I know there are a bunch of threads out there about this topic. I have spent sometime reading up on it and I could swear I once before found specific information on this topic but can't find it again. I know you can run 440s on the stock ecu and it will just run a little rich in OL. My question is:

I will be getting tuned soon, but the place I will be getting tuned does not install rails/injectors. Because of this, I will have to install the injectors and rails before I go to the tuning shop and drive there with the bigger injectors. I will be installing 94 NA rails and 550cc yellow tops. Will my car run at all? I just need to limp it in CL to the tuner. Is this possible?

It should get there fine.

Running rich might damage the cats, but for a short distance I think you'll be fine.

...cats?



3" catless turbo back

Another thought, grab a JECS MAF for the trip. Why not tune for the JECS?

You'll have to figure out how to kill the check engine light, but I believe that's posted here somewhere.

It won't be perfect, but it will be alot closer than the stock Hitachi unit. And will have alot more headroom after tuning.

JECS MAF is sitting on my desk right now. >:)


td04, 06 tmic, 3" turbo back, JECS MAF, 550cc yellow tops....mmhmm

What are you tuning? Stock ECU? Piggy back?

T into the blue wire and ground. No CEL then.

T into the blue wire and ground? will that work if you're running stock ecu? will there be any complications like running to lean or rich?

If you run the 550s, you should still be a tad rich, but alot closer than if running the stock maf.


Yes, the grounding trick works with the stock ecu.
