New JRSC Installation 1.6
Hi All, I guess this is an introduction post as well as a request for some help! I did some searching and didn't find anything relevant to my specific request.
I picked up a complete used JRSC kit with powercard from a running car, I installed it over a long weekend a few weeks ago with really no issues except for having to make a throttle bracket. ANyway, the install went smoothly, the supercharger got new oil and most of the hoses and filter new as well. I attached an image of the final product below. Everything seemed to be running well, I took it out and was able to hit boost comfortably over a few drives then I left for vacation.
I got back from vacation and a few new pars came in, I added the one way valve to replace the restrictor my kit came with in the IACV line. I tightened the serpentine belt a bit as I felt the power steering was not getting full power and it had about .75" of movement between the crank and tension pully. I also installed a high flow magnaflow cat. I checked the sprak plugs and they were a bit on the white side of brown, so I decided to get 1 heat range lower (NGK BKR7E gapped to 0.035"). After these changes, the car is pining. I pulled the BKR7E plugs and they were even whiter that the BKR6E that came out. I'm at a loss as I don't think I've done anyhting that would mess with the AFR. I don't have a wideband or any fuel controller, just the powercard that came with the kit. I verified its working, green flashes on ignition, steady with no other lights on during running condition. The small green LED comes on when I blow into the boost line and so does the yellow light, is this an issue? I reset the timing as well to 6BTDC. Should I pull more timing maybe? Fuel FIlter was changed when I go tthe car in 2019, so maybe thats next on the list, or maybe just crappy california gas.
Any help would be appriciated!

So I went and installed some NB injectors and a DW200 fuel pump and this seems to have worked!
Another question though, while I was doing timing, I noticed that sometimes the light would change pace, like slow down a lot to about 1/2 the flashes. it didn't seem to coincide with RPM change. is this a sign my coil packs might need replaced?
