Hey wassup guys i recently bought a eclipse and wanted to ask a question. The car doesn't have stock injectors. Is it ok for me to start the car with bigger injectors but with the stock ecu. It might be a stupid question but i want to be 100% sure because i don't want too much fuel being pumped when its not supposed to.
 
It depends on how much bigger the injector are!
 
Any way to tune the fuel? I would feel beter if you could turn the fuel down a little at idle. To much fuel could damage rings and bearing.

But if your starting it up for a couple min's, you should be fine.
 
Oh I didnt even notice he was N/T. Yeah in that case you'd be running like super rich. I would try to find a set of stock injectors, I think I might have a set of stock N/T injectors from a 6 Bolt in the garage if your interested..
 
Well the car used to be turbo that's why it has big injector's. So it has low compression pistons. I don't know if any of you saw my other post of the inside of my engine it has je pistons and eagle rods so its not a stock engine. I was wondering the engine will be ok with the lower compression piston's in it.

If the only thing that was removed is the turbo, then you should be fine. We can only assume these larger injectors were installed and somehow managed properly. If that's the case, then you should be fine. Larger injectors in and of themselves won't harm your engine as long as there's something there to control them. Pistons with lower compression ratios also won't hurt, but you might notice less power when compared to a stock 420A.
