Is it safe???

I gotta pass smog and still getting that damn misfire. Running totally low on ideas after trying everything. I was gonna put back in the 360CC injectors and get rid of the SAFC 2. But I have 15G turbo's. Can I drive on this setup? Should I lower the boost since it's set at 12 psi? Please help.

Ron

What boost can I run with 15g's stock injectors and walboro 255 LPH Hotwired.

My stock injectors reached 100% injector duty cycle at 8psi in 2nd gear with my 15G turbos. This tells me there's not much left at higher PSI.

Other useful tidbits:
600 feet above sea level
Supra fuel pump (not hotwired at the time)

Yes you can run 15G turbos on stock injectors, but certainly not at 15-16psi like others have suggested.

yo Ron, I wouldn't go past 12-13psi honestly, we have piss 91 octane out here.

On 9B turbos my stock injectors didn't reach 100% duty cycle until 14-15psi in 2nd gear. Switching over to 15G turbos brought this down to 8psi. That's a significant drop when you compare it in this manner.

I'm aware we can go above 100% duty cycle, but I don't recommend anything that's potentially unsafe that's why I left it out of my last reply. Potentially running on the ragged edge is not my thing.

The problem with someone running xx psi at high elevation cannot be replicated safely at a lower elevation because fuel will run out sooner (more oxygen molecules, more fuel). So don't get comfortable that just because someone else can run safely doesn't necessarily mean you can.

my house was 17' ASL

my work was approx 10' ASL

my drive to work took me to maybe 50' ASL


regarding matt running xx psi on stock injectors....i agree.

Only because he has the "need" for SPEED....

Bob. ;)

("we" should buy Matt a "FIT" or a "Prius" and MAKE him drive it daily....it would make him CRAZY!!!)

What does that mean?

Basically this means that the the car's computer has detected that not all of the engine's cylinders are firing properly.

A P0300 OBD code indicates a random or multiple misfire. If the last digit is a number other than zero, it corresponds to the cylinder number that is misfiring. A P0302 code, for example, would tell you cylinder number two is misfiring. Unfortunately, a P0300 doesn't tell you specifically which cylinder(s) is/are mis-firing, nor why.
Symptoms
Symptoms may include:

* the engine may be harder to start
* the engine may stumble / stumble, and/or hesitate
* other symptoms may also be present

Causes

A code P0300 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

* Faulty spark plugs or wires
* Faulty coil (pack)
* Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
* Faulty fuel injector(s)
* Burned exhaust valve
* Faulty catalytic converter(s)
* Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
* Faulty camshaft position sensor
* Defective computer

What does that mean?

* the engine may be harder to start (Engine starts fine)
* the engine may stumble / stumble, and/or hesitate (Yes sometimes)
* other symptoms may also be present

Causes

A code P0300 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

* Faulty spark plugs or wires (Replaced multiple times, no change)
* Faulty coil (pack) (Brand new, less than 2 years old. No change)
* Faulty oxygen sensor(s) (All 4 replaced, no change)
* Faulty fuel injector(s) (Replace a few times, No change)
* Burned exhaust valve (New ENGINE, no change)
* Faulty catalytic converter(s) (Replaced 2 years ago, no change)
* Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages (Passage and Valve replaced, no change)
* Faulty camshaft position sensor (Yes I even replaced this with no change)
* Defective computer (Also been replaced with a diffrent one twice, no change)
