GOT WANKEL?
i got 18 last fill up. exhaust and a carb rebuild helped get me form 13 to 18-19. easy way to do it- shift at 2500 and one day a week or so get some carbon out of there

Avoid opening the secondaries when at all possible. With the mech mod, you should be able to feel through the gas pedal when you get up against the secondaries (it will be a little stiffer).
Other than that, make sure your tires are inflated and your brakes aren't dragging. Drive only down hill with a tail wind maybe?

Even with the old MSD direct fire,my N/A setups only got about 10-12 around town and maybe 18-19 on the highway.Ditto on the secondaries,my easy open vacuum secondaries made a big dip in MPG.
The ignition is DEFINATELY an area that could use improvement on the FB.Even if you dont go with a full MSD setup and super-duper coils,a lot can be gleaned by just stealing from the FC's improved design.Add the stock FC leading coil and then direct fire/wasted spark that juice directly to the leading plugs.The FC coil is very hot and known to be reliable up to 400+HP.
With each generaton,Mazda improved upon the rotaries ignition system.... from dual distributors,to dual points,to electronic,to directfire,to crank fired.....it always improved,and rightfully, so because rotaries need all the fire they can get to ignite the abundance of fuel in that long,goofy combustion chamber....which itself hasent changed much since the beginning.

Sorry to hijack, but quick question. I am new to the carb scene (just bought an 85 GS). I have secondaries and when they kick in, the car almost bogs and "hic-ups" and then takes off. Almost like turbo lag. Is this normal?? Is it b/c the car is running way to rich? (which it is)
Thanks!

Heh,heh.....more than half of my car is FC!
Although I run an FC engine,I did run directfire/wasted spark MSD on my old N/A engines and it made a marked difference in idle,power and economy.It also
The FC coil is just a very powerful twin tower coil.It will fire both leading plugs at the same time,just like the stock FC setup.This not only adds another leading plug firing near the end of the power cycle,but it also allows you to bypass the distributor cap,eliminating the need for the juice to run through the carbon button and then to jump an air gap to get to the wires/sparkplugs.
You can probably run the stock FB ignitor into the FC coil like stock or better yet,figure out which wires are which and use the FC ignitor thats mounted on the FC coil.The FC ignitors arent known for failing like the FB's.

Any 2nd gen leading coil will work,they are all the same from 86-92.
Be sure you get the leading coil.Its the one thats mounted up front by the battery.The ones in the back,by the brake master cylinder are the trailing.They are two totally seperate coils with seperate ignitors.Should be cheap on Ebay or from a wrecker.Ive never heard of one failing,but of course its possible....
There are also aftermarket dual post coils out there you can use for direct fire.You can even push a pair of individual coils off an MSD box.I used a pair of Blaster 2 coils with my MSD6 before going TII.The FC option is just a cheaper alternative and its a damn powerful unit right from the factory.

Check the FAQ section for directions on the 2nd gen direct fire. I did this myself and the results are impressive. You won't be able to use the 2nd gen ignitor though, unless you get the transistor unit (which is still in progress). Check out the "transistor trick" thread that is always running on or near the top page.
For now, just go with the standard 2nd gen mod. Metallic rock put together a decent set of instructions for this, which is in the FAQ section. There is also another thread (I believe) in the archives.

1. Follow Sterling's instructions on how to improve the accelorator pump for a bigger squirt (check the FAQ section, or www.sterlingmetalworks.com).
2. Wait until you are at higher rpms before you floor it.
3. Open the secondaries a little more slowly at first, but this takes extreme foot control and is pretty tough to do sometimes.

I usually get 17 MPG in the city and anywhere from 26-29 on the highway. That's in US miles per gallon, BTW. I have seen no real difference in MPG vs granny shifting at 2.5k and shifting at a more reasonable 4k. I've even tried cruising at 3k in 3rd vs ~2k in 4th and have seen no real difference. On the highway the key seems to be cruising at 70 MPH or so to get the best overall economy. Higher than that and the MPG goes down.
