Default Stock B18C1, Stock JRSC . . . . Does it need tuning?

Hey guys! I've just bought a JRSC from another member here (elpiar) and ofcourse want to install it immediately once I recieve it. My question here is with this basic setup, will I need to go to someone who tunes FI or will the JRSC instructions as far as tuning (10 deg BTDC) suffice for now.

I'm a little bit worried b/c I used to have a stock D16Z6 and ran a stock JRSC on that and I had a rod knock after a month.

Thanks for all your help.

What is there to tune except through the distributor?

fmu and dizzy retard if you are daring.
Injectors and chipped ecu if you are smart.

Personally... the only option i support is chipped ecu, injectors and a Tune. The rest are just bandaids.

From the consensus, the smart thing to do is to save up for a ECU & injectors huh? Its the way to play safe I guess. I'm just itching to install the SC though. But with the JRSC FMU and Map box everyone here says their just "bandaids". I was hoping I could run this setup for a while until I could save up for the ECU.

you can run that set up for a while, but the smart thing to do in the future is plan to get a chipped ECU, injectors and tune....

Thanks guys.

I recommend you read over: http://www.phearable.net/tech/....html

Then find a local tuner in texas via the tuner directories listed on http://www.phearable.net/tech

You know you can use the basic jrsc fuel setup if your only running 6-8 psi, until you get a chipped ecu. I used the jackson fuel bandaids for years in the 1990's with no problems. I ran 15 deg. timing with 93 octane, the car made 220 whp @ 6psi like that.

Not the best way, but it will work
