half bridge or full bridge

Cheers mate

Going back to what was mentioned near the start of the thread, how undrivable is undrivable? And for what reasons?
 
I have driven the Dragon RX7 when it was in its final full drag spec, and though it was a bit of a beast, it was suprisingly drivable, no daily driver, but it was fine on the Devon B-roads, suprisingly, lol.
 
Im not planning to change my engine spec at all, but we all know the unexpected "issues" that can occur when owning a tuned rotary, so its good to learn, lol.

Car is now ready for collection, slight increase in power but nothing to write home about (21fwhp). Rather then feeling excited i find myself feeling preety cheesed off with the car and with myself for wasting best part of £4000. I will take up until the weekend to think about it but will probably put the car up for sale then or even break it depending on what will get me the best price.

well good luck lee with woteva you do with it

[StavFC]

So what was done to spend 4000quid? Be good to see a breakdown on what was done and why.
 
TBH people miss-diagnosing bad fuel as an engine issue that needed it removed and rebuilt dont exactly give me faith in the tuners...

[lee mills]

enginewasnt removed in the end thankfully bad fuel was diagnosed before they got this far. havent spent all this money with reworx also includes price of initial fuel rail lines etc

[lee mills]

well good luck lee with woteva you do with it

 
Cheers mate must admit am feeling pretty down about it at the moment probably just aswell im not collecting it until tommorow otherwise id probably of started stripping it already:rolleyes:

[StavFC]

Damn man, 4k is a lot of cash for seeing very little back. A rough breakdown of costs would be good if you are in the mood, might help others in the future.

[lee mills]

to be honest most of it was spent trying to diagnose what the loss of power was in the first place. Items bought in process were
Injector driver
Swirl pot(not part of elimination )
uprated fuel lines
new secondary fuel rail and 1680 injectors
tried different gearbox and diff
new coil
different boost controller x2 (blew the first one)
race fuel:reallymad
 
Like you say wouldnt be such a bitter pill to swallow if there were significant gains made. but at the moment feeling like i should of just thrown the money down the drain

[Ed_RX7]

blimey....cant have been 4 k just for that lot?

[lee mills]

Plus all ancillaries and labour and dyno time ballistic blanket,master cylinder and engine out to fix sump leak

[lee mills]

Thing is if id known it was going to cost this much id of just bridgeported it and had done with from the start.
Im not having a go at any tuners its one of those things unfortunately just feels like yet again my hard earned is being wasted. one things for sure though if i sell /break or keep there will be no drag racing this year. dont see the point in risking breaking something if your not at least competitive

[Ed_RX7]

oh dear feel for yah....i suggest just get it and enjoy it...forget dragging for now.
