Question Will this make my car run lean?????

These are my mods I have now that my car was Dyno flashed to: O2 HOUSING. TURBO XS DOWN PIPE, CAT DELETE PIPE, TURBO XS CAT BACK, WALLBRO FUEL PUMP, HALLMAN MBC.

Just installed the other day HKS rs Suction intake, Bushur Intercooler and today just installed 650 injectors tomorrow my 264/264 cams will be installed. I was worndering if this will F up my engine before I go get it reflashed later this week.

I was thinking if it would lean out the fuel to much......

Drive carefully...don't get on it...and do your best to stay off boost...your car can and probably will run lean because of the mods done after the dynoflash. Best to be safe then sorry.

You will actually run super rich from the injectors...

removing the cat or adding intake increases the air velocity. Increasing air means smaller fuel to air ratio. ==> leaner.

I'm located in Asia ... not too familiar with the term "reflash" what do you mean?

You mean reset the ECU?

Should be safe, just not ideal to change your intake, decat, exhaust etc ... to run ur car after these mods.

But if you add injectors, change cams, turbos, things like that, you'll need to remap the ECU for sure and do some proper tuning before you drive the car.

If you don't have a SAFC or some other piggy back then I would reflash because your car will be running very rich... These guys that are saying your car will be running lean obviously know nothing... I have similiar mods and had the car reflashed for the 660's I have and still ran a bit rich... btw, I have a wideband on the car so this is how I know...

Just to be more clear, wasnt saying your car was running lean, ur car should be running rich with the injectors. I was just saying that it be lean if only increasing airflow.

Did you get an after market regulator? You'll need it to tune the car right. Sard makes good ones.

Chances are you're going to run extremely rich, especially with the injectors. I ran rich as hell even after installing just my FMIC. Definitely have it retuned asap and stay off boost.

The only mod that you listed that would make your car lean out a bit is your intake, that's only from throwing MAF signals off as well.
