2.1 upgrade questions
i wanted to know once i update my 1.7 to the 2.1 do i need to have it tuned by someone or will it come from you guys preset? and is there any shops in southern cal that can tune it or do you guys give instructions on what to do as far as tunning it yourself?

I'm not pocketlogger but, it comes zero'd out. so basically stock, and unlike the 1.7 it does not retard timing 1 degree per psi above 9psi, so you have to tune it. Start rich and work your way down. See https://www.rx7club.com/rtek-forum-168/afr-tuning-methods-827389/ for more information about tuning yourself. No instructions, but you will need a WB02 gauge to verify Lean/Rich conditions.
I'm dunno about shops, but it is easy to use so I'm sure they could, but it takes longer to change some perameters (timing) than on other ECU's.
Best of luck!
