Getting Dyno tuned Friday, Any suggestions?
I have an appointment this Friday to have my Greddy turbo tuned, I hae had the kit on since about last May but it was never tuned and it really needs tuneing. Te shop that is doing has done RX-7s before so the are familiar with rotary engines and say like can do the 8, but as we all know the Renesis is not the same as other 13Bs. So does anyone have any suggestions, like whats a good AFR range?

horse, i love your 8! I am thinking of getting the same body kit on my blue 8. could you post or pm me some more pics of it?
also you have the greddy and zex wet? have you sprayed the car since the greddy was installed? any problems with detination?
i also wanted to do a greddy turbo w/ nitrous, but thought it would kill the engine without proper tuning.
sorry about being so off topic and hijacking the thread!

whats that reset, may help the rest of us with trim problems? I always just pull the negative terminal on battery, tried the reset on the tripometer, but that did not change the a/fs.

Ex- member.
metal rattling = detonation. And your detonating because your driving around with no emanage map!!
Did the shop or Benny tell you not to go into boost since your map was erased?
Did the rpms "stick" as soon as the boost went positive?
"Pop" under the hood is never a good thing. Keep us posted on how bad it is.

wait, you had a major problem with your fuel management, and you were driving the car, let alone "pushing the pedal to the floor". im sorry, but that was just plain stupid. now im not saying that it is totally your fault, but the shop should have said something to you about not driving aggressively, and you should know if something isnt right, you shouldnt drive aggressively. i do feel bad that you wrecked your engine, and i hope you get things worked out. contact mazmart about a new motor, you should be able to get a used one in good condition for a relatively decent price

Check your heat tape. Since you are probably running very lean the turbo temps would get high enough to start burning the undercoating on the chassis as it did on mine. I will be installing a new heat sheild that I made of 14 guage to stop the smell.
Just a thought.
