What to do next .

Hi Ro,
The engine is being sorted by Reworx, slowly but surely i hope! Just missed out on the guarantee period, although i looked at the warranty and it says using synthetic oils will invalidate it anyway so there was no chance i would get any joy from that. Apparently when synthetic oils first came out they did something to some seals in the rotary so tuners wouldn\'t warrant using them. technology has moved on i think so its not a problem any more.
What is the name of this place in bournemouth out of interest?

SY,

The Apexi Power FC is definately the way forward. It will transform your car just by plugging it in and running the standard map, you\'ll be running richer than you are now with your stock ecu. When i got mine it felt like driving a new car.

Getting up to 300/350 rwhp is something else though cos you\'ll be limited by how much boost you can run. Firstly by the intercooler cos intake temps will rise and then secondly the fueling. You don\'t wanna max out your injector duty cycle, so going for an uprated fuel pump or even a fuel pressure regulator will increase your fueling to get you up to the bhp you desire.

Hi Dre .
Filters are on .... well i hope there all plugged in lol .
Car will run richer ... Damn ... its alread 7% over on the emissions test. but when it is remapped im sure it will sort it all out .

next question ... who can get hold of a PFC .
allstaruk  - you will have to send me an email at the mom till i become a full member.

Sy i just bought one on ebay for £490 and the guy is selling more at buy it now price of £500 i think, this includes the ecu and the commander. 2-3 week delivery time though.

Hi Sy

With a Stock ECU, Induction and Straight through exhaust you are fast on the way to a rebuild imho

You will find your boost probably spikes over std now and again, this will cause it to run lean, and you\'ll chuck a tip

Assuming you\'ve got a stock EDU though, I\'d check personally before I floored it

[Rich Cheung]

Sy / Ada7 - Defo get a PFC as your next mod. Mine had been ported but when adding induction and straight thru exhaust it was under fueling so be prepared to fork out for bigger fuel pump and larger injectors.
Next step would be to look at adequte cooling to keep things safe and give a little more bhp. You should be able to get around 350 rwhp on those sort of mods.

THREAD HIJACK
Rich, my car is being rebuilt at the moment, it has straight through exhaust, big intercooler, it went bang cos stock ECU was not fuelling right. I\'m thinking of getting it ported whiile it is being rebuilt, would I be advised to look at bigger injectors and fuel pump too? Reworx estimated it would have been running 300rwhp before it went pop.

[Oedipus Rex]

To be honest Ada, from the little info I have found out in the last few weeks, if you are running a stock ECU with those mods your engine is probably not fuelling properly and running lean which in worst case could result in detonation, i.e cracked rotor tip, which would mean a rebuild. (what happened to me)
I would get it looked at by a specialist before you spend too much time with your right foot flat on the floor, you could save yourself some serious cash if you spot any possible problems now.

When they look inside and say \'yeah you\'ve lost a tip, thats a rebuild\' you will wish you got it looked at sooner! its not a nice moment!

p.s. anyone who knows more than me about rotaries (most people then) feel free to correct me if I am needlessly scaremongering here!

I cannot tell you how right this is.


With your mods you need an uprated ECU ASAP. Otherwise you could well det and be in rebuild territory before you know it.

It could have been rebuilt yesterday and the same would apply.


Sort your fueling NOW. Otherwise it could be a 4 grand bill rather than a 500 quid bill.

[Rich Cheung]

Dandan - Mine was ported and had KSP catback zorst when I got it. Went to Pips (WGT) for induction kit, decat and downpipes and Apexi PFC fitting. On the mapping session the car was running lean so it wasn\'t an option and I had to get bigger injectors and pump (and lighter wallet). So if your porting with your current mods I\'d say you\'d need the injectors and pump.

[dandan]

aah dammit, thanks rich.

Does anyone know if you can sell bodyparts on ebay?
i mean, who needs TWO kidneys?

[Rich Cheung]

You might want to try selling your liver to Scooby Si after this weekend  :p

[Sy.]

Well it sounds pretty much the way forward for anyone is PFC ... so the hunt goes on ...

what sort of fuel pump and larger injectors should i go for ? and how much are they ?
---------
Mine was rebuilt with the full through exhaust so that part should be safe for the mom .

Bloody hell!!!    Just had the engine rebuilt and i\'m not going though that again!. Bets check what ECU i have and if its standard, start looking at getting an uprated one before i put my foot down hard again!
Thanks guys, Scared of driving it now!!
