is it safe to run light blue injectors on a green chip or is the flow rate that different.all this would be on standard comp

 

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

 

whats that sorry tiff

 

Well you could just about make it safe if you turned the FPR down, but it would still be a long way from accurate at most points.

Why on earth would you want to?

If its all you have available and its just to crawl 2 miles up the road to the local rolling road it would be ok, but if its to drive around on then absolutely definately not!

 

no disaster in the making

 

run what injectors the chip was intended for ONLY!!!

 

Your not from Weston Super-Mare are you?

Only ask because a chap in a Magenta Saph went out racing Phil 2400 and SiB with that very combination (greens chip + light blues)......he deffo melted a plug.....and when the plug was changed it was still running on 3 cylinders, possible piston damage

 

reason for this is that my mate has got to take his car to be mapped on the blues but has only got the green chip,got to drive about 30 miles thou

 

Will survive that probably, its not like its a massive difference in flow rate, keep off boost though obvioulsy, and dont sit in traffic for ages

doug, how did that happen when light blues would run it rich?
sure it wasnt the other way round, ie a light blue chip on greens?

 

Well, why does'nt he drive to the mapping place with the greens fitted (and some tools in the boot) and then change the injectors over when he gets there?

 

IF he still has the greens, dougs idea is the best one

 

[quote="chip-3door"]No, it was a proper mis-match. Young(ish) chap, his first Cossie........standard T3 turbo (4x4) deffo light blues and he said it had a greens chip fitted. Also the plugs were HKS iridium (cost him Ł70.00 for the set

 

he sold the greens to fund the mapping
he has got the standard set up ie injectors chip and mapper but its the hassle of changing them all back when he gets there
and he,s no grease monkey either

 

Sharaine please dont drive the car on the wrong chip Contary to a Chip's comments.

 

tell him to put it back to stock for the journey up there then

 

tow it to the mapper

 

If he has th standard setup, definately run it on that

 

f**k that

 

make the car break down adn call the AA and get it towed !!!

 

If the guy can map it, he can fit 4 blues i am VERY sure. Its a max of 5 mins, 15 if you have to fit the kit and modify the pintle caps, which is another issue... you know they need modding right?

Maybe thats why Dougs fella melted his, perhaps he fitted std bosch pintle caps.. hic hic, splutter, purr..... pop!!

Be carefull out there folks...

 

Well i was also thinking this, im still mid build with my car and have a brand new set of greens and a stg3 chip, but my best mate wants to do a deal with a set of blues, my car has a t34, just got a 500 cooler and c/r is 7-2-1, along with the usual bits and bobs,

Would i need another chip to run the blues or can my car be set up on the chip i have?

or just stick to the greens and get it set up with them

 

The blues that your best mate is offering you - they are LIGHT BLUES yes?
I.E. not dark blues as fitted to standard T34 Es Cossie's?

You will need a proper chip to suit your engine spec

 

Yes mate light blues, So when i get my car set up will it make a difference to the chip i have because i`ve changed my c/r, or is that ok on a stg3 chip?

basically i want my car set up with the chip i have, and if i cant run the blues with it then i shall just leave them out, but is the chip going to be ok for my other mods, or will i need a different one to suit

cheers

 

Well the usual compression ratio for stage 3 on greens would be the standard 8:1 or 7.8:1 but you say that with your recent mods you've gone for 7.2:1 so IMO a "special" chip will be needed to suit that low comp spec.

 

MMM light blues ehh with your stage 3 chip, yes new chip me thinks ( ive been reading )

Or a " special " one as the other guy said to run low low comp

 

Oh its yourself rab a thought you were dead again so what you been reading

 

Cant talk to a dead guy ( thought u were dead to ) anyway

Ive read a few posts on this sort of thing lately
