ok so i had a leak on one of the injectors that brett installed.. so i unscrewed the rail and i was looking at the injectors. are there supposed to be anything on the gold tips of the injectors? and how do i kno if there in the holes they are supposed to go to? do they snap in or something?

also if i disconnect the AEM FIC does the basemap i loaded come off aswell?like go back to stock tune.

 

if you disconnect the fic you won't lose your tune. And the little robber o rings from the stock injectors you should have put on there.

 

NO anything on the F/IC is saved to it, whether it has power going to it or not.

 

i meant if i take the FIC off of the ECU will i be running stock tune again?

 

the tune should still be on it...but i believe you have to reload that map

 

arite so i fixed the leak.. but i turn the engine on and it smells of fuel or oil or something but i cant spot any leaks..
i have no exhaust on.. its just the downpipe right now.
it gets hot in idle inside the engine bay is that suppose to happen?

 

.....more horsepower more heat. and wiout any pipe to move the exhauts gases away from the middle of the car ya you'll smell it.

 

^^ I agree. GL sofresh!

 

haha and your car would be freakin loud!

 

Actually the turbo drowns a lot of the noise... Its not as loud as you would expect... There's a clip on youtube of a turbo tc driveby w/ no exhaust...

 

my car sounds like a 1970's camaro or something alongn those lines lol... in idle its like all muscle.

 

Haha, nice!

 

It is kinda loud. I heard it on the phone.

 

ya i had to get it towed to japtrix/hp logic. the fuel injector kept leaking so idk what was going on. the o ring was messed up but i replaced it and then the one injector was just a biatch to get in but i got it in and tightened it but still leaked... the car will be complete thursday afternoon with tune and such. im gonna try and keep it at around 235 whp and whatever torque numbers comes with it.

 

Why not go for 250ish? you beat evo's then

 

250 = tranny slippage...

stupid auto tranny.. im advised not to pass 240 whp but browndogg made 237 whp and 285 wtq on his auto at 8 lbs i think but not 100% sure .. i think that would be enough to beat a stock evo or atleast hang with it

 

^ 240 Would beat it easy.

 

....umm corect me if i'm wrong but doesn't torque kill tranny's not WHP.

 

no idea... but nobody ever says anything bout the torque.. they just say stay below 250whp

 

Torque is what kills the tranny. HP is a measurement of torque by RPM. Because HP comes from a torque calculation, it's safe to say HP can break a tranny too.
