Hey guys, I have been on the prowl for a month trying to get my ca18det hatch done and running. I have finally found an ecu, and I have working 460cc injectors. My other upgrades are a t28 bb turbo from a sr20, and a z32 maf. 2.5 inch straight pipe to the back. The computer is chipped for the upgrades I have but with stock injectors, so using this would definitely have me way too rich. I searched 13 dsms in the area trying to find 390cc injectors, that is the closest to stock I can find in the US from a car in my area. No one seems to have any stock injectors for sale. Anyway, I have the software to emulate but no emulator yet, and I am not buying one right now just to get this car running. Can somebody burn me a chip to my specs that knows it will work and mail it out fast enough for me to get it this weekend? I will of course pay for it and shipping. I contacted a place on ebay but they didn't reply yet-now two days later. I need the car running this weekend so it can get broken in and any problems can be found so I can drive it the following two weekends at events.

yep

could always use a SAFC for a bandade as well if you have to have it running this weekend.

Yeah but if it doesn't start or something, troubleshooting will be a nightmare. I mean, it already will be with the z32 MAF and whatnot.

I could burn a chip for you but you'd have to come pick it up in Mint Hill tomorrow night.

If you feel confident pulling your chip (and not letting any static electricity hit it) we could pull the tune off it, open the file in Nistune, and change it to 440/450cc, then reburn it. I bought an EPROM reader/writer and a bunch of used 128bit chips off ebay that I erased.

Chip would be used at your own risk and you'd have to be patient as I only used the reader/writer once last year to pull a tune off my ecu and to erase a bunch of chips (I'd need to reinstall everything onto my new laptop and poke around on the software to familiarize myself again).

Anyhow, let me know.

Thanks guys. I am forced to give up on this. I was looking for solution to get the car running THIS weekend, I can't get the ebay sellers to guarantee a time on shipping. I am going to buy a romulator today. Why would I have trouble with a z32 maf?

***Edit, I misread you the first time, MB. I may have to hit you up this weekend or early next week if I am still in a pinch.

Oh and who's gonna spend 100 on stock sized injectors or 200+ on crappy SAFC? No offense, I have never upgraded any ecu til this car, every other has megasquirt! My RB20 is in progress with it. I would do this one too but I can't justify putting that in without a proven motor, the default maps never work really well.
