my 7 ran bad azz in VA but when i moved to NM it started to run like ****. i ran a 19.1 retarted the timing 3 deg and dropped my time to 18.3 its still running to rich but that shouldn't cause that much of a differance should it. in va the 7 could stomp a mustang gt in NM i'm having trouble beating a stock lumina. also i can't burn out 1st now were in va i could smoke the first 2 gears please give some out put cuz i'm stumpped

 

need more info on your setup could be a million things

 

it the ELEVATION, NM is (on average) MUCH higher above sea level than Virginia. Also at higher Altitudes you should ADVANCE the timing not retard it - higher altitude = LESS Oxygen and SLOWER combustion.

 

my 1/4 mile time for my first was a 15.137 all stock then got me a 2.5" exhaust and then went back a couple weeks later and got a 14.96.. but i also got a couple more things that will help also.. ive spent like 300 bucks and ive dropped like .3 so im happy

 

my set up is in my sig what else do you need to know?
are you sure maxpesce my time did get better, but maybe its cuz its running so rich

 

my 6 ports do not open this also affects my engine im sure

 

do you have the ports wired open or do they stay closed?

If they stay closed you are losing a ton of power at high RPMs

 

closed if i wire them open at the track and close them the rest of the time should that help my times and save my milage on the road

 

i got a 15.137 my first run all stock then i got a 2.5 inch exhaust and new k and n and im down in the 14.8 range

 

It's all about the elevation. Everything feels sluggish at this elevation. Albuquerque Elevation averages around 5000', BIG difference from Sea Level. The first time I took at road trip I thought my car had gained 100hp, and that was in a Cadilac. Where abouts do you live in Albuquerque. I do not know too many rotary enthusiasts in Alb. Marc

 

i live in the apts across from cibola high school just moved here from newport news VA we can get together and hit one of these roads or the drag strip if your up for it one weekend
-will

 

Wire them open at the track and on the street.

When they are funcional, ports are closed for low RPM torque, and open for more airflow at higher RPM.

The best power band comes with them funcional at the RPM where your torque starts to fall off.

The second best would be to be wide open, the ports that is, at all times to make high end power, cuase that is what the rotary does, makes high RPM power.

If you left them closed all the time you would have all your torque up to about 4000RPM at which time your power band would fall off campared to the ports being open.


...my 2 cents.

 

only problem with that is its my daily driver and i dont get to play that much so i'd kill my gas worse than having them closed and keeping the rpms reasonable...true $.o2

 

theoretically, keeping the revs below the normal opening RPM would be the best for MPG, whether the ports are closed all the time or fully funcional.

The best way I know of, is to keep your air pump, rig up an aquarium or plumbing valve to provide pressure to the ports. Then you could adjust the valve to open whenever you desired, or not open at all.

 

damn i already threw my air pump out, and ac
