sup , new to forum, new ?

Yea I bought a FD last month(the follow up on the FC)
It has slight mods:
intake
exhaust, downpipe
jspec turbos
hks BOV

Well I installed the 2 piece pulley kit from Greddy.(bypasses the air pump) I figured I practically got it for free so I put on this week. I had it so why not install it type deal. Well it runs quicker and a lil more responsive.
But the idle is a lil rough(almost wants to idle off) What can i do to cure this real quick? Is their an idle screw like the FC had, or should i do something else? thanks , Ant

Did you removed/disconnect the air pump?

I don't see a mid-pipe in your list of mods (unless you lumped it into "exhaust").

If you don't have a midpipe and you removed/disconnected the air pump, you are going to clog your cat.

If you do have a midpipe then it's ok to remove/disconnect the air pump. However I hope an upgraded computer will be on your list of mods real soon.

No, I don't use a reprogrammable ECU, I'm using an upgraded one though. I use a Hi-Flo cat instead of a midpipe since there are emissions testing in my area (and I don't want to smell like exhaust all the time).

Usually, you probably end up using MAPs from others instead of reprogramming it yourself.

Rotary engines don't like detonation, so it doesn't take much to kill it if you are trying to tune it yourself without the proper tools. Check out this person's story:

Unless you have the proper tools, it's not recommended that you do your own tuning.
