i have been working on my fc for the last 3 years or so but it just went turbo not too long ago. then i blew the turbo motor cause the stock computer couldnt handle what the motor needed. i went with a megasquirt system and 255 pump 720 secondaries and its great now. in fact its awesome. i was playing with the tuning today and i think i got it perfectly now. all through first and second if i just stomp on the gas, the tires break loose and blow away. its awesome. and its not from super hard tires either. im runing on 225 35 17's azenis. pretty pointless post but man its a great feeling when such a huge project finally rewards you. i hope to get it on the dyno soon and make sure my tune is good and maybe get it a bit better with a wideband. ill post my dyno sheet when i get it done. i love these cars

 

sounds cool. I would love to have a turbo rx7 as much fun as I have in my non turbo. But, I guess I will have to deal with my talon being my only turbo car for now.

 

i think im going to try and list every single thing ive done to it, just for fun.

i think there is more but like i said i just got it all together finally but now i have an oil leak to fix and i have to go through it all and clean up everything and its near impossible to list everything ive done to it.. just the replacement of all the broken plastic and things like heater core and logicon can take another 3 pages but its as mint as i can make it

*edit* oh yeah this is also my one-thousandth post. i didnt time it like this, it just happened. how sweet is that?

hey, just wanting some feedback on the 1.5 way kaaz LSD.. i'm planning on buying one with the next 2 months.
does it have ANY chatter, is there any sound coming from it at all? do you even notice it?? lol.
umm.. how much easier is it to break traction accelerating, deccelerating. etc.

 

it makes ALOT of noise! your car will start to understeer as hell when going on throttle while turning.. But if you are one of the guys how "drift" its the ultimate.. Youll find its way more controllable in a drift than an open differential. Anyway, i was going to use my driftcar on the road but the KAAZ is one of the reasons that im NOT going to do it :P

pics..sounds like you have a pretty good setup

 

ill get some good pics this weekend for you guys

 

You're impressed with the stock turbo?
Boy, you should take a ride in something with a full turbo upgrade sometime...

Anyone love close enough to this guy to give him a ride?

How did you tune the megasuirt without a wideband? I would think you are basically shooting in the dark...

 

yeah i have been in plenty fast rx7's including an fd that ran mid 10's. my goal with this car was to add 100 wheel horsepower and make it reliable. i succeeded and im satisfied.

im tuning with the famed butt dyno. im looking for streetability more than huge power so it suits me till we can fine tune it. playing with fuel till it doesnt stink from over rich conditions and no detonation is perfect for me since those both were huge problems with the stock computer.

 

hey, back to the LSD.. haha!
understeer when turning when you give it gas??
im sure you can play with the suspension to correct that right??
