Will My Car Be Driveable With Stock Ecu?

[QRI05E]

Hey guys, as we all know with performance upgrades comes dilemmas! My mechanic will be fitting the 550cc injectors, highflow turbo, nismo fuel pump and FMIC. However my tuner is 20min drive away and need to get the car to him to fit and tune the ECU.

Will my car fire up and be “drivable” for about 20kms with the factory ECU?

Regards,

Hi Sarkis,

I had fuel pump, FMIC and Highflow all running on stock ECU, i'm unsure of the injectors though as i installed PFC and injectors at the same time.

What aftermarket ECU have you got?

IF you got pfc then just program your injectors by using the hand controller and then drive to the tuner.. that's what i did.

[R31Nismoid]

Your stock ECU wont run the injectors at all well... it "might" be ok, as in... just driveable.

But i doubt it

[StockyMcStock]

i am skeptical that it will idle or drive at all. give it a try, if it doesn't work then get it towed there for like 50 bucks.

or fit the injectors at the tuner

[QRI05E]

Yea might just do that.. however the tuner wants $200 to fit the injectors

Im still tossing up between PFC (cant find them under $1200) or a Haltech (recommended by my tuner) he also tunes PFC but he cant get them anymore...

Cheers

drive there with old injectors, park it in the parking spot, whip out your tools and change the injectors

$200 saved

$200 ID DO IT YA SELF,get it towed for like $50 and still save the $150 from the injectors getting installed by u...$200 its such an easy job

[QRI05E]

I have never changed injectors before so i wouldn't know where to start... since ill be using a Nismo pump and injectors, if i cand get my hands on a PFC i can take my time and do it all at home and then adjust the injectors so i can drive it there... ill see how i go... cant find a PFC anywhere...

Cheers

$200 to change the injectors

RUDE BASTARD

yeah i'd just get it towed.

(actually i'd just fit em myself in his parking lot, but if I WAS YOU, id get it towed)

My vote, get it towed. Saves you replacing $100 worth of plugs when you get to the tuner and find that they're fouled up bad.

[QRI05E]

Yea might just get them all installed there... cheers

[dead32]

having so much instaled at once, when you get it back your gona wet your pants lol. personaly id do what gungtr said.

[QRI05E]

Yea but the PFC is hard to come by these days... EMS or Haltech ECU comes with slightly more options as well as no need for an AFM...

Ill be visiting a few workshops in early Jan and see what they recommend...

I have the Injectors, Fuel Pump and FMIC sorted just need to decide on turbo and ECU... hopfully will see 260+rw/kw

Have a great New Years Eve guys... Keep Safe

mate your tuner sounds like a tool, he is saying its going to take him a full 3 hours to swap some injectors over. I'd visit another workshop

[QRI05E]

No he didnt say 3hrs, he told be he could do it for $200 but would rather someone else to do it... he specilises in ECU installs and tune... He is no tool let me assure you... he has some of the most powerful cars coming off his dyno inc BU5TER

He knows his work very well and would highly recommend J.E.M (Adam)

Cheers
