###i Am Damn Angry###
i have been trying to figure out my boost issue and i have done nearly everything there is to do and still i can`t get a normal boost pattern.
last week i was getting 6psi and the car would loose power and hiccup....i drove the car today after doing nothing to it and it was boosting 10 to 15 psi.problem is when the gauge says 10 or 15 psi the car is slower than a turbo II.
i don`t want to go non sequential even more now that i can`t figure this out.
i checked all my hoses intercooler couplings all my actuators and vac hoses what the hell man.....the only other thing i can think off is that my auto transmission has something to do with it but then again the transmission changes gears just fine.

I think, that unless you only have one leg, or are handicapped,
you should get a new transmission regardless,
maybe this time make the obvious better choice, and get a standard 5 speed manual.
unless, like I said, you have one leg, or are handicapped,
in which case, you're still cool for having an RX-7,.. even though your handicapped or have one leg.

What type of error codes if any do you have? It could be a number of things, you mentioned your AT? Well there is a AT-EC diagnostic module located next to the ECU that has a feedback circuit which controls the fuel injector status depending on transmission load factors.
It has blue connectors, try unplugging and plugging it back, maybe a loose connection? At first I was going to say you probably have some type of vaccum leak, but you covered it already.

CarbonFD3Assault-theres a big difference between the two.i said to my self do i want to spend $13,000 on a manual running fd or should i buy a good running automatic for $6500. the manual swap is about $1500 so thats $5000 i can use on modding the car my friend.
HawaiianRedMako-i will try to do so to see what happens.thanks

Mobeoner, you rock man!..
I had a bud who did in fact have only one leg, and he was pretty sad that he had to drive an auto, 'till he discovered you can do something called hand clutching,
now he's pretty happy.
I'm glad to hear you got a 7 at all.
it does make me sad though, because in Edmonton (Canada) I see alot of dumbass kids who buy autos and always talk about a 5/6 speed, but never do the swap.
but, regardless, I hope that you have a ton of fun with your ride man, they are awesome cars!!!!
PS: GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FIX MAN!
(remember, it's winter soon, maybe it's a good time to do the swap!?)

By the way, you don't need to pull the rear axle shafts off, just disconnect the wishbone, camber and toe in brackets. The auto and manual rear axle are the same. However the auto drive shaft is too short.
Unless you are rebuilding it yourself, expect to cash out $2,500 to $3,200 just for the 13b. Clutch, starter, differential, engine plate (if using existing motor), engine harness, master/slave cylinders, lines, stock standard ECU or PFC all add to the cost. If you can do it for $1,500 then all the best to you.
Let us know when you are finished?

i have done auto to manual swaps before just never to an FD but eather way i have seen parts floating around costing somewhere between $1500 to $2000 dollars but i am not interested in doing the swap anytime soon i just want to solve this boost issue and do all the most important mods like radiator-intercooler ect to make the car some what reliable, although we all know FDs are never 100% reliable.
