jeffast Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 you need to get more air in there. the stock fuel system is more than capable of producing more hp. there was a guy on here a long time ago with an spfi turbo he said it handled it fine. there's my two cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 you need to get more air in there. ... Yes, Trully... If you Just get Bigger Injectors, and No More Air, the only thing that Will Increase, is Fuel Consuption... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daeron Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 ok so how do u get more air ? mabey make a home made cold air intake? The airflow restrictions are built right into the cylinder heads, and go out the intake runners and through the throttle body. Sorry to say, but these are small engines, not DESIGNED to breathe a great deal of air. Turboing it can result in some power, but there you run into headgasket worries before you can really *reliably* accomplish too much more power. That statement is one of great debate; but most people agree that there is a line somewhere. You can increase the amount that your engine can breathe *slightly* by port matching the intake manifold to the cylinder heads and the TB, and maybe hone the intake ports on your heads a tad.. but there isnt alot of room to gain. It will help, but I can't really say that the numbers will be significant. Just think of it this way.. you've got 90 horsepower, for 250,000 miles, guaranteed. Your alternative would be 250 horsepower.. for 90,000 miles, guaranteed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
