Heyo,

I picked up a 94 base completely stock in 2014 and have spent a great deal of time reading through the forum and basing my decisions for modifications from what I've read here. It now has an FM no-electronics kit running DIY PNP with a decent street tune thanks to my buddy on here thommorud with his turbo exocet & similar setup. Looking to become more involved in the forum and learn more about tuning the car myself.

Here are a few photos of my car

Right when I got it, having my kids do the dirty work...


What it looks like now


Older pic but here is the engine. Have since done an M-Tuned reroute, Magnacors and I'm currently putting in a Supermiata crossflow rad

Thanks! I got really lucky finding my car. Not easy finding a completely stock 94 with 37k...

HP - It has some, I'm guessing around the 180-190 whp range via butt dyno, it's conservative with timing and only WG pressure for now. Hopefully I will be bringing it somewhere to have it dyno tuned this year.
Injectors - I bought the GT500 610cc injector kit from ebay with caps and spacers, very happy with the quality of the kit.
I love the FM kit, the install was very straight forward and only took me a couple days to install.

It's the M-Tuned reroute. Have ratcheting wrenches when installing, I forgot to grab mine when I installed and spent 45 minutes with open end wrenches trying to fit the hose fitting to the housing on the back of the head.
