Injectors / Install / Drivability

PSMBoXer · 05-08-2006, 06:30 PM

I am trying to figure out what is the easiest way for me to get my turbo upgrade done (decided on the fp green) ... tuner will be here one week after I can get the stuff installed, so from what I heard, the car will not run with new injectors unless tuned - correct?

So I'll probably have to install everything, but injectors and then get the injectors installed before the tune. maybe get a base map? Any ideas?

How hard / long is it to swap the injectors on the STi?

Thanks

The injector install is pretty easy, I did it in my driveway with just basic hand tools. You might as well swap plugs (if you had been planning to go to colder plugs) and do a compression test at the same time.

Passenger side rear injector is not easy. The other 3 are easy. IMHO.

You definitely don't want to run injectors untuned. No way. Don't even try.

I forgot about that one. But overall it was maybe a 2-3hr job taking it easy.

I plan on doing the install one day before the tune and car won't run until Scott Siegel gets to it ... I was thinking about doing everything, but injectors, but I don't like the idea of a base map. Gotta do it right the first time. Thanks for all replies.
