i bought the car with the 3.0 on it...i have a 2.7 i want on it but need the rest of the s3 stuff to go with...previous owners were highly retarded because they had the car less than 3 months and had it repo'd

 

yea, with stock injectors/tune you are pretty close to maxing out the stock injectors, a 3.0 pulley isnt a huge drop, but it could just be enough to make the injectors go static, i highly suggest you get #50, or #60 injectors and a retune. if you want the 2.7. also zzp dual pass with opt B kit, and even a heat exchanger. some people on here have also had good luck with the phenolic intake spacer ( i installed mine) but havent got to test it. meth would also help you out.

 

ya i planed on 60# inj( i was told to get 80# to be safe) with s3 h/e dual pass, catback with long tube headers, hp tune or trifecta, i havent heard bad things about either so i have no idea which would be better. basically making it full stage 3 with "no short cuts or maybe i can do with out this" kind of thing

 

i honestly think 60's would be fine, unless you plan to run e-85 sometime. a good dyno shop with hp tuners would put you with a good tune, trifecta is pretty good from what i hear also.

 

well guys, just ordered a zzp 2.5 catted down pipe with extra 02 bung, and plug, a new IC pump, mine is shot i found out today.

 

60's is more than enough for a 2.7....but you need to keep that son-bitch cool. First thing's first....either get a stock pulley on that s/c or get at least 42's and a half-way decent tune so you don't make those stock injectors go static. As it is, those stockers are maxed out on the stock pulley; they're known to go static very early in the rpm band with anything lower than the stock pulley.

 

the car runs at 160-180 max...it only hits 180 if i do some runs at the track...so could there possibly be something done i dont know about?

 

are talking temps????

 

ya, i mean could it be a replaced thermo or maybe a cooling mod i dont know about? my CEL pops on and off randomly about it stickin open and car wont go over 110degrees.

 

his injectors went static the day the 3.0 pully went on

 

Thermostat is shot. Just had mine replaced

exactly...get a new one, i did mine around 55K miles...kinna hard to get to but doable on the ground, or have a shop do it

 

well i do have my extended warranty so maybe when i take it in for the steering rack i can have them do it for me. i mean i got the car with 28k on it and hasnt really gave me problems til this winter started

 

just wanted to give you guys a update about everything i got on my car, cars running good for now knock on wood lol. got all my mounts on since my top motor mount came late (they were out), i got alot more vibs through the car, but its well work it when going from a dig lol. meth kit is up and working great, id like to give rodney from AIS a big thanks for his service, awesome guy. zzp also did a great job at shipping parts, they were here in 2 days and the parts are great quality. just gotta wait for the next pay checks to come to order my clutch/HP tuners pro suite/ and a/f ratio guage and pillar kit.
