where did this power come from in my 91 N/A?
 

so today i was doing just a little bit of clean up and small work on my 91 N/A, i replaced my ignition wires to NGK 8mm wires, replaced my belts, and ran some injector cleaner through my engine. when i drove right after that it seemed like i had more horsepower or somthing. it would accelerate much faster and just not stop pulling. im guessing that i had some clogged up injectors or somthing but any ideas welcome. maby if i can figure out what it is i can go through and intentialy clean or fix it so i can squeeze some more juice out of my 91 N/A.

thanks

I would say clean the actuators, but if it is still pulling (even a bit harder) after 35-3800 rpm then those seem to be working just fine. Probably just the good ol' tune up that made way for some extra ponies :)

well whatever it is im glad i did it. ill take a look at the actuators though and clean them up anyway lol now i can stomp all over those kids in their hondas with a spoiler and exhaust system even harder then i have been ;)

If you really want to stomp all over them and have to do something NOW, get an RB header and pre cat.

If you allready have them start saving up to go turbo.

ya i got some modded PaceSetter headers with a custom 3'' HKS exhaust setup and a cat delete. if i had it my way i would go turbo but being unemployed isnt helping lol i do plan on eventually doing a streetport.

You ought to get coilovers, all new bushings, some nice rubber... And chase the touge!

i would love to get some coilovers and lower my stance more then anything right now but im broke :( any suggestions where to get any cheap?

NEVER EVER cheap out on coilovers. If you want good but relatively cheap coilovers, use Ksport's. They are quality coilovers and will be durable enough to last a while being daily driven. I've got a buddy with the kontrol pro system on his 240, and they feel great. Not too stiff, and not too soft. These can be adjusted, but with how he has them, they're perfect.

I know how it is being unemployed... Once you get a job, look into some Tokico HP's. They're not coilovers, but they're pretty decent shocks for the price. I love how mine ride with my Tein S-tech springs. The springs are EXTREMELY close to the tires, so this set-up may not work for everyone.

my guess is that the ignition leads where duds on the leading side,, changing them out has restored the ignition some 15 degrees more advanced than running on trailing alone
-and so you have more power

if the trailing side was dud most would not even notice the difference when it was restored
meanwhile restoring a faulty leading ignition makes an obvious improvement

ya iv look around abit and noticed that alot of people like the Ksport setup. what about ISC coilovers? they are around the same price and seem to have good build quailty but havnt heard of anyone using them on their 7.

no idea what any of that means lol im not a big electrical guru. but sounds like you know what your talking about so ill start reading more about the electrical systems.

LOL you really should. Not knowing the difference between leading and trailing is pretty lame . And u call yourself a rotary enthusiast.

usually when it starts running like a champ is when i start enjoying that last tank of gas because i know this engine is not going to make it through another one.

iv never called myself a rotary enthusiast lol this is my first rotary iv ever owned. i just never gave the electical aspect of vehicals to much thought, iv always work on body and paint with a little bit of engine work here and there, nothing to big though

Everyone on this board is an RX enthusiast of some form or other....u are a poser. LOL

Nah... We were all new guys once. I am still learning new things every day.

look into upgrading air filter or even going intake, can be done on a budget... and than look into water injection cleaning, that is really cheap/or free if you use filtered tap water.

:icon_tup: Ditto!

You'll need a friend, 1-2' of vacuum line, and a container of water. You sit in the car and hold the RPMs at ~3K they put the long vac line into the container and the other end onto one of the nipples.
Then it'll smoke like mad. Use about a gallon of water. After the water's exhausted, restore the original vac connection and wait for the exhaust to clear up before shutting down.

I wish my learning curve was a bit steeper than it actually is lol. I know a lot of things, but good jesus my common sense level is just dragging through the dirt sometimes.

ok Rotary?Cool you need to just relax man, like Dwb87 said "we were all new guys once". and Hypertek i do have a K@N cone on it right now and i plan on cutting a hole behind the right headlight and running some piping down through it so i have a my cone sitting behind the lower opening thats on the side of the OEM front bumper, but that water injection cleaning strikes my intrest. and derekcat thanks for the infor on how to do the water injection cleaning.

I'm cool :) just giving the guy shit.... Not knowing the difference between leading and trailing is like not knowing where the blinker fluid goes. LOL

I remember when I was a newb. All I did was research on here trying to learn about other peoples issues so that when I had one I would have a clue. The "search" button is your friend remember?

Google as well. I find google works even better.

well i am a "noob" and i know it. i was just curious about my question

Don't worry I am the same with those piston style contraptions
