car sputters when turbo kicks in
hey everyone..... new to the group, but not to rx-7's. i just did an 88' t2 swap on my 91' (dont laugh, i had a 91 se and an 88 turbo, decided to convert the two) anyways...... everytime the turbo kicks in, the vehicle spits and sputters for a second, then boosts great!! why is this???? it never did it when it was in my 88????? since i put the motor in i have done these mods....hope it helps
-apexi twin chamber blow off valve
-660cc primary and secondary injectors (or so i was told)(bought off ebay)
-3" catback exhaust
-custom intake
thats about it (that would affect the motor anyways)... the injectors might not be 660's, but they are 550's at the very least..

well a couple of things check the fuel filter and fuel pump strainer. Also check to make sure that your not to rich when your secondaries come on but I don't think this is the case. Um also what fuel pump do you have? the tII one or the n/a one??? hopefully the tii right?

I'd say there is a pretty good chance it's gone then. My 87 kinda went goofy when I hit boost ,I was running rich, and finally the strainer is on the end of the fuel pump, it's a little rectangle filter, they are only like 4 dollars from mazda.

if i'm not wrong don't our cars run rich enough as they are and if your secondaries are larger than stock wouldn't you have a slight problem with running rich when you hit w/o something to tune down the secondaries??
again i'm just assuming you don't have some kind of fuel controller since i didn't see you mentioning one??
