Bored/Stroked

Question!

If I was to bore, and stroke my engine would I have to modify the FI?


Thanks,

Nope... but if you want to get the most "bang for your buck" you should.

Depends on you...

Simple things: larger fuel pump & adjustable fuel pressure regulator will usually do the trick, but to get the most out of a bored AND stroked, you should prolly invest in an aftermarket fuel management like MSnS or SDS.

When you say "bored & stroked" I assume you are talking about a 3.0 or 3.1L stroker?

could just get a lil larger injectors though, but if your STROKING it (hehehe) thats alot of freaking money, you need the maxima ld crank and 240z rods and then stroker pistons no? or did i mix up different methods to make a stroker? either way it seems like to much non neccessary work to me...

u pretty much hit it on the head. I do believe though its the KA pistons u can use for the stroker if u wanna source all junkyard parts to save a few bucks. But yeah a lot of money for little gain. You'd probably put less into getting the head worked and going with MS and get more power than just stroking it. But then if you go stroker you may as well do those things anyways if you wanna see any gains out of it. Of course you can go with ALL of the above if your pockets allow it hell...why not throw a turbo on there and get the best of it all!!! 3.1T running on MS and no money left to pay for the gas so you can start the thing
