That is so true. My Fds have all emissions removed and not Cali compliant. One had a simplified vacuum lines to retain a seq. setup with BNR stage 3 twins and one had a single GT35r setup.. Both setup on 14 psi on 93 octane tune and both run premix.....I don't mess with FDs now that i am in...
Best of luck. My FD3s is happy to burn oil, but i have removed the oil injection and been running premix instead. Anyways, V8 swap if your gonna spend that much money on another 1fz-fe.
