When we ordered up the FB premium kit (which came with 1000cc injectors) and the Hydra, the Hydra was pre-base mapped for the 1000's.
I inquired to FB, saying I knew I'd never run E85, and FB sent a different set of injectors (550's or 750's-not sure).
This set a bunch of fucked up issues into motion because the Hydra base map that should have gotten the car running, and have had the tuner well on his way to tuning, was mapped for the 1000's, car wouldn't even start, lots of scratching heads, then my tuner just started from scratch and tuned from point ZERO. This took WAY longer than it should have, but the tune now is pretty good, runs good, still not near the power it should be making, but this was my tuner's first twin, and I think he stayed on the safe side, tune-wise.
I know Phil at Element has had good success with the 1000cc injectors, as have many others (even though they're on pump gas only).
Soon I'm planning on tuning for higher boost, and making the HP that I built the car for.
One thought I had was to go back to the 1000cc injectors, start with the Hydra base map that was made for the 1000's, and start from scratch again and tune as Phil would, or even with his help, which he has offered.
Presently, the maps/tune/injectors is all different and all from my tuner. While the car runs good, and I know I have a safe tune, NOTHING about any aspect of the turbo install/Hydra/tune has gone smoothly. The car was at the shop for 4.5 months. I had to buy another car to drive because it took so long.
Not sure what to do now. I like my tuner, I think he's good, car runs good, just not making the power yet, and this weird starting thang.
I'm not driving the car much because I'm afraid it'll not fire up, so I usually just take short trips without stopping.
I'll get it figured out somehow soon though.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
