I clicked today, and the site worked! I was pleased. I'll fill you in on what's happened thus far since I've been gone. I finished my 12 hellacious hours of summer classes with a 4.0 and reach the pinnacle of my homosexuality tomorrow: I'm picking up a Mazda Miata. But do not fear, it comes with a Garret T25 and a turbo manifold, so hopefully by the end of August I'll be pushing 230 whp in a 2000 lb car.
GNAR BRO!!!!!!!!!! Post videos when you get that thing
I'll have pics tomorrow of the car itself. My goal is to run it on about 10-12 psi until I destroy the engine, then either rebuild with forged shit, drop in a 13b rotary, or spend a shit ton and drop in an LS-1 or 5.0.
The truck engine? Possibly. The problem you get into when swapping in anything like that (or the LS-1, etc) is how much you have to change. You have to do major work to the front suspension to support the weight of the new motor, actually modify the subframe, new tranny, driveshaft, etc. Plus I can't even imagine the monumental bitch the wiring would be.

Re: O Hai...
Quick note. Many of us use a bookmark or favorite directly to the forum http://maplifiers.net/forum but if the site is having issues I redirect to a backup site and you can link to that from the splash page (Snaxies wonderful artwork on http://maplifiers.net) or if you would rather be prepared if this site is down another site I run has our backup and is http://doggybagonline.com/maps I will not let this site be down for 12 hours or more, I'm usually on and checking it all day (I have that type of job) so if there's trouble I'm usually on top of it. WEll last week I was on vacation ... grrrrrr
Anyway I am going to copy this to an announcement, but wanted to make sure you know where to go in case of trouble.

Ya, the truck engine. Lots of guys swap in those instead of the ls1.
Think positive.

That is sick as fuck. In other news, I got new injectors put on today, the new fuel pump, and I'm going to order an intercooler this weekend.
