hello everyone, im Adam and i recently picked up an rx7 after wanting one for a little while.
been doing loads of research into the rotary engine over the last few weeks as i have a lot to learn! so expect lots of questions in the future.
 
will get some pics up soon but for now heres the spec list.
 
body:
R-Magic full wrap around kit
R-Magic carbon fiber bonnet
re-sprayed in blue
 
engine:
trust airinx dual air intake system
hks 3 inch downpipe, mid pipe and exhaust
nippondenso fuel pump
NGK ht leads
cooling mist water/methanol inj kit
sheepdog blow-off valve
hks twin power ignition system
bonez street clutch
knightsports ecu
AST air separation tank
stainless intercooler pipes
 
suspension:
koni adjustable yellows
greddy front tower bar
 
interior:
hks 52mm boost guage
defi control unit II
defi 60mm egt guage
defi 60mm water temp guage
razo turbo timer
 
and thats about it.
now as for the knightsports ecu, think im gonna swap it out for something else. anyone got any suggestions? from what i can gather the power fc seems popular.
havent apexi gone bust though?

Welcome mate to MRC,

the Apexi PFC is the most common ECU upgrade and suits the rx7 very well indeed and will the controller unit you can view what is going on and make a few ammendments as you go along.

There are still quite a few unit available although i believe Apexi do not make them anymore, a quick view on ebay will reveal a few for sale but make sure its the right year for your car.

Hi mate and welcome. Ecu choice will depend to an extent on who your tuner of choice is and what they are happy tuning also.

Nice looking car!

I personally wouldn\'t bother with the AVCR and just go straight for the Apexi PFC. That\'ll do everything the AVCR can and allow for remaps and everything else - and do a better job of it.

very tidy thats real nice, welcome to mrc :)

Hi

Welcome to the club.  What a nice looking FD....no boost in the wet !!!!!!!!!!

Nice colour, a spoiler would probably add to the look IMO but then others would disagree...

Ant way, all the best,

Any chance of seeing the motor at the JapShow finale on the 7th?

Not true - the AVCR has a lot of advanced boost related features that the boost controller for the PFC doesn\'t
