I don't think we have one. Maybe he is talking about fuel cut? Get a fuel computer if you want to mess with the that. I bought an S-AFC of the internet for 290 with express shipping and insurance to boot. I am just waiting for it and my dual exhaust to install both and start tunning.

The filter in your sig is that a drop in or cone? if it is just a drop in get a cone intake. I did with my car and could tell the difference in acceleration. And it sounds a little better. Zoom Zoom.

there is no speed governer in north american rx7's... the japan ones had a speed limiter so you couldn't go over 100mph or something like like.

Hey scott!

Did you get that camera setup?
I am working on some brackets to hook mine up right now. All I need is a small VCR or an affordable camcorder to record onto.

I think I can have it ready in about two weeks and start posting some vids.

Having an S-AFC has NOTHING to do with fuel cut.

There is no governor on American (and Canadian) spec FCs. There is a rev limiter, but it only seems to work on 50% of cars.

My rev limiter seems to act at about 7500RPM...Taking it out won't do any good b/c the power curve isn't usefuk at all that high...at least on s4 na's
