hey guys thinking about upgrading my turbo, going external gate.

if i put this on in my own garage will i be able to drive it to a shop to get it retuned, the shop is about 20km away.

standard ecu at the moment but am putting in new ecu when i get it to the shop.

thanks in advance

will be fine unless you change the injectors

sweet, thanks heaps guilt toy.

injectors are soon to come but not just yet lol.

what power can standard injectors handle?

thanks again guys

stock injectors = ~228rwkw

an adjustable FPR and tuneable ecu will give you slight headroom in injector duty (ie not running at 98%)

just drive the 20km off boost and you'll be right

thanks heaps guys

the project is now a go ahead then

starting next weekish .

thanks again

I've wondered the same thing... In a month or so, I'm doing the big NA->+T conversion on my 33, and I'll be doing it all here at home. I'm putting in an eManage piggyback ECU and turbo injectors, and obviously manifolds and turbo, and I'm not sure if it will be safe to drive it to the tuners (about 10 minutes away) or should I hire a trailer?

if you have or can get you hands on the emanage tuning software there is an option in there where you say what size you old injectors were and what size the new ones are, then it automatically scales down the injector outputs for you. this would be ok till you get to the tuners, just remember to let them know what you have done.

otherwise it will just be running really rich. you'll just have to see how it runs, better to be rich than lean. you may foul the sparky plugs on the way to the tuners if its too rich.

Yeah I've got the software and cable and everything, no issues there. I haven't played around with anything yet (obviously, it's still all sitting in my garage!) but I'll give the tuner a call and he can probably step me through getting it working safe enough to drive down to see him.
