Hey all. After letting my car sit in my garage (waiting for funds to show up) i've got it back out on the road....almost. It's been having starting issues along with timing, electrical, cosmetic (interior and exterior), and overall tlc.
So here's the plan. I'm going to start stock piling parts and then me and my buddy are going to tear the whole engine and engine bay apart. Clean or replace everything in our way and revive a beastly engine to (hopefully) wake up the neighborhood once again. The initial list of needed parts (not including engine components) - Blow Through UICP (Replacing old UICP) - K & N Air Filter (Replacing severely damaged K & N Filter) - Fuel Rail (Need advice on quality brands) - 660 or greater injectors (Need advice on quality brands) - Intake Manifold (Need advice on whether to go with OEM or other brand) - Exhaust Manifold/Header for 14b/16g/20g turbo - Currently running 14b - looking to upgrade to 16g - New Vacuum lines - Possibly SAFC (unsure) - Possibly Electronic Boost Controller (currently using MBC underhood) - Downpipe Any advice on parts or procedures would be greatly appreciated. I'll update thread with engine components within the next few days (pistons, rods etc) -------------------- it's not a dsm unless it's leaking something

Since you kept the boost the same, you made more power with the stroker, and needed more fuel. You didn't have enough injector to max out the 2.0 either
