Ok so I have a somewhat stock SL with 177k miles. Other than the typical smoke when it idles for a few minutes it runs great! I'm starting to do some upgrades and while building is no problem for me the problem is the physics behind it. I ordered a Jesters Chrome ECU from Adam (for the SL) and want to start tuning as soon as possible. I searched a lot and not found much on NAs but tons on turbos so I'm hoping to get more info here and hopefully this will help other wondering the same thing. I know my TB and injectors need cleaning but I was considering buying slightly larger ones instead. I can scale the injectors in the ECU and I assume that will keep it from flooding. Also I know on a stock NA larger injectors will do no good but with a larger TB and exhaust would I see any performance increase at all? My thoughts are if I'm replacing them anyways why not go slightly larger so when I start doing the work on my heads I'll already have good injectors and better TB. Any thoughts, theories and opinions are welcome.
Keep in mind I'm still learning this stuff. Opinions and tips and even long winded lessons are very welcome and encouraged but flaming and or derogatory remarks are frowned upon. Although I was a mechanic for years I never claim to know a lot or want to brag about how awesome my car is (although, even mostly stock, it is awesome to me) lol.
Thanks!
