So I'm still trying to find a reputable mechanic to rebuild my 2.3T I purchased to ensure that its in good working order. I have almost no time to work on the damn thing.
While I'm waiting I'd still like to do some performance mods to my current 2.3. I purchased the vehicle with almost all the emissions stuff taken out (my county actually has no emissions test required) it has an adjustable cam timing gear (which I dont understand how to use) and a nice set of headers with no emissions stuff hooked on, going down to a pipe with no catalytic converter.
Some people said a good place to start is to upgrade my fuel pump and my fuel injectors, but I wonder what to upgrade them to? Also I heard that installing a new camshaft will improve things also. But what camshaft to buy? I'm a pretty good mechanic when things break in my car, but I no close to nothing about performance stuff.
I like my N/A engine a lot since I've spent so much time with it. Although I am considering buying a 5.0 Mustang if you know anyone that wants to trade let me know.
