As above, windshield washer fluid is your meth. Call your local performance shop and just buy a 5 gallon can of C-16 or Q-16 VP gas. If you can not find some I am in Franklin every week and can bring you up a can. Have a few in my garage. Mike

Are you running the dual jet setup or a single jet setup?

as of right now I am running a single jet. I am thinking the 760cc will be more than enough?

thanks for the offer. I am not sure if I want to make the jump to C-16 or Q-16 although it would help with heat and poeple are making nice power from it. Hell I may need it to hang with some people around here.

To be honest I dont care if I sell you a can of q-16 as I will it soon enough but I really think you should skip any other race gas and only use q-16 or c-16. It gives you a larger area of era and can save you a motor. A very cheap investment. I had this discusion with Ray from PFS a few weeks ago as I was running sunoco 114 when I lost my last motor. (had not had time to tune for the q-16) I am sure it was not the reason I lost the motor but for a few bucks more it gives you good insurance. To buy a 5 gal can as this is smart so you do not have to drive down wasting a tank full you are only going to spend 30-50 more on the right stuff. I may swing down to hang out and watch Steve work his magic..

How much is C-16 and Q-16 running for right now? I know race gas here is like 5.50 or so a gallon right now. I was going to run a pump and meth inj. map and then race and meth map. I plan on trailering the car down there. you should definitely swing down and watch. it should be a fun day.

11-14 bucks on q-16 .. $5.50 sounds like cheap stuff. Who makes it? The crap I used to buy was 6.50 then I swaped to Sunoco 114 and it was 7.50. ****, Look at Import VP its around 20 bucks. You will see ALL rotary drag guys that run gas run one of those 2.

Thumbs up Another Success !!!!!!!!!

I would like to take a moment to thank EVERYONE who made this possible. Steve was great.......as usual. Brian (BNR) was VERY helpful in helping all those who had a few "issues", get them worked out.
Blake (Walker Dyno Tune) was the PERFECT host. Wlaker Dyno Tune catered to our every need. ANytime I ever need a dyno, this will be the only place I go.
O yea, a shout out to Phil Sohn for helping me with a few problems on my car. I will say RX7 "scene" in Birmingham (Alabama) is alive and well. Its people like this that make me never want to get rid of my FD, even when it gives me fits.
THANK YOU TO ALL!!!!

PS-Kevin w Rotary Resurrection got over 460 RWHP, in his 2nd gen!!!

You forgot to mentioned it was on pump gas only with NO aux injection or race fuel......

I'm just glad that Kevin can build his own engine. I wouldn't do a tune like that with anyone else.
