after my little project that i think i spent less than 100 dollars for description listed here https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/after-2-weeks-t2-up-running-about-5-psi-more-boost-358915/. I went from 174.6 hps to 237.6 hps in 3rd gear and from 157.2 for torque to 224.2. needless to say i was only expecting about 200. when the guy ripped my car tha first time and i saw that graph my jaw dropped. i was fully expecting my car to blow up. On the way to the dyno this morning i was messing around and seeing what the car could do ( i drive it about 2 times a week at most) and i was watching the boost gauge . well it was creeping up to about 15 psi before the waste gate was catching it. the only thing i left out of the description is a custom TID. untill i had changed it i was only getting a max boost of 10psi. And now for some reason it will creep up to 15. so i was worried i would lean out the engine . but i asked the guy to monitor it . well it never really dipped into dangerous A/f's only in one point. but i have a walpro waiting to go in (should have done it yesterday) and a safc and boost controller soon to be ordered. but needless to say i pretty excited on what i pulled. the only other 7 he tested that pulled close to me was a 3rd gen at 235. But now i have some number to go by from here to know where i stand .

 

ohh hey wasup,, nice numberss man, which dyno u goto any form of tuning?
your frm hartford, do u know jay lambert he drives a cougar??, well i live in bristol too along with him, and he mentioned a friend in hartford with a turbo2??, wunder if i met u b4 i had a 87 supra...,
all thats changed to a rx7 now =)

 

wow, good stuff

 

yeah dude i know jay infact he was there when i ripped her today. and yeah i think i met you before.. you ever remember a blue cougar that was decked out ?? if so that was me .. i know that he knows like 2 or 3 people with turbo supras. i guess someone he knew has one that was all decked out and i guess no one had a setup like his and he was having problems getting some stuff worked out with it. but thats the last i heard about it . and that some one wanted to race me with their supra vs my 7. but that was when i had my NA . but yeah i know Jay , hehehehhe

And i do most of my stuff at bristol dyno. I will be doing some tuning fairly soon there. possibly in like 2-3 weeks once my safc comes in. but you got a 7 now?? what happened to the supra???

 

oh thats cool i've been there bunch of times, tuning different stuff,,
oh he was prob talkin bout steve in the white mk3,,,
hmm u got like an aftermarket hood on your cougar right, i think i remember,
oh i dunno just wanted a different car, , yea my 7 wont be running till next yr, its a 91 n/a just yanked the motor out today, doing a 13b-re on it

 

Your on borrowed time at 15 psi boost for a number of reasons.

1. Your intake temp will be too high
2. A ACVR won't help lower your boost. It will spool faster
3. If you have a FCD it "clips" the signal from the pressure sensor which means that the ECU stops compensating your ignition timing.
4. That's exactly how I blew my first motor. Even though it will run great for a while.
5. Just because the guy at the dyno says it safe doesn't mean he will pay to rebuild your engine.

I would get a Rtek ecu upgrade and port your wastegate more to the point of needing a new flapper valve.

 

interesting .. ill have to check this out

 

where would be a good place to buy 720cc injectors?? after eading the r-tek site. i think im going to do the 1.7 chip. and with that version chip you need to have 720 secondaries. so any good place to buy them ??

Actually my 87 T2 is very similar to yours except I still ave a air contoll valve and Im running 10 psi. I blew up my 89 T2 with 15 psi of boost. That was a good excuse to rebuild it. Anyway, if I wanted to make a 15 psi run at the track I would run race gas and cooler spark plugs. Things that would also help are a FMIC or water injection. The problem is like a diesel engine that has no spark plugs you can detonate gas before the spark. As your engine compresses the air/fuel charge heat is created. If enuff heat is created it detonates with no spark. Running lean makes heat. Exceeding the design effiency of your stock turbo makes heat.
