When i bought my 240 it was a recovered stolen car, it had a box in the back of weird parts mixed around in it ,including injectors. Well the time has come where i have a HUGE enrichment problem i mean to where my car wont run for more then 10 sec. before flooding. I took my fuel rail off and i noticed only 2 of the injectors were the same! lol.Well i took it to napa and they said many things could be causing this enrichment including a failing FPR, the MAF sensor ground could be coroded, or fuel could be leaking past the injectors directly into the manafold by dried out o-rings. Ive decided to buy new performance injectors from deatschwerks becuase im planning to go KA-T anyways so i might as well address the fuel now. Im looking at there 480cc set becuase there not to much more then 4 OEM replacments from checkers.. Anyways my Q is are there any issues that i need to address with a injector size like this without a fuel pump/ or tuning? I know new injectors wont fix my rich problem it will just make it worse, but i tested my FPR and it was stuck.. so i will replace that as well. Anyone try this injector size without any tuning, will the stock ECU correct itself enough to run good enough? thx for all your support because i need to get this peace back on the road soon

Stock ECU won't correct and it will run even richer, don't do it without some way of controlling them, SAFC, ROM Tune etc.

Yep, the ECU doesnt know you installed bigger injectors. So it will try to control them just like the stock 270cc's. You have to tell the ECU using a piggyback (SAFC) or get a retuned ECU from Enthalpy, JWT, or BikiRom.

its good to get the ecu out of the way now too, because then when you get the turbo stuff done youll have it already

basically spend the money now or later

fix the problems now before you start doing the turbo stuff because the problems will stay and then when you get into the turbo stuff it'll just get worse and harder to diagnose... try to not spend a lot of money but properly diagnose the problems without just getting new stuff and dropping it in to see if it fixes the problems or not. that usually doesn't work anyway. plus getting larger injectors will require a controller as said above. if you want to stick with the stock ecu and rom/daughterboard or whatever tune it, you will want to get these problems out of the way before jumping into all of that, especially if you don't know a lot about cars. but even if you do it will make things easier later.
