ok but thats your opinion and your entitled to it just like im entitled to hack up my car and do an engine conversion cause i was tired of rotarys

 

I never ha da chance to race my NA at the track but I raced a mazdaspeed protege and barley beat him. Don"t those run like 14's or something.

I had a streetport and intake and stock exhaust at the time and thats it......

 

It's actually not my car, but I haven't heard anyone beating this time yet.

It was done by an old TeamFC3S member, and his name was Andrew-something.  This is the FASTEST stock ECU NA (I think it was an '86 or '87 Sport model) I've ever heard of.  It had all the typical upgrades - full exhuast, intake, CDI box, light flywheel?, and decent tires.  I think the engine was rebuilt and slightly ported, but I might be wrong on that.  I know he was messing with the "automatic" ECU, and got a few more HP out of it with his testing on a dyno.  I think the car dyno'd around 170hp at the rear wheels on a DynoJet.  The car managed to twist two rear axle shafts, and he gave up after that - I've never heard of an NA doing this!

Twisting axle shafts?? Damn, I've been running my turbo for about a year and a hlf now, at around 250 hp minimum. Never had that problem. I did go through one tranny so far though.

 

NA half shafts are significantly thinner than turbo ones.

Mine should run low 14s with the SAFC tuned, but its not. And I wont be running the N/a anymore, I just got a 408rwhp AE.

 

i have a full 4 port bridge 13b (using jdm s5 TII housings) tII trans gutted all the way with one seat and some homemade solid motor mounts (going to be a VERY bad dd) im still in the process of building just cant make up my mind to go carb or f/i wishing for 11s with a 175 shot

 

I'm sure I'm not alone (but definetly in the minority) when I say I don't care about 1/4 mile times, I care how fast the acceleration is when you're on the freeway @ 70 mph, downshift to 4th, and kick 'er in to play with the Civics with the lawnmower mufflers!!!

 

what about when you run up on a redneck with a fox body that has a stroked 338 and a vortech?


BTW: not trying to sound like a *** thats just what helped me make my mind up on going bp

 

i had heard a rumor long ago from a mazda tech that an ecu from an auto tranny rx7 was different than the 5spd and made slightly more power but i asked on the forum and everyone said they were exactly the same, does anyone actually know? i mean i guess someone would have to look at the fuel maps and everything but its an interesting idea.

 

Interesting...I wonder how drastic of a difference the AT ECU is from the MT one...

Btw...thanks Ted .

 

14.8@95ish and my fast mph was a 15.0@98mph. Full trim. With AC, PS etc. No weight reduction whatsoever. CJ

 

GTUsPA over at teamfc3s.org has run in the low 13's with his n/a it is the fastest i have seen

 

yea... didnt he end up selling his car though??
