3k rpm stutter
ok, i've been reading on different sights (along with this forum of course) and i'm not sure i'm understanding what's going on... the car kinda stutter steps under hard acceleration at 3k rpm. i've seen ALL KINDS of explanations and don't know which one is it? for some reason the one that seems the most common, but least intuitive, is "bad grounding." lots of people suggested that a set of "hyper ground" wires would correct it. is this true? if it is, how does that only effect it at 3k? if its not, what is the culprit?

No one is absolutely, positively sure what the exact cause is, and the results from adding additional grounding to the electrical system have ranged from good to none at all. All that is certain is that when you install a standalone like the PFC that the 3K hesitation disappears.

i intend to get a set of hyper ground cables (red, just because i'm trying to do red hoses, cables, etc. but thats not important) and would LIKE to go to a pettit ECY after i do a few modifications, does a new ECU ever fix the problem? its not like its driving me nuts, i love me car... all two weeks i've had it have been beautiful

so it sounds like, if its gonna bother me, i should probably plan on getting a PFC. i'm assuming you guys mean the Apex'i Power FC? does this act as an effect boost controller also?

The current issue of Performance Tuner magazine seems to suggest it can be fixed by replacing and securing the vacuum hoses. It also gained the subject RX-7 something like 20+ HP, if memory serves me. They replaced every hose with silicon and secured them with super glue. Anyone try this and report similar findings?

Its just one of those things, not just one part you can say causes that like mentioned above, its a troubleshoot problem.

Speedking: They reported the dyno (on a stock 93) showed only 200 HP. Upon extensive examination they found several leaking vacuum hoses. The article was basically trying to prove the point that with RX-7s, you're best bringing the car up to basic tune before you spend money on mods. The published dynojet charts seemed to prove their point, but hey, I'm only reporting what they said. On my FC, I can verify that if there are leaks to the 5th and 6th prt actuator hoses, you will definitely loose 15-20 HP. Still trying to figure how to fix those ports without tearing the intake and dynamic chamber off.

I'm going to be replacing my vacuum lines with silicone ones shortly. is that difficult to do? do i have to pull the enginer or is just removing the intake manifold, etc. enough? also, could i secure the lines with just plain-jane worm gear style hose clamps?
