Hello!
I\'m going to take my car, a 1996 Efini RX-7 Bathurst ed., at the beginning of march in UK.
The car has this engine\'s mods:
- Blitz SUS air intake
- Blitz BOv
- Blitz turbo timer and gauge
- Blitz NUR Spec exhaust
I have the chance to get more work done on it from a skilled mechanic before I\'ll take her.
I was thinking about a front mount intercooler (Greddy M-Spec replica), but I was concerning about downpipe.
Can I go with intercooler with no problem or I got to change downpipe first?
The problem is that in my city there isn\'t any mechanic with experience in rotary engine.
In uk you have more skilled people working on rotarys.
So I was thinking in making them do some hard/difficult work (intercooler, downpipe) and then, back to Italy, make the mods I can make myself or with a regular mechanic: vacuum hose, AST replacement, water temp gauge, ECU (trying to take Apex\'i power fc), spark plugs.
The seller tells me oil and coolant are fresh changed, and I can trust him.
What\'s your advice?
Thanks guys...
I wouldn\'t do any more power modifications without a mappable ECU, likely a Power FC. If you start doing things like intercooler or downpipe (which is probably also a de-cat), you could end up running lean.
yep i agree with lockwood get a Apexi Power FC, one of the best mods you can do, will allow you to get the engine mapped for the mods you have, also will allow it to be mapped for uk fuel.
