^^agreed

im non sequential however its still a PITA to get beaten off the line by normal cars driven by grandma's cause your car is pratically n/a from idle to about 4500rpm..

i mean all the time, i mean ALLLLL the time ill be at a red light with cars next to me, behind me etc and when the light turns green i go, rev up to 3000rpm in 1st gear, switch to 2nd and i look in the rearview and the dude behind me is RIGHT on my ***!! i hate when that happens..sometimes i have to boost 1st gear and sometimes second to get away from people like that..i understand where that guy comes from, he sees a sports car and he thinks ill be quick leaving the light but he has no idea of what i have so the n/a short shifting kinda annoys him...LOL

thats my negative feedback on non seq

Some of us like having some low end torque and fast spool.

I agree with PVerdieck. Non-seq is for people who can't troubleshoot their turbos (in most cases).

to cut to the chase, the problem with boost spiking/creeping (any type of boosting past stock boost) on an FD is that the stock ecu simply is not mapped for any more boost, so it can't add more fuel...

you will probably creep with a full exhaust, so you'll need the wg ported, and the ECU tuned. 320rwhp is very doable on the stock twins, but you'll need the ecu (which you conveniantly already have ordered) and tuning. probably a fuel pump and an IC, since the stock IC is really bad.

congrats on your new purchase.

I just dropped my car off with jodeny for tuning...he told me about someone who fits your description that he's doing some work for. Really good choice. For 320 I would do all the bolt-ons and run 12 lbs of boost. Definitely keep the twins sequential.
intake (I'd do hard ebay pipes with K&N fliters and damian heat shield)
dp, mp, cb, greddy pullies and get rid of the air pump, a nice IC (I liked the m2 medium a lot), koyo or fluidyne radiator (I'd go with the koyo), power fc, and a good fuel pump. I'd also do a full tune up and have the car tuned. i think that should be well within your budget and easily do 320 to the wheels. Keep an eye on the injector duties but I'm pretty sure the stockers should be fine at that power level.

I forgot you'll also need a boost controller to set it and keep it at 12 lbs. Personally after my experiences I would go with an inexpensive manual BC. They're simpler and work just as well. Not to mention a fraction of the cost.

Manual controllers have a tendency to spike...which will cause detonation...might as well spend the money and do it right. The gredy profec b spec 2 is getting cheap. I just picked one up for 175 dollars and it has never been used. Plus you can adjust your boost with the push of a button.

Never heard that one before...They are a little less convenient...I'll give you that. What I have heard of is people messing around with their electronic BC while trying to get it dialed in and blowing up their engines.

There is nothing wrong with MBC's controlling spikes. They can be just as much of a pain to dial in as an EBC. However, since all they are doing is restricting the air, it makes the turbos a little less responsive. Not really an attractive option until it's temporary IMO.

^^i have a manual boost controller and i never had a problem with boost, high or low settings..

ill eventually switch to a EBC but like you said, people have a tendency to create problems cause they dont know what their doing..

Manual boost controllers are fine. So is the power FC once you get the orifice size correct. It really depends on what your looking for. Personally I use an adjustable orifice in the wastegate hose and then the Power FC for boost control. It works flawlessly.

Electronics have a much higher percentage of failure, simply because it's electronic. It has the same principle as a manual controller but instead of a spring and ball that can fail, now you have an electronic solenoid which may be precise but only until the point WHEN it fails.

^ As an example.



EDIT* I guess it's more of just getting lucky with preference.

Yeah, when i started, i had a whole lot of reading to do from scudini's site, to rob robinette's site, to how the rotary engines work, you definitely are in for a lot of work.

And btw im located in the iselin, nj area, so if you have any questions, or need help, just let me know! always glad to help.

If you prefer staying ssq, try running bnr III's i hear they are pretty good/reliable turbos too.

He's looking at making 320 hp. There's no need for the BNRs.

Congratulations on the FD......Welcome to the wonderful world of the Rotary!

ulost2my7, Forgot to mention that its a 3rotor "900hp" 20b.... Not the same motor in your car, which is a 2rotor 13b..... So don't get any ideas!
