hey dude how you goin?, i am actually doin this conversion at the moment and i found out that the 2.6L and 2.3L rodeo manifolds fit on, what you will need if you are hooking up a supercharger you will need a fuel and ignition aftermarket computer prefferably a wolf 3d or if you can find a secondhand one it would be better, but they are petty expensive. if you are getting the standard computer get a computer off a late model camira like an 88 model with the map sensor, so you can retune for boost, this is all i can really help you with at the moment but i hope it helps if you have anything tht can help me i would like you to let me know or add me to your msn my email is i_love_fat_chix@hotmail.com

Microtech is the cheapest but also the shitiest (my opinion). Wolf 3d ver 4 is around $1500 brand new. Personally I would go for a Haltech E6X - much finer resolution and the ability to run a 4 cyl in full sequential mode.

Rdigecrest engineering in vic. I have one to suit a G200 at home (in brizzy) they can be re-annealed and re-used if you're interested.

well i was going 2 make a sub box with subs that dont go and put the bottle in that and hid the rest of the plumbing under the carpet and go through the fire wall cover all the outher lines an shit in the engine bay with braided hoses so thats how im going to do that i might get cought but i might not depend how good i hide it and if the fine is huge i make sure no1 can find it

exactly right gene, not all cops are stoopid, sure u might get one or 2 who dont even look, but most cops are aware of any extra "out of place" hoses.
