Magnecor vs stock wires ...yes, no advantages?.
Initial lag on take off....wires, plugs, clutch maybe or vaccuum hose leaks?
Reviews on KD rotary for regular workups....I know ... NO DEALER
I've been reading about the ECU trick to remove the 3K lag?.... anyone with more directions?

thanks in advance,

sanjeev

I use stock wires and I'm putting down a decent amount of power. I had Taylor's that failed on me after about a year.

My dad's R1 had bad initial lag, and it turned out to be a combination of a torn IC coupler hose, loose bolts where the downpipe meets the cat (exhaust leak), and an incorrect (too small/restrictive) gasket where the dowpipe meets the main cat.

KD Rotary is an amazing shop, if you can get your car in to get worked on. Stay away from dealers--do as much of the work yourself as possible. No one (no one) cares about your FD like you do.

The best way (and only way I've found) to remove the infamous 3k hesitation is to get an aftermarket ECU. My Power FC cured mine entirely.

Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions

Hope this helps---
