Title: Build list
Post by: scoop on March 24, 2008, 10:13:02 pm

Howdy All

I've been eves dropping on this site for a month or so now. I've got my 1.6n/a at the machine shop right now and need to start compiling all the goodies to make it powerful and reliable. This will be going into a Samurai as a 98%daily driver, 2% off roader.  I work in construction and drive 50-150 miles per day routinely. I'm about to send my pump off to Giles for the +20HP rebuild for pulling the hills around here and I'm too cheap to go for the full turbo upgrade. I'll be using ARP head bolts, a remote oil filter and oil cooler and hopefully 100% bio-diesel. I've got all the parts I need for the processor, just need to assemble it. My question is, as I begin this build what other must haves can you guys think of? I'm willing to put the money forward for excellent "must have" stuff, yet be somewhat budget minded at the same time. The shop also informed me today that I will be needing bigger pistons. And yes I have read the FAQ on more power from your n/a. How does that saying go? Economy, power, reliability........pick two?  Thank you all for your time.
