Sideshow bob - what management are you running? Is it a full exhaust on stock ECU?

At most you\'d probably end up with a blown water seal boosting on a cold engine.

Can you expand on the theory behind this, please?

There was a thread on rx7club on some guy that did testing on these engines and found that boosting on a cold motor caused the water seals to go.  Was quite in depth explanation as to why but I cant find the sodding thread now!

I can think of ten reasons not to WOT a cold engine but blowing the water seal would not be one of them??? Plus I don\'t think i\'ve ever seen a blown water seal its usaly the Plate Grooves that go down to Stress fractures/Corrosion/Bad wall thickness.

Back on the Question in hand, Do a Curb side comp test, if its running bad enough to feel when driving there will be a noticeable enough Drop in compression to be Audible when you turn it over with a Plug out.

But i would have to agree that it doesn\'t look good, i did a Motor in Much the same way a While ago, The only difference was it ran fine through the rev range until i shifted from second to third and it started missing.

I can think of numerous reasons not to WOT any cold engine regardless of wether it\'s rotary or not.

I wish I could find that thread, it was really informative.  I\'ll keep searching.

Apexi Power FC with commander

I\'ve got my fingers crossed for plugs but i\'ve yet to check. took a long weekend off work to take my mind off some non car related woes lol. but to point out the car was fully warmed up before i went to give it some stick, and my power fc didnt even register as hitting full boost til it started acting up.

however what i was wondering was, when your car does the kinda jittery accelerating is this putting the engine under more stress than usual?
