basically, I want to see if my FD fires up w/ my stock ECU... I have no plans to drive it until i get my power fc..

here are my mods...

Intake
Downpipe
Catback
Ported Motor
Non-Seq

I know if I do try, that I'll throw a bunch of codes since I disabled everything and clipped out the solenoid connectors...

I just want some piece of mind that I am safe to JUST start and idle my FD...

what do you guys think?

 

i'd wait

it'll certainly start and idle....

but i'd still wait

 

Just wondering if this would not be a good idea... but if i can with out any damage.. then i just might..

I've put about 3000miles on my new motor on the stock ECU. The AEM EMS is going in later this week. As long as you have good self control and don't mind crappy driveability you should be alright. I talked to Rob at Pineapple and he agree'd I should be OK if I keep the boost below 5lbs.

The thing was, I didn't want to break the motor in by beating the hell out of it trying to tune the new EMS. I was also waiting for more parts. Now that all the right parts are in and the motor it broken in, I'm ready to tune and I'm just waiting for my tuner to get some free time.

Good luck. BTW just cuz this worked for me does not mean it will work for you, and I take no responsability if anything bad happens. Peace.

 

thanks for the info... well.. i was just conserned since the connectors for the solenoids/AVC/AWS etc.. where all clipped off...
