Alabama 7s: H'ville to B'ham to Mobile
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.

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.
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.
In Huntsville as far as FD's go we have:
Myself VR R-1
Don VR R-1
Doc BB R-1
Steve Stover MB touring
Craig Farr Silver base
Joe Steele BB Base
Heritage collision has 2 (cym and VR)
Greg White touring
Another guy here who just bought a MB

Sorry I am the other guy who just bought the MB. I am Matt.
By the way guys.. the 7/7/7 meet in ATL will be covered by MazdaSport (article by ME!) So, lets get a caravan together and head over to ATL in JULY! I found a great Japanese/Korean/Chinese Buffet!
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'll just leave on the 7th! the thing doesn't start until 3PM.. I should get there right at 3..
If you need to crash in bham, you are welcome to at my house.
then around 7, we'll go get something to eat and head back! Should make it back to AL by 10-11PM... or we could all crash at one of the ATL rotorhead.. hehe..

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.
