Default My engine needs setting up......... (advice)

Hi. I have just finished building my 2.1 zvh and have it running in the car. I have been told to get it set-up before i do anything but is it ok to use the car as long as i dont boost up?

Any other tips would be most grateful and what actually is involved in a set-up. Thanks in advance

As Rudey Said...

'If' its massively overfuelling you could get bore wash and do the rings....or it could be massively underfuelling. You just don't know.

What management is it on? MFi? Or EFi?

You need to take it to a tuner to get it det and fuelling checked on the road.. you're unlikely to be able to run much boost with that setup..
