Now that I pretty much have the power train, suspension and interior redone on my NA I'm beginning my planning for the next steps...POWER. :twisted:
I'm not slapping in a turbo just yet. I want to get some more umph out of the NA engine and setup first. I figure that nearly anything I do now will only enhance the turbo addition later. I know this goes against the grain but bear with me if you would. :wink:
Here is an overview of where I'm at now: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2152182
Here is what I am planning for my next steps:
1- Adjustable Cam gears from TSS (already ordered)
2- L&P Plenum- will order soon
3- Adjustable FPR- also on the buy soon list
Where I'm not sure:
4- Will the NA MAF handle the increased air flow? Not sure if they are the same as the turbo MAFs or not.
5- Nistune or Romulator for engine and fuel management. Could allow for larger injectors if coupled with an ECU? Possibly beneficial for NA now and for turbo conversion later?
6- ECU upgrade- for long term and short term gains. Will a turbo ECU act properly in an NA or should I just wait on this whole section for the turbo upgrade?
7- Bigger injectors- Would require the ECU upgrade to handle the fuel flow, but would the NA benefit from the increased fuel if I had injectors, ECU and programming to handle it?
I'm not rich but I spend the money to get what I need to get this done properly. Why stop now :shock: This car is already past the point of no return financially.
Thanks in advance for your help and knowledge. I know this is lot of stuff for one post.
