Default high idle - jdm gsr motor with typeR ecu

My car is a 97 civic hb, with a 97 jdm gsr motor...

here are my mods:
ctr cams
skunk2 throttle body
skunk2 intake manifold
blox velocity stack
blox air cleaner
benen fuel rail
b&m fuel pressure reg
b&m fuel gauge
dc sports 4-1 header
Mugen twin loop catback with magnaflow high flow cat

I just installed a P73-003 ecu, adjusted the fuel pressure to 50, although it idles around 1100-1200... seems kinda high.... what do u guys think?

Not that high, but if you want it lower adjust the tb.

so 1100-1200 is fairly normal?

do you know which way i should adjust the throttle body? clockwise or counter clockwise?

Take it somewhere to get a "base" tune. You have....
ctr cams
skunk2 throttle body
skunk2 intake manifold
blox velocity stack
blox air cleaner
benen fuel rail
b&m fuel pressure reg
b&m fuel gauge
dc sports 4-1 header
Mugen twin loop catback with magnaflow high flow cat
So go get a base tune. You have all these parts on a ob2 (if I'm not mistaken) ecu and you didn't mention it was tuned. OBD2 ecu's aren't as forgiving on "dropping" in parts in a motor. It looks to me you need a tune....


On an ignorant side note....

Rotating the Throttle body? Please, sell your car and get a Hybrid.......

so you think not having a "base tune" is what is causing the high idle? everything else feels good, just idlying seems kinda high...

Not talking about rotating the tb, theres a idle screw on it. I cant remember which way it is exactly but just turn the car on and screw in or out. If the idle sounds like its getting higher your going the wrong way.

EDIT: just noticed you have a skunk 2 TB I dont know if you can adjust those. If you really do want the idle to go down then you will have to get a tune, that would also get some extra hp out of all your mods.
