So basically I have an 87 NA 13b going into it. The engine has higher mileage, but its a full running swap that I took out of my 87 GXL.
While I have it out.. these are the things I am looking to change/eliminate/fix.
1. Oil squirters.. How "simple" of a task is this. I am aware that I will have to premix my fuel after, but
what are the pros/cons and pains about removing the setup.
2. What are the sensors/wires on the side of the trans.. I know that one has to be the shift light
sensor and the mechanical speedo is down there too, but im unsire of the 2 sets of wires that are
on both sides of the tranny.
3. Is it possible to run a periphial port style intake on an engine that has not had a port job. I have a
friend that can fab alot of things and I was wondering if this would be any benificial to "opening" up
an NA car.
Any help, insight or ideas are greatly appreciated..
Thanks.

1) oil squirters: oil "injectors" is a better term. It's simply putting a blockoff plate on the front cover where the OMP attaches, running plugs into the 4 OMP holes in the engine/LIM, and capping the vac leak(s) Pros: you now know FOR SURE that you're getting proper oil w/ the 2 stroke. It burns cleaner, & keeps the inside of the engine well kept. The housings last longer
Cons: you have to spend extra time @ the pump filling up, & if you have an interior you care about, you'll get oil on it. Also oil on your hands most likely. There is now ZERO lubrication on decel, because it goes into fuel cut, and no fuel = no oil since it's all mixed in.
2) Speedo, neutral switch, 5th/reverse. Check FSM
3)what? no
