yeah i plan on taking it to church. and will be driving most likely from porterville which is about 165 miles .

 

Go to uhaul and rent a truck and trailer. The trailer should be around $70-$100 bucks. The truck will depend on mileage.

 

alright i will be giving them a call

 

many people have driven with the charged discounnected....but you could also take out youre wastegate spring if youre recirculated set-up...or jsut dont go into boost. But again you should be putting some load on the rings to get them to seat. I would jsut tow it man. especially if its far away

 

Go to the uhaul website. You can get a qoute on the site. The trailers are actually cheaper and the trucks look to be $20 plus mileage and gas.

 

my tuner told me the same thing. he said ill be fine just as long as i stay out of pressure. which can be achieved

 

LOL

i love these posts, as if another opinion is confirmation

yes it works

yes people leave the charge pipe off

you could also leave the BOV off

or you could just drive really tame and not let the turbo go positive

personally i would just drive with the charge tube off and tape a screen around it and your TB so no debris flies in while you're driving there.

or tape a screen over the BOV hole with charge pipe connected so the engine has clean air via the air filter on your turbo

 

cool i just search it up and will cost roughly 350 to tow thats including gas sucks that it will cost about 800 to get my car tune but i guess i gotta do what i gotta do thanks for all the info everyone

 

listen to Racebum...He spelled it out for you. nothing else to add.

Also in regards to the tuning. It can get expensive really quick if everything in not 100% at the tune...If they run into issues that is more money figuring out issues before the tune can even be done. Keep that in mind. Really thouroughly check everything ive had the same problems where minor issues held me up at the tuner and being 100miles away i could exactly take the car back and fix them. Its counterproductive. So i had to pay them to fix it. It can get expensive really fast especially when new parts are needed....Something to keep in mind since im sure most of the time cars brought to a tuner are not 100% ready for the tune.

 

This

 

most likly ill be getting a streetfriendly basemap or two ill kick in vtec on the way there! stock engine though and 680's. the Uhaul dolly is a pretty good idea though

 

ohh man....Dont "kick" in any vtec till it is tuned...if youre driving there with a new build(new rings) i would put load on the motor and then decel....3/4th gear from 2-4k full throttle. to help rings seat.

The safer scenario here is just tow it. cause if youre tuning isnt good enough on the base map you could wash the rings out and never get them to seat correctly

 

i drive to all my tuning days and i have never had a problem. I had a built turbo single cam that i drove 50 miles on the way to my dyno tune with no issues. just stay out of boost and have a good octane fuel.

of course if you can afford a tow, thats the best option.

 

towing will all together cost about roughly 550 bucks and tuning is about 400. the reason im really open to driving is cause who can spend that much money without having a job. not me atleast but i guess i will if i have too

 

Find a shop to tune in the immediate area.

 

EIf you have s300 and a laptop can't you adjust whatever needs to be adjusted yourself?
Drive it slow watch your a\f readings and don't beat on it.
Id help tow it but it will probably be more or the same for you

 

lots of people drive around on 4-6psi with all the parameters of a car dialed in on the dyno its just not 100% spot on but we'll see how it goes

 

i tried this two times. thats why i rebuilt it three times

 

i dont know how to do much on the s300 and how much would you charge to tow ? what if i got the car to the beginning of the grapevines?

 

I drove an hour to get my car tuned with stock ecu and stock injectors, i shifted at 2500 and drove like a little old lady all the way there, when i got there i then put the injectors in and proceeded to tune i had no problems whatsoever. mind u i did not have new pistons, i would leave the charge pipe off and drive it there but thats just me.

 

if you dont have a job, what the hell are you doing spending money on your car?

 

i just got let go and im finishing my build

 

You were told wrong. Overspinning is from a large change in pressurization when it pops off from high boost pressures to zero. Not just running in vaccuum

 

so will i be fine driving it with the charge pipe disconnected?

 

good luck... play it safe.
if you wash your rings u have to hone and re-ring.... i cant imagine that would be less than the 400$ in towing. rings are what 100$ then a hone another 100$ then the cleaning and what not plus replacing the gaskets... Then your still at square one. I understand your need to get it tuned even though u don't have a job. as it sits you don't have a job or a drivable car... gotta get that fixed.
why not look to the north for a tuner. it seems that on the 5 in those hills would be hard to stay out of boost and erratic loads. (not gay) I don't know who church is, is he worth risking your engine?
im in nor cal and have done all of my own tuning, im far from great but have never hurt an engine because of a bad tune. (not recommending you or anyone 2 hit me up to tune ur ride)
anybody with the proper equipment and some time can do a tune, assuming they know anything about how an engine operates.
