i've had ITBs on the car for 5 years now... i'm tired of doing that shit. i'm still going to be cheating after doing the initial M50TU swap... just not quite so obviously. :)

and cary, if you thought i was being serious while yelling at you about star wars... :P

OMG finally. You have given in to the fact that the m42 is the worst 4 cylinder ever made.

[kronus]

the m40 is worse

no, i haven't, i've just gotten tired of trying to sneak it through CA smog with the DBilas setup on it. every shop i take it to pops the hood, takes one look at it, and says "get the fuck out of here, we're not touching this thing."

i'm still going to try to talk oliver into putting it into his smog-exempt zooz once it's sitting loose in my new house's garage, just to piss you off :P

Yes, tell me more. I have use for engines such as this.

well, there's that, and there's also every 4-banger any american marque ever put in a car...

but come on. winkelhock won BTCC in 1993 and 1994 in a car powered by an S42. i don't remember hearing him complain about it.

i have an old build thread if you're curious. but the short version is i got a DBilas setup and tuned it with a wideband, and it was fun. i have some m42 tarbo stuff i need to unload too. stuff could be available next month, if you're itchy about it, but i'm moving, work is keeping me busy, and i'm in the middle of negotiating a re-enlistment in the army, so you might have to be patient about it.

I'm patient. If it does work out, your set up would go in the 1973 Polaris 2002. Im also not in a rush, but can do this whenever.

i'll fight you for it.


I don't need it, but it would be cool. However, I have another m42 in the shop, a few m10s, and enough parts to build a nice 2.5L s14. But yeah.

while i am tempted to say just put the s14 into yours, i'd still like to see you fight oliver.

[kronus]

this exhaust is pretty far off from fitting. argh.
