- Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:34 am #60287 There's no reason to tune a stock motor. If it doesn't run rich in a GSR it shouldn't run rich swapped into a Civic. Are you running the correct ECU? Injectors? Are your coolant and IAT sensors working properly? Was the engine running good beforehand or was it a JDM import? Did you check the compression? Did you get the valves adjusted?

How much did you get yours tunned for?

I concur. Using a chipped ECU is the best way to not have your engine run right. Unless you're running a setup that absolutely needs it to function I say stick with a stock ECU.
