as long as you stay out of boost and it doens't go lean you will be fine. i don't recommend driving it as is though any longer than you absolutely have to.

no matter what it doesnt lean out at all after the 780cc percisions install, it jus runs 11.5 -12.5 cruzin 70mph, is that enough richness to wash a ring out? also in boost it stays around 12.5 thats good right?? also is this 30psi of fuel pressure safe??

with those kind of afr numbers you won't probably have any trouble, it will just be running awfully rich. if it was in danger of washing the cylinder walls you'd likely be having trouble even keeping it running, and your afr would be pegged at 11:1. that being said i can't guarantee you won't run into any trouble. if you want to play it safe get a basemap that compensates for the larger injectors, or simply tow the car to wherever it's being tuned.

not really no. aside from getting a canned tune loaded onto the ecu that will compensate for the injectors.

so you're going to slowmo huh. that's where my buddy just got his b16 turbo hatch tuned at. i'll be doing the same once i get my vitara build together on my coupe. i live like 20 mins from downtown columbus
