180 crank, got a 83mm, should I even install it?
I made the mistake of buying a 83mm pulley without thinking too much about it, my 90mm is on it's way out and needs a new bearing so I thought I should just get a bit more power while I'm at it.
Now I'm not so sure if my car is even ready for such a thing...
What should I look out for with my stock injectors as a tell tale sign that they need to be upgraded for 550c? Am I to log something? Don't have a wideband so probably nothing...
Will my crankshaft be in jeopardy? I saw some thread about pinning the shaft and with my big pulley it got me worried.... I really wish the car just came with a stock crank when I bought it.

Well your entering the factors of more heat and stacking .You'll need larger injectors cause you’ll be at state of lean out and can pop your engine as your injector duty cycle is maxed !I hope you got cooling mods for this combo .

I don't have meth if that's what you're hinting at. I don't track the car but I do live in a hotter state...
I have a PLM cooler and a 010 pump currently.

^what about all this?
I'm not opposed to getting the pump at all I'm just not too good with electronics, I'd hate to end up frying something 7-8 months down the line. I daily the car and take it on road trips.

Even with just mid length headers I wouldn't go anything over a 185 crank or equivalent.
I would replace the bearing of the stock supercharger pulley for now if i was in your shoes.

I have mids. The pulley was sold to me by what should be a very experienced vendor who should know this type of stuff... and he's located in a very low lying state just like me.
I'm in FL, so what you said kinda scares me. I'm not really planning on getting bigger headers honestly, so maybe I should just put the pulley up for sale and chalk it up to a nice $50-60 lesson.

Your mods are fine ,long tubes will help your get maximum gains out your engine more so then cooling say vs your mids .The long tubes will help you run a tad more timing from the extra flow and psi drop which Compensate boost and timing when tuning .You need more cooling maybe a other he or one massive one to stop heat .These cars suffer when you go past 180 or 77 ,don’t forgot you’ll need more fuel too!!

it down from climbing too high. The car would just gets too hot especially in the summer. The ecu pulls timing at 3 tiers:
95F - 3.5 degrees
113F- 6.3 degrees
149F - 9.5 degrees
My cooling still wasn't enough in 75F weather. My temp would start at 56F with ice and get to 129F on a 3rd gear pull at the dyno. I would recommend adding a meth kit to stop the temps from climbing so high. I added a 10 nozzle post inter cooler and a 3 nozzle on top of the snout. My temp wouldn't climb higher then 95F via zeitronix ndash on a 3rd gear pull at the dyno.
If you’re on recall fuel pumps I wouldn’t do it either. I lost a compression on cylinder #8 within 6 month of using a 77/168. I would upgrade the fuel pumps and drill some holes on the sides and bottom of the fuel buckets. To help refill the bucket so the pumps are always have fuel to pump. The new recall fuel pumps don’t have a siphon jet in the bottom of the fuel buckets like the original buckets that first came with the car causing a fuel pressure drop and going lean.
This issue doesn’t allow the fuel buckets to refill the buckets with fuel fast enough which causes the fuel pumps to not pump any fuel during a pull. If the pumps aren’t pumping any fuel they'll over heat and cause the fuel hat to get burnt. Which is what happened to me and unfortunately costed me a motor

Jesus.
What I'm getting from this is that even my crank is too much. Definitely not interested in installing a meth kit that seems like such a pain in the ***.
It came with the car I didn't really even know when I bought it... I want to downgrade to a stock crank to be honest...

I actually want to go down a notch... I have trouble keeping the heat off. I'm constantly running 22-30F over ambient.
Maybe I need to bleed my cooler again I don't know... I think getting that superflo pump might be the best money I'll spend, tough **** because I like JUST renewed my pump just a few weeks ago.
