Yes it is but I cant say yet , I havnt tuned yet ........I do think it was very responsive in its last configuration though , I ran a 1.28 a/r rear end now I'm down to 1.0 and a GTX compressor so we'll see!

Small update , I am having some problems with the tune , ECU or the fuel system , I cannot pinpoint it yet !The motor will start fine and idle around 13.6afr then it begins to lean out progressively until it stalls , sometimes it idles ok but when I hit the gas it goes wayyy lean (20+) which also causes it to stall or not move at all ! so far I have changed injectors , re-plumbed the FPR , checked fuel pressures to and from the motor , removed the internals of the check valves ,checked voltages at thw pumps, turn off all limiters and compensations in the ECU and still nothing !! I am stomped right now.

I think that might be the case with my ViPEC too !!! when I stage the secondary injectors earlier (in vacuum @800rpm) the motor stays running and allows me to actually drive it! sooooo will be removing the ECU to do a last verification test in another car , if it does the same thing it will be going back for repairs .

Waiting for an update on the status, dyno tune & feedback on the response of that monster GTX4508! Bet you are out enjoying that beast, hope all is well. Really great build so far!

Hi all ! after a long hiatus I am finally back!!!! I've been pre-occupied with work and building a new home for my family ,now that that's done I am getting back into the FD. I am still experiencing the same "lean out" issue which is now preventing the engine from idling for longer than 5 seconds at a time! I/we did some re-wiring , checked over the fuel system completely , checked the ECU and software and all functioned perfectly which suggests that the problem is actually unique to the car.It still definitely is a fuel delivery issue but it still appears to be electrically based so we are still looking in that area. The next phase planned is a complete re-wire using two brand new A/B harnesses .

Seems to be a timing issue , I got it started a couple times since but it still isn't sorted yet, during my checks I came across an anomalie with the rotary engines and the ViPec system. The parameter known as the trigger angle , which is used to set the timing during the trigger calibration procedure varies greatly from engine to engine ! mine is set at 10 , my buddies at 24 and the plug and play maps supplied by them vary from -6 to -8 ! this just seems odd because TDC and -20 ATD is at the same place on the e shaft / FD front pulley assembly .
