UPDATE to the build finally got the car moving it drives great! and a lot of fun too i have already claimed a few victims...sorry civics, rotors for the win....was having a problem with the turbo not pressurizing properly wasnt going over 5psi but found a few vaccum leaks that i have fixed and plugged a spot on the compressor housing i forgot about and now im making 9 psi i plan on putting the boost controller and finish hooking up the wideband so i can do some tuning and should be running 10-15psi ! car already spins tires all the way through second and chirps third ! its quick and i love it! have a good one yall !

NIce. Looks like you dont give up easy. That's exactly how a rotary owner should be.=)

And yes why did the engine go?
If i had one guess it would aim towards ecu tuning.

The engine went because I had a spark plug wire that was arching and I didn't know because of the no tune on the computer while test driving it after installing the wideband it started running rough and thought maybe it wa the plugs because its running to rich but did the compression test and it was all over the place so took the motor apart and I had popped 3 apex seals and 1 corner seal....but somehow managed to not mess up anything else ! So now I have everything straigh and waiting for the next warm day to do the tune to regulate the AFRs cuz as u can see in the video it's sitting at 10s-11s at idle way to much fuel ! But should turn out great once I get it tuned right

11.5 is actually fine for a bridge, they do need more fuel than your street port did.

Yeah but 10.5 at idle is way to rich my oil pretty much turns to water after 300 miles an I've been putting 20w50 I'm using the stock 3rd gen coils do you know how to use the 2nd gen coils ? I heard they burn better than the 3rd gen

the PFC is set up to use the factory 3rd gen coils. i haven't ever bothered to try and set one up to work with FC coils. FD coils work fine up to 450whp with a HKS twin power. the FC coils are good for about 600whp with an ignition amp though.
