Here's a video from the engine bay ... the throttle issue was actually fixed, as seen in the first video posted, by just replugging the coolant temp sensor, I had to take it off because its not setup properly for cold start yet, and like this it makes it run.

nice now turbo it.

 

I'll be Supercharged with a Rotrex Supercharger

 

 

NIIIICE!!!!!!

The interior is so clean and light!!! (I am used to dark and dusty lol)

I have a similar wiring mess to yours lol..

Great job!! You must get some looks from people you drive past!

 

Thanks bud, ya but my wiring mess is just temporary, it'll be all cleaned up by the weekend. Its all the Carputer wiring. All the MS wiring is neatly done up, and is sitting where the stock Emmision control box sits, under the passenger's seats.

I get looks of frustration, so far only one person knew it was an rx-7, everyone keeps on telling me its an old school Ferrari

 

Nice interior!!! In my case, i own an 81 so the interior is different but i want to cover the dashboard with suede...but i want that leather with perfect stitches!

 

Well after driving the car for about a week and a half now, i think that I can post a review of the rack and pinion feel. The first thing you'll notice is how much more direct it feels, I still have a bit of body roll so doesn't turn in right away like I want it too but that'll get solved once I stick my triangulated strut bar in there. The quick ratio feel is pretty good in the city and on the highway, makes parking the car easier. If i were to compare it to something else that I've driven I'd say the Acura RSX type-s. Thats the kind of feeling you kinda get (minus the extra body roll on the initial turn in). Props to Billy from Respeed for the kit, I'll sure be getting more parts from him as he makes some more.

really nice car . . . looks like a really expensive job tho lol (atleast for me)

 

Well i just wanted to report back on some fuel consumption. This is where i'm really loving my MS, just lean when you're cruising around , I've been doing some driving around on the highway and city, and at AFR of about 15.5:1 or so, I've been getting nearly 30mpg and if just Highway the highest that I've seen it go was 33mpg, for a large street ported engine I would say thats pretty darn good . But if I switch over to my highperformace map, and have fun with my right foot, then we're seeing closer to about 10mpgs. Ahh the world of standalone. Who would of thought. I know the first time that I got my 30mpg, I thought there was something wrong with the gas pump detecting too soon lol, but then 3 other pumps proved me wrong.

 

wow. 30 mpg? Thats amazing. Great work. Now you just need to be able to have the computer know when you want the extra prower so that you get perfect gas milage on your rx. Once again great work

 

How is it that I only have 162cc's more than you and I can only achieve 22 mpg at best with my megasquirt? Lol

 

Sam,

Sounds great. Make sure you used the right conversion from liters, though.

3.78 liter/U.S. gallon

Since there is also the Imperial gallon...we don't use that one.

Glad to hear that it is running so nice.

Sounds like things are going good for you, I'm a bit skeptical of 30mpg, but either way it sounds like you have it dialed in nicely!

 

great job on the int,everything is neetly done

 

Well the metric that I went with was about 7.5L/100km, i usd one of the online calculators, and didn't really check that

 

wow that's pretty good hahah.. possibly as efficient as toyota prius Major comeback for the 7 haha..

 

I might have to jump on the megasquirt bandwagon if those numbers are correct

 

The calculation looks correct. I didn't double check the exact value, but 7.5l is real close to 2 gallons. 100km is like 62 miles..so roughly that is 31 MPG

 

how did you get your interior to look like that? ive never seen anything like it.

 

The interior? Thats all stock, have you never seen an 84-85 with the tan interior ... lol, jk .. thats all me, here's the links:

Always hard at work

 

I went and bought a webcam yesterday for my car, so we'll see how that works out. I wanted to atleast have something for my race on sunday. If I don't like the way it acts ... well atleast I can always return it. I'll post back once I have some footage.

 

Hey Sam, I won't be able to make it out to Cayuga with you on Sunday. Going to the States late friday night so I won't be back until after your gone.

 

Thats alright Chris. As a few more updates, I slapped my new rubber on there (Falken 912) and definatly noticed a difference under braking so far. Before I could easily lock up all the tires, now I think that I have more tire than braking power. We'll see how that changes when I get the Hawk HP+ in there though. Should be a good brake/traction balance like that. I can definatly feel that stiffer sidewall also with sharper turn ins. We'll see how that clutch will do (Carbon Kevlar compound, full face sprung) also. From there its race time

 

Well I have some bad news about my engine ... rear rotor is gone. Thanks to the Venom Injectors. When i flow tested them after the fact, one flowed 620cc and the other 820 cc. Running too lean on one side and detonated .. engine is being rebuilt as we speak to same things Street Port, I could of gone bigger, but I was happy with what I had. I could still get decent mileage and was a blast to drive.
