cheapest thing to do would be to set the twins up in parallel...

I don't know what a megasquirter is. Explain and maybe I'll change my answer...just maybe.

megasquirt is an inexpensive DIY fuel injection system.

Set-up twins in parallel and run up to 12psi with stock fuel system + megasquirter.

I guess if you still wanna run them in sequence your gonna have to go with a PNP system, I.E. the Power FC, not sure what the price is for either but i'm pretty sure the PFC would be more expensive.

Good luck

it will be more lag than seq. but set it up right, remove all the flapper doors in the manifolds and y-pipe...free flowing exhaust with propper boost control...upgraded IC, etc.

Umm...how come your fuel computer won't let you run seq?

no, don't buy that kit...to go single properly it will cost you double what that ebay kit is going for.


wished I lived closer I've got a buddy in VA that builds rock crawlers...I've got no doubt we could get your rig running seq.


do you have the stock ECU? Why are you running the mega squirt? is it piggy back? if you run no exhaust, you will need more fuel than the stock ECU provides. <---that's going to be extremely LOUD.

I would limit boost best you can with no exhaust...you might have to look into porting the WG of the twins if you stick with them.

Another alternative would be to find a use PFS (peter ferrel supercars) purple piggy back ECU. It will allow for seq and more fuel and less timing. Probably find on online for ~$300.

post something in the For Sale section.

3" back with a small cat (and the magnaflow) in there will flow enough and give some back pressure...I just don't want you to blow the engine after you getting it running.

removing emission's won't do too much harm...might make your idle lumpy since you removed the secondary air injection.

why do you need the megasquirter if you have a modded ECU?

how about I send you a harness you can cut up and splice...it'll be color coded. Then you can use the stock ECU, right? OR if you want...you can send me the harness you have, and I'll do the work for you pretty cheap...here is my resume' https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/electron-manipulation-336924/

I can probably make the harness reach probably any lentgh you specify. (you won't be able to tell where I splice it either ) IF you wan't the same disconnect connector, I can do that also, but it's $extra$

there is an online workshop manual. Try and search for the site. www.iluvmyrx7.com or something similar.
