Default towing car to tuner. Questions...

I'm going rent a flat bed trailer and tow my car to my tuner. It's a a bolt on greddy turbo but with 650cc Injectors by Fuel injector Clinic. I know the Greddy kit comes with 550 RC injectors. My question is, do i have to modify the basemap settings for the Injectors on the EMU to fire up the car to drive it up on the flat bed? I'm kind of scared turning on the car after putting bigger injectors in. Is it safe to start the car On a unmodified basemap if parts of the turbo kit have been changed?

why do you need to start the car? just put in neutral and let him pull the car on with the tow cable

the car will probably be OK, but run like doo doo
If you want to be really safe, just leave the stock injectors & stock ecu in, carefully drive it on & off the trailer,
install bigger injectors & emanage at the dyno shop

I wouldn't fire a car and let it run for any period with injectors 5x the original size. The injector multiplier will need changed, along with cold start values I'd say.

This is the safest bet.


When I went stand alone and bigger injectors, I took my car to my tuner and installed them there.

Either leave stock inectors and ecu or have base tune sent to u. Don't drive car with 650 and emu on tune for 550 injectors.

Red just post up when you need it moved in new england section, and maybe some of us locally can help give you a push up, it's a light enough vehicle. Also not sure when you plan on doing it but let me know I have a trailer and can give you a hand if your bringing it up to ballistic.
