Built Engine planning. Got any suggestions?

It also looks like the Delicious tuning kit changes the map as it reads the E85 too so I can get that part done now.

As for turbo versus supercharger, I'm having a harder time picking between the two. So it seems that right now E85 with 10.5:1 compression is okay for turbo. But will be harder for a supercharger to manage. One part of me wants to turbo and go for it because those engine bays look awesome and the ability to go higher boost for more power down the road is a plus. I'll check some more literature out to see if I can understand this more. Being in California, I have no idea how turbos affect emissions and I know the Edelbrock has a map I can use to pass!

Either way, looks like I'm gonna have a fun road trip when I get this build together!

Yeah, passing emissions in California will be difficult with any turbo kit besides the WORKS kit. To be honest, I'm not quite sure what everyone else does over there to pass; try asking in your local forum or Facebook group for other opinions as I'm sure there are thousands of CARB violating turbocharged twins driving around California.

I always like to support the venders that are here on the forum supporting it.
I would talk to Neal at "The Racers Line". He supports this forum, actively races his 86, can do and supply anything you need, and is close to you.

Can you explain this?

New cars don't have to be tested for the first several years. It varies by state, and I think it's 6 years in CA (metro areas may be more strict, but I'm not sure about that).

Since you'll be tracking this car, you should come out to our 86DRIVE Challenge events. At minimum, you can checkout some of the cars... we have everything from NA, FI, to engine swaps. Maybe you'll even decide to stay NA

mkivsoopra - I hit you guys up on FB. Will try and schedule it in. Was gonna try and hit Laguna on the 30th of this month with NCRC but I don't think I can.

People don't know this, but not everywhere in Cali has annoying smog laws. The bad laws are where geography and population density conspire to produce smog at ground level. Where I live no smog checks are required ever

Have you done anymore on this? I want to do this to my car but for now I'm living vicariously through you.
