to get some opinions on things where I had multiple options.

-Rebuild: Stock block/crank, wiseco 9 pistons, and MAP x beam from map. I can get the gaskets, oil pan, and oil pump at work for cheaper.

-Fuel: DW65 pump. FIC 1100's or MAP 1000's for injectors? Going E85.

-Exhaust: MAP Downpipe and Testpipe, with my existing Magnaflw cat-back.

-Turbo: Sheides has his BBX that he's looking to sell, that or looking to get an EF2. Your thoughts? I know the BBX will be capable of more power, but I'm really looking to cap out at 450, which is where the EF2 gets me. My concern is about what happens with long term maxing out of the EF2 vs. going with something that I won't be pushing the limits of.

-Clutch: Exedy stage 1 or ACT stage 1?

-Boost: Can someone please explain to me the big differences between and Grimmspeed MBCS and a 3 port?

Also any thoughts as a whole too would be appreciated.
