I just completed building the new motor that will go in my 1g Talon. 4g63 block (shop decked the crap out of it), Evo 9 pistons, HKS 264/272 delta cams, modified 1g MAS, evo 8 valve springs, 4g67 head w/ valve job and resurface.

I plan on dropping the motor in this coming weekend. I have not yet purchased any kind of piggy back or tuning device for the new motor so my question is: Am i alright to run this setup without a tune until I can get a safc, or should I not run the car at all? This car will be my daily driver when it is running.

I am new to tuning so I am open to suggestions, please share your wisdom. Tips on alternate tuning devices would be great. In college, just build motor, cash poor :thumb:


Thanks in advance for the help,
Chris
 
If you have stock fuel (injectors and pump) and stock turbo you could probably kick it over, but I wouldn't really drive it without at least a logger.
 
Wow, quick reply, I have stock injectors and I run n/t.

would I need to advance or retard my timing by a couple degrees in order to run this setup with a slightly better tune? Again, I've no other means of tuning due to lack of hardware and knowledge. I'm still brushing up on the tuning thing.
