I have no clue what's going on, except Cam is going to have a clearance table of RX7 parts tomorrow.

The loss of the air-temp sensor, defaults the stock and PFC computer to think the engine is HOT, thus retarding the timing by 6-degrees!

We also had a weird run where we lost HP, and it turned out they forgot to turn-on the external blower fan to simulate getting an air-flow, which retarded the timing 3-degrees.

Intercooler, preferably a water-based one and a less-restrictive exhuast is on my list before I retune with Steve.

I finially finished with the tunning session today, ended up street tuning a littlebit because the dyno didn't work at first. At the end I put it on the dyno for one run to see what the hp was and I got 365 at 14 1/2 psi. Pretty good but was shy of the 400hp. Dosn't matter because I could have gotten the 400 with alot more boost but for some reason I wasn't ready to take any risks. Steves tune is awsome, real smooth power something I didn't have before. Also a good guy to work with. Thanks alot Steve.

Spooler, 365 is great. With a 20% loss at the dyno, that's about 465 to the crank!

And like you said, Steve's tune is so smooth and tractable, which I'd rather have than a real peaky tune.

Steve, which blonde in your avatar is your new girl ?

Yea.. My HKS Twin power took a crap. It seems a transistor melted in the unit itself. I let some others try it to see if it would clean up their spark and make better power. I may not have regrounded it well enough. (Although it was exactly where it was for 1 year previously). It burned up after my 4 pulls while the car was idling for a few minutes. I think it was its time to give up the ghost. Once we figured it out I just plugged the stock ign. back in and it was good to go. I'll pick up another one here soon. Again it was good to meet everyone. You S. Fl guys are first class. Like most of the rest of the rotary community. Enjoy the new tunes!! Garret

Garret, awesome pull! See how much of a difference a 4th gear pull makes?! I wish I could of done one with my old car. Also, what was your torque?

had many problems. first my plugs were not burning the fuel and my crank andgle sensore was too far from the pulley. changed them to run all 10's and shimmed the crank angle sensor. then my fuel pressure was dropping. changed out the filter and pump. once all the was fixed..........

My turbo could not keep up (TD06H-20G) and therefore my numbers are not to impressive. i believe my best was a little over 300 Hp @ 12 lb with an injector duty of 58%. my car runs totally different. it is so smooth!!!!!! I love the tune, it feels great. next time steve comes down, i will have a larger turbo and hopefully it will put down more power


all in all, i had a great time, got to meet a lot of good people and got a great tune

I heard the Central Florida guys represented pretty well Word on the street is that Aldo made the most power. Almost 400rwhp, even with some intercooler problems? And Garret, even though he wasn't getting tuned, made the most power out of the stock twins guys, 374rwhp?! Can't wait til I get back on the road

I am sorry you had problems Simon, but at least you got it tuned now. That turbo is on the small side for an FD. I bet down low it's pretty nice.

I wanted to come (to visit, not tune) - but we got caught up working on
my little 7. Replacing a leaking oil cooler that has been wreaking havoc on my garage floor.

So what where everybody Else's numbers? Didn't like 7-10 people have their cars dyno tuned?

See I told you that turbo wasnt big enough to keep you satisfied. Power is an addiction

I guess everyone else was either:

a) Disappointed in their numbers, or
b) Haven't stopped driving yet because they are having too much fun.

Hopefully the latter, since only 2 people posted HP figures.

I saw 380, 374, 364, 351, 330, and 291 rwhp... single , twins, single , twins, twins and single. This was on Saturday...I was already tuned (microtech). It had been 9 months. Just wanted to make sure the health of my fuel delivery and afr's were still ok.(We got a good price from Cam on some pull time). Garret

Thanks

First, I wanted to thank Steve for the tune. The car runs great. I also wanted to thank Cam for giving us the place to do it. It was great meeting a lot of you and I look forward to seeing at a track event. Garrett, Thanks for all the help. I'll give you a call when I get back from Argertina.
