that's not a poormans r. that's a b17.

 

yea you should be ok i think 12.5 is almost over the edge just make sure its 91 oct and up

 

bump

 

lol

"Poorman's R" is a B18C1 GSR block not the B17 block. You're basically making a another B17 setup...

If everything is fresh, I would NOT drive an hour and a half with nothing. At the minimum get a basemap chip, even that is not full proof that you won't ruin your rings.

X2 agreed.

Better yet, just tow your car to the dyno and break it in.

set the timing at the distributor at the stock 16*btdc. if you have a basemap you can use that to gingerly drive to your tuner. if that's not possible have it towed there.

 

Would you rather pay to have it towed? Or would you rather pay to have it towed AND pay for new engine parts. If you end up getting a shitty ebay basemap and you get half-way there and your engine starts to take a dump on you, not only will you have to get a tow anyways, but you may have possibly damaged your new engine.

At least see if you can get a half-decent a/f. Know anyone close to you with a wideband?
