So on saturday, i fitted some new injectors. 550cc.

Its running super rich and constantly stalls so i guess i just need to get it tuned?

I was told it would run fine with this size injector, but i guess he was wrong?

Just wanted to double check that its probably just the tune, because on saturday, i did about 60km after fitment, ran like a dream, no worries at all. But today, running like a dog.

Cheers in advance for any help.

Sounds as though it's already been somewhat tuned to suit.

You upgraded from stock injectors? If so there's no way it would of run ok without any tuning. Someone on here tested theirs on idle got overconfident and was lucky to limp the car home after going around the block far too much fuel

It will be sitting in the drive way until i get it tuned, which ive just organised, so im not that worried.

Stock injectors dirt cheap would be second hand, yes? Id rather put new stuff in. Nothing a little money wont fix =D

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
