Took a look at the secondary butterfly sticky again ( thank whoever wrote that, you are great) and I've decided to go the Volvo cruise control route for simplicity. Looking for my digital camera so I can take some pics, so bear with me. This car has been looked at by a bunch of folks and worked on by some quality mechanics, and later some NOT so quality guy, and then after a very quality guy again with not a lot of time. So I've been left to my limited mechanical devices and knowledge, this forum, you tube, and a strong desire to finish. I appreciate the info you guys have put out and guided me to on this post. I will try not to mess this up, as I need to buy my standalone asap and tune this thing. Looks like Haltech will suit the need.
Some info on my formerly crashed and now resurrected from a rolling shell beauty: CA18det swap (done by the great guys at UP Garage in Washington, I bumped heads with my mechanic there over a misunderstanding but Doug is by far one of the best mechanics I've seen or dealt with and I truly miss his knowledge and frankness) Carrillo rods, wiseco pistons, arp studs, metal hg, tomei valves/retainers/ springs/ lifters, GT2871R turbo, SS autocrap manifold, hi flow cat, tanabe exhaust, fmic, aluminum radiator, tomei fpr, s15 lsd, tanabe sustec pro sport coilovers, clutchmasters hd clutch and lightweight flywheel, current apexi avcr, safc 2, moving to standalone. Engine was rebuilt with forged internals and should make some decent power. It's my daily driver turning into daily monster.
