Need a datalog it or similar to tune them properly, hand controller is just for small adjustments and a pitta to tune with. I would avoid a microtech also, cant say ive tuned one myself but have heard stories from other tuners and are old tech now also I dont think the air pump would effect anything tune wise Edit; Also if you wanted me to tune it. you'd have to deal with me moaning about the power fc and to buy a link Any idea on the rear housing on the G35 6262? (pulsar) guessing the 1.01? as the .82, .83 and .85 would be a little small right? (it would be a G35-900 in Garrett turbo) Thats kind of the turbo size I had in my head for similar power goals to the factory turbos (lower boost) (with some more in it :p) on a 13B but always keen to see real world Rob Dahm says the G40-900 is the best all round rotary turbo but he also pushed 700hp with it haha Quote
kiwi808 Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 I say go link. And a massive single turbo. No regrets. 3 1 Quote
Dell'orto Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 Can confirm Link and big single turbo are an excellent choice, do try it. 5 Quote

Popular Post RXFORD Posted October 31, 2024 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2024 The Virm has actually been updated recently and made it illegal for Yellow Rx7s to have oem turbos. So only way you will get a wof is if you fit a single BorgWarner 300sxe. 5 12 Quote
Dell'orto Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 As a VI with my own IO, I can confirm this is absolutely 100% true. I've also heard that you can't have them certified with OE turbos now too, so guess you've got no real option. 1 1 2 Quote
gibbon Posted October 31, 2024 Author Posted October 31, 2024 stuff it I'm just going to ask @ProZac why can't most aftermarket ecu's handle the FD sequential turbo arrangement? Quote
440bbm Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 my guess it looks like it would need alot of drivers /IO's if there are 10 solenoids alone for the sequential vacuum solenoids. what else needs that much going on, bearing in mind its a niche market and catering for the masses.. who would want to spend such amount of money on a shit system. would seriously suck if the turbos then shit themselves which are relatively common when they have been squeezed harder 1 Quote
gibbon Posted October 31, 2024 Author Posted October 31, 2024 I'm not sure all those solenoids are for turbo control (sounds like many might be emissions?) and I think that some of the solenoids would be using the same input signal ie secondary turbine feed valve would probably work at the same time as secondary compressor outlet valve. basically I thought the computer's output might be as simple as "i want one turbo" or "i want two turbos", and the rest would be handled in-house by the rat's nest But given that nobody supports it, probably not I wonder how the power FC manages it?

mjrstar Posted November 1, 2024 Posted November 1, 2024 From what I understand the phasing of the changeover on the sequentials is quite critical, like the old vtec crossover, but quite a bit more going on...and by far the cleanest option to smooth out the changeover is to place the twon turbo setup in a bin, and run a single turbo in true zoom zoom boom fashion. This was from old mate with the fd rally car that ran a bit of a rotary performance shop in the states when FD's were first produced, back when a 10 second Japanese performance car was pretty wild. The story goes he had maybe 3 of the pre production run cars direct from Japan before they went on sale to run in the IMSA series and to build intercooler kits and even some early dodgy piggyback ecu thing pretty much before japanese tuning options existed... I think even he referred to it as the purple motor eater, something about lack of knock control on low octane or something.. https://www.rx7club.com/pfs-pmc-272/peter-farrell-purple-box-702385/ Oh how technology moved on from 30 years ago..
