I am ready to start in on this project but I need to make a couple
decisions.  I don't think I am going to try and use the 2.1 cooling system,
I'll get a new 1.9 WP and stick with the current system.  I am going to use
the 2.1 exhaust/cat and I am thinking of getting a little more free flowing
muffler but the 2.1 muffler isn't in too bad of shape.

I am wondering if I should use the 1.9 harness/FI system with the 2.1 intake
or gut the entire 1.9 harness/FI and install the 2.1 stuff. I've seen replys
saying it works either way, I just don't know how much I want to go messing
with Totoro's wiring.  I assume, this being a 1991 system, it'd be better to
go with the 2.1 FI/harness and utilize the idle stabilization.  But it seems
so much easier to just leave the 1.9 stuff in place and swap the enigne in
and run with it.   Hmmmmm.. . . I'm torn.
