from turbo to non turbo, any gain using same parts?

Hey, i was going to turbo my car again for the 3rd time but decided to sell the turbo kit and save for a paint job, here is what i have, 255 walbro fuel pump, 550cc injectors, SAFCII, intake, header, Full 2 1/2" exhaust.

do you think if i keep all that in and just tweek and tune i would notice a decent difference in power?

ps... i can get a hold of a z32 maf if that would make a diff in power also.

The fuel pump and injectors are overkill for those bolt-ons.

Turbo, Manifold, Downpipe, wastegate, injectors, something to tune it with, (SAFC) (Chipped ECU), oil lines, innercooler, piping, couplers, clamps.

the injectors, pump, and safc2 are overkill for what you have.

you will feel a little difference in boltons but the real gain on n/a engines come from the internals

one thing you can do is buy the stroker kit for the de, i forgot the estimated power but it seemed worth it for the money

also one thing you can possibly do (from what im told) is swap in some ka24e pistons and it will increase your comp ratio, but also you need to run 93 gas and no less (i could be wrong about it, never searched it and it was just what i was told)

Unless you really love the KA engine and plan on keeping it long enough to justify the actual cost of the stroker kit, I recommend not getting the stroker- its probably better suited to turbo applications. Plus it does take some modification to the oil squirters in the block. That doesn't necessarily mean its not worth the money, but you better make sure that's what you want to do before you drop 3 grand on internals.
