Starting the car without a tune

**MacDiZZle** · 24-01-2010 08:35 PM

Ok so im pretty much finished my turbo build and almost ready to start my car/make sure everything is working/test for problems/drive it to get tuned

i was just wondering whats the best way to do this... should i put the stock injectors back in and run it with the stock ecu and the intercooler piping disconnected? the car wont run with the bigger injectors will it?

thanks guys!

P.S im bound to start having problems now that its time to start the car so stand by for questions

Go with the std ECU & std injectors.
This way you can be sure it's not going to be overly rich,
Chances are it'll idle fine & give you a chance to warm it up & check for leaks etc.

Just be careful started it though, if it hasn't been turned on in a while, turn the motor over a few times by hand just to get oil around.
Might idle rough though.

should be fine to start and drive on stock ecu and injectors, just dont go hard on it and drive like a snail.

and like above give it a few rotations by hand if not started for a while

^ By hand? I don't think you will build up oil pressure by hand.

Just disconnect injectors and dizzy and do it via the starter.

not oil pressure that will be impossible to do it by hand.

just to get oil moving a little so it coats the components

lol depends how strong you are.
you gotta get the oil through the engine into the places where it needs to be,
not just in the head. esspecially if your starting it for the first time in a while and its got a turbo on it.
