Turbonetics standard reflash with 440cc injectors?
Car is going into the shop next week or so for the Turbonetics install.
One question. I have the RC 440's from a GReddy Turbo kit and is planning on upgrading the 380's that comes with the Tnetics to it.
Would I able to drive with the 440's on with Tnetics standard 380cc reflash for like...an hour?
The reason being I will have the emanage installed and ready for dyno tune at SP Engineering...but the problem is I have to drive there. Its like a 35 mins drive.
Or should I have Tnetics reflash the ECU to a larger size injectors(550's?) and use the emanage to scale it down back to the 440's by SP. But will I be able to drive with an over size reflash?
The install shop does not do tuning.
Thanks,

I would say yes that is shold work albeit you are going to be RIDICULOUS rich but its tough to tell someone to do that and have them mess something up. If its only a 35 minute drive how bout trailoring the car to the other shop? If you have AAA you get a few free tows a year. If not it shouldn't cost more then $100. Certainly cheaper then messing something up....

For some reason I thought your TNetics was already installed.
I'm gonna do larger injectors with the eManage Ultimate soon also. Decided to do an out-of-the-box install first because my installer does not tune either. Car should be done today (woohoo!).
I will be very interested to see what you decide on and how the emanage works out for you. I'm planning on getting a reflash first though.

Yeah supposedly I would already have it installed, but thats before I wracked my car on Angels Crest 6 weeks ago, just right before the turbo came in! ...the car is not out of the shop yet. The T-netics been sitting in my garage for the past 4 weeks. Poor turbo...poor me!

But should I have Tnetics reflash the ECU to a larger size injectors(550's?) and use the emanage to scale it down back to the 440's by SP? I remember an old thread by Sharif saying something about reflash to the larger size then scale it back down with the emanage to prevent some kind of spike?

...currently I dont have money for emanage ultimate, which works well both ways. Richen and leaning.

Mark, dont worry. You will be fine to drive your car with a 380cc reflash and 440cc injectors for a short time. Beleive it or not, at idle and cruise, the ECU will adapt to 14.7:1 if you have a newer OEM wideband car.
Now, if you give it more than 1/4 throttle, it goes pig rich, so just gently cruise over to the shop and all will be good.
For reference, I ran a set of 550cc injectors without an eManage scaling or ECU reflash, and the car started right up and idled perfectly. Of course, anything more than 1/8 throttle and the car fell on it's face.

Alright, good deal. Thanks for ya'll helps.
I think I will go with the standard 380 flash then tune it down with the emanage.
If anyone thinks I should go any other way, feel free to give me some pointers.
Im learning as I go...

If he gets the flash done for 380cc injectors and runs 440cc the car will run rich which is way better then lean and then he can pull fuel later via emanage...
Right, but my point was that he should leave the 380cc standard reflash in place. Which I think is what you are saying as well...so I guess we are saying the same things...haha!
