That is why you need to tune in cold weather when the engine makes the most power. Then in summer it is very safe.
Not knowing which ecu you have: The PFC has a "Air Temp vs Injector" table that changes fuel based on air temp. When properly used, it prevents such leaning out problems.

yeah only problem is that I didnt have the funds to go single right now, let alone replace my engine. this is my 2nd engine in 2 years. im just afraid if i get another one, port, single, ect. that the same ting might happen again. spending an extra 4k a year on engines is not fun at all.

here's an idea - install a stock port motor, install a cat, install a stock ecu, install boost controller. keep boost at 10 PSI. can't blame bad tuning then.
just kidding, kinda...
in over 8 years of owning, modding and racing rotaries, i've never blown a turbo rotary. i just don't understand how some people go through them so quickly. good luck on your next one.

Seriously, if you're on a limited budget, don't want more problems, but still want to keep the car, that's what I'd do. That's basically what I have, and it'll still easily do >150 mph, and is more than enough to get me into serious trouble if I'm not careful/alert.

i was doing 150+ cuz i was racing on an empty highway and do not wish to debate the smarts in doing that. im aware of what could/might happen when im doing that.
im not saying it was the tuning either. the car started running rich/lean/rich/lean. i let off of it but i guess it was too late. i believe i had a problem other then tuning with my fuel system.

I think the next car you build you should use an Electromotive ecu. Im no "expert" but I live next to Defined Autoworks and every time they get a blown car limping into there shop the unprecise power-fc seems to be a big factor. I have been running my Electromotive for a while now and have had no problem with my engine. I do know the my Electromotive uses a 60 tooth trigger wheel unlike the PFC wich uses the cars stock one.
