Well a tough question... I have been in the same boat, #4 melted down also. This time i have got the JE pistons, 2.1l head and intake. The main problem is the fuel issue. Some people have gone the aftermarket route with the ECU, but unless you have nothing but time and money this route is certianly the best way to go. BUT i have heard of problems with the aftermarket ECU route, once again this brings up time and money to have it all come together. So this is were i am stuck also. I will have a beautiful engine rebuild, with a Jorge 4 speed and lsd, but will the engine last after a highly regaurded engine rebuild, i don't know? I did get a wideband O2 sensor kit from austrilla to help out in the metering of fuel. The other thing i have done is mounted a fmic with 2 1/4" pipe work and 3" exhaust all the way back. Next stage will be go to a dyno and get a turbo suited to the rebuild. With that maybe a water injection system, but will that help out that much since i have increase the intake and exhaust i'm not sure yet.I think it ultimatly comes down to what happens in the end of the rebuild and what will it take to make it work properly.
