I\'ve got my baby back

ahh So you running the standard spring rate in the actuactor that the kit comes with, so what boost controller will you be using?
I hope you are coming to Pod luv to check out your car

Thanks for the reply mate.

INteresting, so currently running about 1 bar, have you tried running with the WI off? Its just that I have seen applications where the wi losses power due to the water not atomising completely and cauing slight boggin?

Although this was on a piston engine and not a rotary

So would you say the 2000 + fitting is justified? do you now have a rather large grin when you set the rotors spinning?

Just trying to get a mental "shopping list" for when I get my RX7

Not sure whether Max had the 7 or 15psi spring in the turbosmart when it arrived? But he\'s using the Power FC boost control kit any way...

The Apexi boost kit with 3 bar map sensor should be good for 2.2 bar in theory!

Don\'t think I\'ll go that far tho, don\'t fancy doing an OJ on rebuilds

Don\'t know what spring is in the wastegate - does this dictate the lowest boost you can have???

Still waiting for the Tank for my Aquamist from a certain moderator of this forum *nudge, nudge* so can\'t say exactly how it will work in practice. Should be of benefit, as I have calculated that my intake temps at one bar with front mount and aquamist will be below ambient

This should make a remarkable improvement in all weathers. I think that if you go beyond the recommended 25% max water to fuel ratio, you will hinder performance. Mine should be about 10% at 6k revs by my reckoning.

I also have sourced a huge stash of methanol which I will premix in the water tank at up to 50:50 mix.

On a side note, the electric water pump means that the cold start wax thingy which activates high revs no longer has water passing through it, so I am going to butcher the cold start to not cut in any more. It\'s only there for emissions anyway.....

Was it worth the money?

Got my answer within 5 minutes on the M27 yesterday!!!

Hell yeah!!!! Much quicker and much much smoother power delivery.

[BlitzBoy]

yes it does dictate whats the lowest boost setting it can have.
Oh yeah what injectors u running?

[maximtaylor]

Stock primaries and 1300 secondaries. Needs mapping, which I will do this week - should be running about 80-85% injector duty once mapped as opposed to 75% which it was with the twin turbo\'s/unported. That much more air flow through the engine now

Fantastic Better start budgeting for a single turbo conversion then

Your underbonnet shot looks great Almost as clean as my engine  But a little less cluttered





Soon to be a rotary

[Archbish]

jeez - don\'t ever fall in that engine bay, you\'ll never get out...  You sure there\'s an engine in there somewhere??

[Davegtt]

He he he, yup and mines had alot of stuff taken out to make it look less cluttered :rollin :rollin

[maximtaylor]

So that\'s where all the blue samco hosing went to....

You do realise you have caused a uk shortage of the stuff

Yeah, I don\'t do clean - so long as it works it\'s good enough for me. For now at least.:rollin

It might be something for me to do in winter?

he he he, Yes there is a fair bit in there, I should really be sponsered by samco Although the home made FMIC took most of the samco\'s

[Archbish]

Really??  I\'ve never seen a samco intercooler - most of them are alloy of some kind...  Intruiging...


what?

[Davegtt]

Forge front mount, home made pipe run from turbo -> intercooler -> carb top.  I love the look and reliability gained with a front mount, I\'d love one on an RX7

Adding WI to a car that doesnt have a prog. ECU will loose power.  I wonder if this would be the case on an FD as they run so hot on the intake temps! On stock twins and IC I am seeing temps of 30-35C whilst cruising, and going up in to the high 60\'s when at 5psi boost.

I am going to play with various size jets, as reading some of the US forums they have also been playing with the ERL kits a lot this summer, and they are going up to a 1mm jet.

As for the atomosation, the ERL jets/pump do not have any problems. Just remove the jet, trigger it to start pumping and let it spray on to your arm. You shouldnt feel the water hitting your arm as it will be that fine, but within 15 seconds you will have goose bumps.
