Tuning and engine electronics

[00EscortZx2]

I know I've read before that an engine will kill it self without a proper tune when running a turbo, but I've seen a few guys running base tunes. Would this be ok to run for a while or would it just cause problems in the long run? Also, how much of a difference will I see with a bigger injectors or are bigger ones a necessity to even get it running? I know I sound like a cheep ass, but I just want my car done!! :shrug:

By base tune, they do not mean factory tune. They mean a tune that has not been properly datalog'd/dyno tuned.

Bigger injectors are a must for turbo aplications unless you just want to slap on a housing and have no boost.

and as for cheap,.... there is an old saying. You can pay me now, or you can pay me later. Meaning, Tune now costing X amount of dollars, or fix your car and have to tune it later costing X*3 dollars

That what I figured, a mail tune from a SCT dealer. Ok, I guess I'll buy everything first lol thanks man.

the smallest injector to go with is 24lb if you plan on putting out 180hp (smallest turbo zx2 I've seen). 19lb won't go past 165hp
