Call me stupid but.
What will the tuner do when you get there?
Lean out the map to prevent bore wash Initially then re adjust to optimum?
The tuner will have the ability to scale the map for larger injectors so it starts up with close to ideal fuelling, they may even have a similar map from another car to load on to ecu for start up, either way it wouldn't take any longer than half a minute to adjust fuel at idle to correct a lean or rich condition upon start up.
dunc i think you mean "ping"? Anywho, i would not drive it, thats rather high compression to be running on a stock ecu. Over fueling on a new engine can wash the cylinder walls of their precious vital oil that the piston rings need to break in. If you over fuel on the way to the dyno your pistons can overheat, expand, and grind up against the cylinder wall and cause A LOT of damage, i have seen this happen countless times. Just tow it, be safe, if you drive it, it's a massive gamble!!
Agreed, stupid idea!
However,
Would it be possible to get a basemap chipped P28 ECU from scott at H tune for example which would make my car driveable? My dilemma is that I want to get my 3inch custom exhaust system fabricated and fitted before I tune the motor, and I don't fancy trailering the car everywhere.
The motor has around 2k miles on it
