Different Tuning approaches
Hey i was wondering if anyone has ANY dyno charts that shows differences before and after just stroking; boring; or bigger injectors. im really curious about each approaches potential and the difference they make.
bigger injectors won't give you any more power unless the previous ones being used didn't deliver enough fuel. The dyno threads can give you some indication of certain "trends" that occur power wise, when increasing stroke but bore size increases are probably harder to track. Most engine theory books can give you some idea of what changes in these areas will give you percentage wise but there's no such thing as a set number gain for a certain increase in bore or stroke. It's highly dependant on all the other modifications and part combinations that are in place.
I believe ImportBuilders did something like this back in the day...
They took a completely stock B16, dynoed it, and then built a 2 liter bottom end.
They swapped everything over to the new 2L block(manifolds, throttle body, everything) and re-dynoed for a true back to back comparison...Or as close to it as possible.
I think they gained like 60 whp from just a block swap...I'm going off memory here so dont quote me on anything...

This is not always the case. If you have old school injectors, then you'll gain power due to the newer technology; spray pattern. A guy put bigger injectors in his AP2 and gained power across the board; his duty cycle was around 90% before the install. You also should factor in the better fuel economy sense you can run very lean in you're "cruising" load points.

Thanks that really helped. That's after stroking or boring a b18 to a 2.0 L?
Correct. I just meant that typically when going with a bigger aftermarket injector, you'll usually see gains compared to OEM.
