computer question
ok im in the middle of doing alot to my car and i was going to buy a power fc but im thinking on not getting one and getting a remapped comp that is set for 400 whp at 15 lbs. all i wanted was around 400 anyway and the price diffrence is alot and i would also get an afc with the remapped comp any opinions. money is an issue so dont say pfc just cause its better i already know that. i just want to know the reliability of a remapped basically.

You cannot run 400 rwhp on any mapped ecu. Nor is the S-AFC usable on an FD.
If you are pushing for that kind of power, you NEED a standalone ecu such as the PFC, Haltech, Microtech, Wolf, or AEM. The PFC is by far the easiest install and setup of the standalones and, combined with the datalogit, does nearly everything you'd ever need an ecu to do.

Please don't take offense, but it doesn't sound like you are familiar enough with the FD to mod the car yourself to those power levels.....I would contact a good tuner/shop in your area (I believe Demetrious is the THE rotary guy in that part of the world), tell them your goals, and let them put together your setup and tune it.

which ecu are you talking about? what mods will you have?
for 400hp you are probably talking about a single turbo upgrade. most remapped ecus that i am aware of are mapped for stock twins and i think stock injectors. by mapped we are talking about injector sizes, timing and fuel maps etc. which would be different for a single turbo application.

In addition, there are many advantages of running a good standalone vs a remapped ecu -- smoother operation, sensor monitoring, datalogging, adjustability of MANY parameters (temp fans come on, etc).

I can't understand why anyone would want their RX-7 to produce much above 300 HP for driving on the street. At that level, it is faster than just about any other street legal car, still (it was really ahead of its' time).
To get your car above that 300 HP (out of the engine) level, you will be spending lots more money, you will have lots of trouble breaking parts like half shafts and diff mounts, and you will be constantly tuning the car to keep it stable.
The exception is if you are racing the car. Then you would, or should, expect to spend lots, repair often, and have a hard to drive vehicle.
