Is It Safe To Drive The Car Hard

[Andrew.Y]

Hi everyone,

I have just put a set of Garrett -7s on the 34 GTR, with HKS boost controller to 1 bar, stock injector/fuel pump/fuel rail, with full WELDINA NE-1 exhaust.

Before doing that the injector is about to maxing out about 1 bar on stock turbo.

My question are:

* Is it safe to drive the car hard for the current mod? (new mod's on the way)

* What is the consequence of maxing out the injectors with a bigger turbo? is it going to damage the engine in any way?

* What happens if I increased the boost to 1.2 bar with stock injectors?

The car is not even on road yet so all these questions are hypothetical. however I would really appreciate if I get some answers.

Thanks.

Maxing out the injectors means that they cannot flow or add any more fuel to compensate for the increased air flow when u turn up the boost so the engine will lean out and guess what.....BANG!!!!

Turn down the boost to 10-11 psi and u "should" be good until an injector AND ecu upgrade

Got pfc. 550cc injectors are on the way. are they big enough for -7?

Also wondering which is more harmful to the engine: too much air or too much fuel?

Seriously...

550cc will be good enough for pump...if u have plans to go E85 u might need to go bigger

Too much air with not enough fuel....as in your case

lol we all stay up a bit late...

Bosch 044 + 550cc will be the fuel set up.

E85, is it road legal? i'm not sure just asking...

Neither too much fuel nor too much air is good for the engine.

i was running -7's on my gtr on the stock ecu and stock injectors for quite some time and it was fine, it was tad on the rich side though
