DMC stage 1 and stage 2 engine differences

[TTait]

Plus new fuel injectors.

New different, or new oem?

New different, or new oem?

New from Bosch. OEM spec. They don't want a new Stage 2 running bad because of poor injectors (common).

I didn't think I got new injectors in my upgrade, shortly after (maybe a month) I was having power fall out issues and brought it into the shop. they tested the injectors and found three that were faulty and needed replacement.

I pulled one a few weeks ago, it had no spray. I wonder if I didnt get any injectors as well and thats why she quit running on me. Of course had I gotten the other 5 things out of 10 done, paint the fascias, paint the rims, blend the stainless, front end recall kit and new windshield my car might still be running

You did get new injectors.

I guess I should post your tech inspection here and the items turned down.

I'll take this as far as you want it to go.

1Mcfly4u, you made it clear a few times you are not happy and Tony has stated at least twice he would honor the work. Please take future complaints about your situation directly to the source or they may be removed.

you're a moderator, not a censor. Explain to me why we can have what seems to be an entire page devoted to "ed bashing" and yet when one member shows a little bit of sarcasm that implies mechanics (not Tony specifically) at DMCFL fucked up, you threaten to censor his comment. While it is very gracious of Tony to offer his services to 1mcfly4u (and me) its kinda pointless because WE"RE IN VIRGINIA!!! and we're not rich. We simply can't afford to send our cars down there to have work done that may or may not be necessary because of a possible error on DMCFL's part.

Again, 1mcfly4u isn't "bashing" Tony like everyone else in this website seems to bash Ed whenever the opportunity presents itself. He's stating a fact. That as it happens was helpful to me and maybe others who read the thread. If the injectors on his car were replaced, as mine were, then why 1 month after he gets the car back does he pull one, and it doesn't function at all? Why in about a month did I have power issues and take my car to another shop and they find 3 faulty injectors? While I admire Tony's honor is accepting responsibility for possible oversights on his mechanics part. No one reasonable can expect him to stand over EVERY SINGLE CAR and monitor. For what its worth I know for a fact that the main mechanic who performed work on my vehicle doesn't work there any more, and in the year my car was down there they went through two different "head of sales" or whatever you wanna call them. Take that for what it is. But don't turn into a censor. 1mcfly4u is not being fowl, or downright insulting, he's frustrated and its apparent in his tone, thats all.

Never said there was any bashing, and I can appreciate his situation but he has made it clear he is displeased and if he wants to voice it, start a thread about it in the review section. I don't want read about every time someone mentions a Stage whatever upgrade. You two are welcome to hash it out in a review thread but I'm not having it here.

Nobody is "hashing" anything out. We're investigating and collaborating which is what a forum is all about. Why hasn't a DMC rep come on this thread and post a list of itemized details of what exactly is done to make a Stage II a Stage II. That would eliminate all speculation and this discussion would be over.

. Why hasn't a DMC rep come on this thread and post a list of itemized details of what exactly is done to make a Stage II a Stage II.

Can't answer for them but I wonder what more over this do you want?

As I know it:
Stage 1: Stainless Exhaust(Headers, Dual Cats and Muffler), K&N Filter, "Cold Air" intake duct and new coil and O2 sensor

Stage 2: All of the above plus modified performance cams with ported & polished heads.

Plus new fuel injectors.
