  1. Okay, I just looked up IE stats - it looks like IE is down to 11% share of all browsers, so I sit corrected.
  2. Wait a minute! They are trying to keep Internet Explorer going?! Last I looked up browser use stats, IE was WAAAYYY behind Chrome and Firefox. It's been awhile since I was a full-time Web developer, but it sounded so nice that IE was down to something like 3% share. BTW, does anyone know what is the rendering engine for the new IE?
  3. According to their "speed shop" listing, the Charlotte one is all the way on the other side of the city from me (actually in the suburb on the opposite side of the city from me). Maybe I'll check it out. Thanks!
  4. Uh... I think I remember finding a page online a long time ago where a woman was making an electric Starion. I guess that's what you're talking about. I think the technology continues to take huge leaps forward though, so the S2000 project I linked is probably worlds different. I'm not trying to make anybody mad; I liked the Vortec inline 6 idea someone linked a page or so back. I do think that if I do a restoration of my Quest in another decade, there will probably be numerous kits to convert it to a high-powered electric car, though.
  5. I am donning my flame proof suit, but I think in the future (after another 10 years or so), this will be the "JZ swap" of the era - http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/975497-wait-that-isnt-an-f20c/
  6. Oh, this thread is still working..? Anyway, as an update - I bought some stock injectors from 19cturbo. I haven't had a chance to clean them yet, but I hope to soon and that should get me squared away for awhile. Starquestrescue - do you know if there is a thread for modifying the stock fuel pressure regulator? I think I have two, possibly three floating around extra.
  7. Oh, I also realize that my sig has lots of mods listed. That's how I bought the car. I bought it because it ran and the body was very, very dry. I have already returned many pieces to stock, particularly where fuel delivery are concerned. I don't see the need currently to disassemble the head or downsize the exhaust which are my two major non-stock systems remaining. I am working on lowering the boost on my 19C and will switch out the Stage 4 clutch for something much more streetable.
  8. BOHO - I think there are two different topics being talked about here - 1) Can you use aftermarket injectors on a mostly stock (stock MAS, stock ECU, stock fuel pressure regulator) setup? The answer seems to be no. That was pretty much all of my question. 2) If you ARE using aftermarket injectors, what are the best pieces to support those? Caliber308 is making some suggestions, and I think his primary concerns are price and performance. So for the least amount of money and the most amount of airflow you can use his setup. And I think that's fine. For the moment, I will be sticking with stock (stock MAS, stock ECU, stock fuel pressure regulator). I have not driven my car or worked on it that much, so I want to do stock before I dive into modifying. When I do modify mine personally, I will either go with MPI, which is a whole other can of worms, or go with a 2G Mitsu MAS and a Gen-II MAF-T because I want to have the same general setup as the 0G MAS we have, which has corrections and readings for barometric pressure and so on. From what I have read (and experienced when I first got the car), the tune will slip as the seasons change because the GM MAF does not have sensors for anything other than airflow. I will never be modifying my car for maximum power, but some combination of power, driveability, reliability and so on.
  9. Britt - I don't have the MAF-T itself anymore. It was the first gen one. The person I sold it to told me that he had an electrician friend look over it and that it was "all out of whack" and put some bits back together correctly. In any case, if you look at Frenchi's 89 build, he installed the MAF-T Gen II and it had settings such that you could use a 1G MAS and he did that with his stock MAS initially. So, I might do that next Summer and run Delphi or Lucas injectors. The MAF-T Gen II like the apexi unit has much finer grades of fuel adjustment.
  10. I had a friend who had a professional project in Amman, Jordan a few years back. After the project was over, his hosts took him to their home village to show him a good time. He got to race motorcycles in the mountain and he said they took him for a ride in a built WRX that did all kinds of donuts in the sand...
  11. I should clarify - I have one pair of stock injectors that does not leak and one pair that does leak, especially from the secondary. My problem is that I also have two Conquests and would like to sell one to focus on the one in my signature. Anyway, everyone's ideas and thoughts have been very helpful in helping me think through what I can attempt.
  12. Bill, I appreciate your coming back to the thread and adding your ideas. I think I will eventually get to some mods, but my time is very chopped up due to my job and having a young child. I don't mind the challenge of figuring out tuning issues, but I usually only have a few hours a week maximum to work on the car. So, complex tuning stuff can mean my car gets stranded in my driveway for months. I have already gotten a 2G Mitsu MAS from the pullapart off of a low mileage Galant, that is the same MAS that was on the Eclipse. I think I will eventually get a MAF-T Gen II and use my 2G MAS similar to what Frenchi did in his 89 that was wrecked. It may just have to wait a year or two to make that situation work. For now, I think I can figure out something with the one pair of stock injectors I have that seem okay.
  13. BC_99 - So, I guess I spoke too soon when I said they were NLA. I do see them on that site you told me about. I also found them on oemmitsubishiparts.com - for $825.95!!! Now that I am Googling a bit harder, I am finding them on a few different Chrysler and Mitsu places for about $800 for the pair. That's too steep for me!
