clutch failed on my speed 6 daily driver. got around to getting the jeep road ready. currently daily driving the jeep. got almost 19mpg on first tank.

Running pretty strong but i noticed it feels like its got VTEC. something kicks in at 3k rpm and pulls harder. Also just running fuel pressure regulator capped off so max pressure all the time. With stock renix injectors, cured my intermittent rough idle issue.

still like to get ride of it for a ninja

I am in great admiration, here. I would have completely eaten the money, aborted the project, bought a new engine and had it installed. I am not a patient mechanic, I just love the outcome. Kudos! :worship:
