ok so im having someone install my turbo but they cant or dont want to put the injectors on or put the base map on for the aem fic...

am i able to drive around a little (like a day or 2 until tune) without entering boost or will my engine like blow up or something bad happen to it? its an auto btw

coryjames

you wont be able to hlep it do you have a wideband in? thats the only way i would ever do that

BuddhasTC

without the larger injectors you will run out of fuel and lean out very bad around 200whp...you run the chance of detonating your engine

Could they drop some colder plugs in to help w/ the detonation?

coryjames

when you run out of gas you lean out plugs will not happen baby the helllll out of the car and dont hit boost

i wouldn't do it... i mean i REALLY wouldn't do it. Get it towed. Ask someone who has AAA to do it...

Or just find someone that can do the complete install... It may cost more, but I wouldnt skimp on paying for an install...

before this thread becomes a ridiculous waste of space, let me set a few things straight. i will be installing this guys kit. what i told him was that i don't have any experience with the aem f/ic, and that i wouldn't know how to upload his base map. i told him that after i installed his kit he can then drive on stock injectors to a tunning shop for them to do it. i didn't want him to drive on the new 550 injectors until the base map was uploaded, as it will make the car run very rich. i told him that i would show him exactly how to change the injectors so that he wont have to pay a shop to do it, and he can put them in right before the base map gets uploaded. his wastegate spring is only 5psi, (less than a zpi stage 0), so the car will be fine.

I know somone that ran 8.5 PSI on a ZPI stage0 upgraded to a stage 1. he made 280whp so i don't think you'll be maxing them out. the treadstone kit runs stock injectors doesn't it? with no engine managment for that matter!

dezod s1. brett is only going to do my install nobody else. i am just scared this is my first boosted car, i did not make this thread to show my uncertainty of you brett i am just worried, im going to try and get it towed to a local shop here so they can throw the base map on, on monday morning. im not 100% sure if thats the spring in the wastegate. i just cant afford a blown engine after 7 grand for this kit and everything else.

brett561tc

i belive treadstone runs 7 psi and no management.

Scoobasteve4132

7 grand?... How'd you pull that off?...

waht do u mean. i paid for the s1 = 4,045 or sumthing
ptuning exhaust = 660
gauges/dumptube/vacblock = 900
install = --- Brett is installing not putting number up.
and tune shouldnt be more than 500.

brett561tc

we probably wont have to go that far. im sure paul, or meaty, or someone with some knowledge of the f/ic can walk us through it.
