should I just bridge?

make a long story short:

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hreadid=251967

^^^ that happened

bought 90 GXL with bad auto tranny for 250

have TII engine that should be good

I am wondering if I would be better off just bridging the s5 n/a and using my megasquirt with that. I may have a couple 550 CC injectors left and I should be able to sell my turbo back exhaust to buy a few n/a exhaust parts... I would get some money out of the turbo engine and such as well. I would still use the TII drivetrain and rearend.

any suggestions/experiences etc? I would like to hear from someone who has had both.

if you have a turbo II engine and drivetrain... to me bridge is worthless lol but if u wanna bridge the n/a it isnt a bad idea.. try half bridge first.. just the end plates bridge ported... it should be a little easier to setup and tune... as far as daily driver.. i dunno about it.. i never did a bridge setup wit fuel injection........ strictly holleys....

hrm... anyone else? anyone have anything to say about this idea? I would think 550's all around could provide enough fuel and then some.

EDIT: things like a reliability comparison, for instance, I want to rag on my car, and I know that if I have a modded turbo, I will constantly be worried as to whether or not I am going to detonate and blow an apex seal but I really don't see that with the bridge setup. I do see the bridge not lasting as long, but I doubt I will put 60k on the engine before I get out of college. After I get out of college and get a job, then I can go apenuts.
