Megasquirt Article on 1st Gen RX-7 in August Grassroots Motorsport

Hi guys,

I know a lot of you don't wander over to the megasquirt forum so I thought I would post this here as well.

In the August issue of Grassroots Motorsports Magazine we have a 5 to 6 page write up outlining the installation of the a Megasquirt system into my 84 RX-7 GSL-SE. You can see the mods in my sig. Jerry and the guys from DIYAutoTune along with rx7club.com megasquirt guru Ken Culver (muythaibxr) installed the system over a two day period at the Mitty.

I wanted to personally thank Ken for coming down from Maryland to help out and for not getting too upset when Per tried to kill him with a tree.

We saw a gain of almost twenty peak HP. The car is currently running great aside from an intermittent stumble from when the second injectors stage. We believe the timing is off due to having an incorrect pulley on there. With corrected timing and an S5 intake swap we are hoping to see another ten horsepower.

Look for all the details in the August issue which should be on newstands soon and in subscribers hands right about now. You should be able to find the magazine at Barnes & Noble, Borders, or Books a Million.

Or you can hop on our website and get a free trial issue. www.grassrootsmotorsports.com

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Greg

Good article Greg.

Also make sure to find the Re-Speed / Zoom-Fest ad in the same issue

Thanks for the comments guys. The car should have a small article once I get the RE-Speed rack and pinion in.

As far as I know we are not hiring at the moment.

We ran the car on a Dynapak system which apparently shows lower numbers than Dynojets usually do to the tune of 10-15% I am right at 160rwhp and hope with the changes to the intake and timing we will hit 175.

good work put in some 91 octane and set leading to 30*BTDC with 0-2* split and you might see more power at expense of wear and exhaust temp raise, but it worked for me. I run 27* on the street though.
