So right now I'm saying that if you want to go fishing them come on over on the 9th or 10th of June.

Oh, I got my DP/MP combo yesterday and started taking the stock stuff of a few hours ago. Everything is off and I have to say that it wasn't the hardest thing I've done but it was still a bitch getting to everything. I didn't break any studs but the bottom front one did come out with the nut which is no biggy. I also used a Indexible Ratchet and a 14mm Box-end ratchet which both came in real handy. And a whole bunch of PB

So I'm gonna bolt the DP and MP on tomorrow and just drive it without giving it much power until my boost controller arrives which should be in the next day or two.

I also ordered the LM-1 Wideband and I'll be getting the datalogit from Rotary Performance. I also kept the order on the Nippondenso Fuel Pump so I'll be getting it to.

Brad

Glad to see you buying from rx7.com. I spent 30mins today on the phone with Ari. They are so helpful. If I run into a issue that I need help on I call Chris or Ari. Everytime I have called them they take time to discuss my issue with them. Good service like that is getting hard to find.

Brad, A boost controller may not stop your boost from spiking or creeping with a MP unless your wastegate is ported, but there is only one way to really tell and that is try it.

Chris, I guess I'm just gonna risk it for a while and see what happens. Mike says he made several passes on the track without a ported wastegate and several others have said that it's defeinitely safer but not essential. If it pops I guess I'll be doing what Stephen and I discussed at Outback in Chatt. and that's to just "go fast" all at once. Maybe a street port with all the goodies I need to hit the range of 400rwhp. But maybe I won't have to worry about that for a while.

I did it for a few months too, I was just warning you. The most it ever hit with me was about 15psi, and I used a WB to check it and it was really rich like 10:1, with the stock PFC fuel map.

Oh yeah, and way back when, I was one of the fastest highschool sprinters in H'ville (11.1 in the 100m)... I probably couldn't outrun a tortoise nowadays.

I think I might drive my FD down to Orange Beach on June 30th and leave early, like around July 6th, to make it to the 7/7/7 thing. I guess I could come up to B'ham on the 6th and caravan with you guys on the 7th. Or are you leaving earlier than the 7th? Let me know and I'll try and make arrangements to be there.

I bet I have over 100 passes at the track running 14psi. Best ever was 7.8 in the 1/8th. 12.3 in the 1/4.

Finished my DP/MP install yesterday and I'm having a hard time not going WOT because I love the sound coming from my old RB duals. Don't have my Profec-B Spec 2 yet. At a little over 3/4 throttle the PFC is reading 0.82 bars consistently and around 64% injector duty. Ok, I found this chart http://www.onlineconversion.com/ and it says that 0.82 bars is roughly 11.9psi. But I'll keep it under control until my profec-b spec 2 arrives.

To get your boost just multiply 14.7 times your bar reading. (14.7 times .82=boost in psi 12.054) What gear and rpm was that reached? Are you just getting the peak of commander? If that is peak in 3rd or 4th gear you are fine..

Yeah, it's the peak off the commander. 3rd gear, 3/4 throttle roll-on. My boost gauge looked like it hit somewhere around the 13 or 14psi mark but the commander said the peak was 0.82 bars consistently after about 4 roll-ons after 4 different times during the day today.

Current status

Here is my new set up. I redid the fuel system today. Running heavier gauge wires from pumps up to fitting in lid. I already did a relay set up and 10 gauge wire from battery to relay. I used to have each fuel pump running to separate rails now I have the 2 feed lines t'ed together and running to priamry rail then to secondary rail via regulator then back to return. I am hoping this solves my high duty cycle at high boost. If this does not do it then I will pull the walbro and add another nippo rx7.com pump.
I also relocated the coil's to firewall and got new 10mm magnecor wires. So if anyone wants to but my other stock fitting magnecors in 10mm let me know.
