What mods have you done to your 4banger?

I've yet to do any motor work to my Gen I. Probably the biggest thing i'll do is get rid of the 2.0L that currently occupies my engine bay and swap over to a Thunderbird Turbo-Coupe setup. Easiest way to make power, and keep fuel mileage reasonable.
Other than that before i completely ditch the 2.0 entirely... i'll probably upgrade the carb and intake...but thats about it.

My friend turbocharged his 2.3L, it caught on fire. Bring a fire extinguisher.
See I was once like you!

I find it hard to belive you had problems pulling your boat. I pull my friends Bass Boat all the time. Well, maybe like 4 times a year. Only time i truly worry it wont pull is when i am pulling it out of the water, but not because it doesnt have power, but because the tires slip so bad. We have the same truck, pretty much. Dunno, maybe i am pulling a smaller boat. havent pulled any jet skis yet.

My 4 banger was a 98 reg cab 5 speed. I have a 20' yamaha ls 2000 with twin motors. It will not pull that boat outta the water. I would smoke the clutch. It had a had a hard time with my jetskis. They are 96 seadoo XP's with the 800 rotax in em sitting on a galvanized steel trailer. The trailer is huge about 17' from ball to lights. It is made for much larger crafts. My new(er) truck with the 4.0 I can't even tell I'm pulling em.

Ok, you do have a much larger boat. As for my clutch, i never really noticed/smelled any problems from it. I know that the torque was increased in my truck a considerable amount from the 95 rangers (which is what my friend with the boat has), but I am not sure if there is a difference between the 98 and the 2002.
