FWD stage 5cal

[Csx254]

Cindy,

I received my stage 5 cal and put it on my car. It runs REALLY bad. It doesn't idle at for anything, it dosen't want to accelerate un less you have it to the floor, and it spiked at 24-25psi !!!! Something isn't right. Help! I have "3 exhaust, +20 injectors, and a 3 bar map. Am I doing something wrong, or is there an internal problem with the cal?

Thanks

Lee

I would try calling. I know the past month has been hell for all vendors with all the car shows going on. Every one should be getting back from SDAC now though.

Isn't all FWDP stage 5 cals with +40 injectors and you have +20?

... oops.

remove the cal immediately until you upgrade injectors... or kabbang...

It seemed to be running rich more than anything. At idle it was blowing black smoke. I did remove it, but would it make it spike at those high boost levels just because of a smaller injectors?

Heh, heh, .. oddly enough you might be OK ... they are pretty rich. I've got a Buick FPR in mine (the 45psi static Bosch) and it's still a little fat at 25psi boost w/+40's.

Play it safe though and get with Cindy.
