no, emts (and others) mean, what ECU are you using to support the different injectors?

you cant just change injectors and expect the ECU to figure it out, you need to tell the ECU what injectors you have, if non-std 370cc

your options are

remap the stock ECU

get a piggyback ECU option

get a stand alone ECU

either will let you run larger injectors. with STD ECU and anything other than 370cc injectors your car will run like ass and it's a timebomb

im surprised the tuner didnt check or ask you or refuse to tune it with std ecu and different injectors

did you tell him it had non-std injectors? did he ask what ECU

or have you just failed to list it here?

there is nothing to figure out or nothing to do your head in.

it is a simple yes / no question.

if you have a remapped ecu, aftermarket ecu, piggyback

a) get it remapped / tuned again

if you have the standard ECU

a) remap the stock ECU

b) get a piggyback ECU option

c) get a stand alone ECU

or your last option

remove the aftermarket injectors

YOU

CANNOT

RUN

NON

STANDARD

INJECTORS

WITH

A

STANDARD

UN-MODIFIED (not remapped)

ECU

yeah you dont need 440cc injectors with std turbo

the std turbo will run out of efficiency before the stock injectors do

so sell them and spend the money you get back on a piggy back or ECU remap

the piggyback or ECU remap will add a bucket load more average power everywhere and make the car heaps quicker

you should peak 200rwkw with those mods + ECU remap or piggyback

but the average power will be up heaps more over the std ECU and boost controller

plus youll have to avoid the factory boost R&R around 10psi so its a crap setup even if you just ditch the injectors and tune it

    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
