STEVE KAN Tune - SoCal Oct. 27-29, 2006 - Taking deposits now!
GoRacer,
I have the stock ic. But I'm looking to replace that with a Blitz SMIC in time for the next tuning session.
Being ignorant to the issues my car had was great and now I am a typical RX7 owner wondeirng what else can be wrong and having the car become a money pit.
BUT its worth it as it still is my favorite car to run. And in time with money I will fix all these issues and have a tune that will yield power.

My tune was very successful overall! I peaked at 298.86 (call it 299!) Hp and 262 ft-lbs of torque @13#. Not bad at all for stock sequentials! But, it did get a boost spike to 15 which Steve recommended going back to the stock "pill" instead of the HD valve I have. He said duty cycle is too high too at 94% so I'll be upgrading to 1200cc secondarys soon. Other than that everything else worked fine. So I'm real pleased with my new motor built my yours truly (kudos to Karack on the street port!) and hats off to Steve for a tune well done!I really could feel the difference on the way home.
Here's a link to the pictures I took at Sevenstock and tuneday. It was nice meeting you guys...see ya next time.

overall it looks like everyone was happy with the results
issues happen and are unavoidable sometimes so all you can do is learn and fix 'em.
wish i could have stayed longer and met some more people but i only got home just a little while ago, always next time.

shut it you tool!
i should have brought my rear iron and put it on a chain and wore it around as a necklace.
i'm going to have to put up a wall of shame in the shop so i can be reminded of my mistakes, lol.

Steve had to stop at 10lbs. I had a turbo oil leak due to the wrong fitting being used, an unresolved fuel pressure fluctuation, missing bop melting my wire harness, alternator unpluged, strut bar nuts missing, etc. I picked it up supposedly ready from Mazdatrix the day before and drove 600mi breaking it in. I'm not very happy after 3 & 1/2 months with my car I got it in an undriveable condition 1 day before tuning and it's still undrivable.
I got 321rwhp on 91oct @ 10lbs. No dyno sheet.

), but your dyno curve is to envy. V8/torquemongers can't argue with that. NOICE!

...yeah picked it up ($3k bill) with low water warning light, low oil warning light, clutch not working had to literaly shut engine off to change gears. Had one day to break in engine. drove to vegas and back the same day. got home at 2am, woke up at 6am. couldnt get spark plugs or oil filter off (too tight). Turbo still has oil leak and fluctuating fuel pressure is unresolved.

i wish.... my car isn't anything special, mainly because i don't charge astronomical prices for work, that and my house/shop payment keep me from sinking too much money into my cars. next year i will probably be bringing a full bridge datsun 510.
