I did a search of pics of Bob chips that have been for sale. On the inside he writes Extreme, Extender or Gen 2 with the 'burn' number.

I never said the 009 chip was an extender chip. I do have one but it was for when I had pipe dreams of racing the car. I thought I was told that if the Translator was set at all "0" a non extender chip would work.
 I have to look threw my "files" (yeah sure...) I have them somewhere. I'm sure I got the Translator from Full Throttle. I doubt they have records back that far.

Translator Instructions. Mode-All others-Turbotweak- On On On Off

http://turbotweak.com/translatorinstructions.pdf

All others. Not sure if that means ONLY Turbotweak. I was always under the assumption you could only run Eric and Bobs chip with the Translator.

If you have the Extender chip...plug it in. Is it a street, race or alky chip? Is it for the 009's?

Yup my bad!

Doesn’t look like and extender Bob uses a code by injectors, octane, boost and rev limit

hell, let's just call it an ECU

When funds become available grab yourself a Turbotweak chip from Eric. Best money you'll ever spend. The Extender is a race chip with 27 degrees of timing.

So when do we start the 009 injector discussion? Or isn’t that an issue anymore.

There's a discussion on 009s?

Which 009's do you have there are 2 a 30 lb and a 42.5.


A good set of 42.5 are more stable and flow more than 50's at higher pressure. Will that start the discussion?

I don't think so...

Initially, most people could not burn a good chip for the 42.5# 009's as the flow curve had a knee in it right off idle and many burners only knew how to change the injector constant so they could not get the curve right for all throttle positions.

Steve Yaklin, Eric, and Bob burned good chips for them as they knew how to tweak the individual settings rather than just shift the entire curve up or down from stock.

If that chip is for 30# injectors and the actual injectors are 42.5#, then that would create the situation.  I am thinking the chip is not one of Bob's which would screw up the curve if the translator is set for an Extender.

Best advice is to double check the numbers on the injectors and get Eric to burn a new chip for them.  Then reset the Translator to work with eric's chip. 

Hopefully, the injectors are not stuck open due to a gummed up condition.

Injectors are D3181AA's=42.5 GTG
 So its someones good idea to get a chip burned from TurboTweak.(my pension check came in...LOL)  Gonna presume the injectors are ok and go from there. Just to keep it simple. I'm at the point in my life now I like it simple. Hopefully after it's in, the car will start and idle without issues and I'll be able to get on to finishing the rest of the car and drive it before I die. :icon_fU:
But I'm sure I'll be back here to bother you guys about something...

Are you thinking of 40lb and 42.5lb?
