Rewiring clifford intelestart

[rx7veilside]

well in a nutshell if u trawl rx7club.com it seems ignition break up at high rpm is a pretty common occurence on modded fds
now no offence to anyone but why have none of the other tuners reported /suggested this total rewire of alarms in a rx7
as far as i am aware nowhere else in the rotary world of tuning has any other tuner said rewire ur alarm urgently and this will cure ignition break up
i thing when altering timing/fuelling/boost u are going to get ignition break up and can minimise it with the ign amplifier but i just cannot get my head round the story that all rx7 have to now get their alarms rewired
these alarms are sold in their hundreds of thousands and nearly every rx7 in the world will have an alarm and yet nowhere on any forum can i find the tuners saying rewire ur alarm
now if this is indeed a problem then surely some of the other tuners could chime in here and either refute or substantiate this claim and we could all then rewire our alarms
however u have to be aware that rewire of ur alarm will invalidate its cat1 status and as such if stolen insurance company will not pay out thats a cast iron certainty

You make a good point, I\'m just thinking that any impovement that could be gained for next to no cost should be done, its a very simple job to remove the wiring from the coils once I have tracked it down, and was clearly proved to me on the dyno that re wiring the coils can improve the ignition.

I doubt all clifford alarms are wired like this on fd\'s. Mine definitly isnt and it was fitted by a pro

[allstaruk]

what do then normally wire them into, iirc corretly there are 2 imobaliser circuits.

[RobbieRX-7]

Mine is on the ignition relay and fuel pump

[allstaruk]

not sure I want to go down the fuel pump route either, I\'m sure i can find somewhere, maybe the starter motor.

There is no harm in cutting the fuel pump, as long as your cutting power to the relay coil only and not splicing into the actual pump feed wires there is no problem. Also there is no point cutting power to the starter motor. All they have to do is bump start the car if they wanna nick it, this happened to me years ago with a car that was fitted with a transponder immobiliser. The easiest thing for you is to wire a relay into the coils if you can see the actual join the alarm fitter did. Job done

Thats not a bad idea, thats not a bad idea at all
