Hi everyone, Im Adam (27yrs), new to the club so "Hello all" Ive had my silver FD rx7 1993 for about 3 months now and have a few little (big) problems. Im a keen home mechanic and have resonable knowledge of turbocharged cars (Ive had a 5 turbo for 9 years NOT A CHAVVY ONE LoL)
So please be nice with my questions you probably all have had before (hey everyone starts somewhere)
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction please.
My car is standard besides a free flow front section de-cat and a induction kit. (both were on car when I got it)
I have just got a 3" free flow exhaust and was told (on rx7club.com) that I needed to get a boost controller.. so I did! its an HKS EVC 3 (crap im also told :( )
However..... The thing is I dont want to turn up the boost I would like a standard 10 8 10. (Both of the above items I have not yet fitted).
Ok so can I fit the exhaust and controller leaving the boost standard and be ok? someone told me I need to get a better ECU? as mine is standard.
what do do? please help I dont want a big bang.
Also what are the clunks when the car starts, it does about 3 small clicks? solonoids??
And the car breather/ boost system is quite oily, Do I need a better catch tank and is this common with the FD.
Many many thanks

Hi and welcome. You\'ll need the apexi ecu if you have decatted it. It gives a nice power increase, but will need mapping because the cat has been removed. The apexi will control the boost nicely, so no need for a boost controller.
Yes mate its looking that way, any ideas on the
best place to get one?
thanks for the welcome:King
so free flow with boost controller is a definate No No?
Yea the starter motors commonly stick on these. mine does it too :( usually goes on the third start over or something. nothing to worry about unless you are a perfectionist :-s
The clicks are a few seconds after starting mate?
what model of apexi do I want?
All the boost controller does is control boost. If you have opened up the exhaust system, you need more fuel going in .The boost controller wont do this, hence you need a better ecu. I would normally reccommend nengun performance, that\'s where i got mine. Think it was £380 all in. There has been a few probs lately though http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45165&highlight=nengun
You would also need the correct Power FC too... there are 3 different models (correspond to car changes!) the one you need is 92-95 as after that they went from an 8 bit ecu to a 16!! think there is one for sale on here, although it hasn\'t got the commander unit!
Jono
P.S. welcome to the club mate.... PICS PICS PICS!!!
LoL Too cold for pics!!! Ill have a look round, thanks lads Ill speak soon.
Cheers
