Hi there i just live up the road from you in banbridge theres a guy in lurgan that rebuilds rotary engines he is just finishing mine at the minute if you want to give him a call his number is 07835439347 just tell him charlie told you to call.As for mapping the engine there is nobody in ireland that can do it so im afraid its a trip to england.Hope this helps you out.

go to hear of another rotary owner in n.i,

fuel you will be fine running 95 octane, but if you can afford it run the high octane for a standard car with exhaust etc you\'ll be fine
the jap cars run fine with above petrol

btw checkout n.i autotrader red fd for sale and couple weeks ago a green fd for sale

I think you need to have the car maped for 95 ron fuel bud, a total standard car maybe you cn get away with it?? but any mods its not advisable..

well i have ran rx7\'s fb/fc/fd on 91 96 98 octane without any bother and they have just had factory computers and big exhaust intake with fuel cut defender etc i would suggest a bigger fuel pump and regulator but had no trouble so far

thanks
