Boost leaks in quite a few places. Fixed them... Oil pan was leaking again... Tried ultra grey this time... Put on a bead, tightened slowly till is started to squeeze out. Let it dry over night. Torqued it down. let it dry another day then filled it. This is like the 3rd try Hope it works... Also found this

Took my car to Dyno for Elliot to tune.. Had a stinking fuel leak on top of the tank(((. Couldn't tune...
Oh well. Back to the more important things in life... I probably won't be doing to much on the car for a while... It's all good though... Because... Family First

Congratulations on the new addition to your family! Great build so far, really inspiring stuff. One question, what did you do with the carb and one piece manifold from your original blowthrough attempt?

Congrats on the new addition to the family my dude! And might I say, this build has given me an auto-boner in the most hetero way. Good to see a fellow Wisco'n showin' rotary love. If you make it over the Green Bay area hit me up, I'd love to see it in person.

Been trying to tune my car a little bit by myself.. I got it running better and it super rich all across the board, with one exception, when I punch the throttle or even moderately quickly push the throttle.. It goes WAYYY lean for a second then rich again.. I've been slowly taking fuel out of it.. It's pretty insane fast but I have to have the throttle in a "sweet spot" If I have it completely floored it mins out my wideband at 10. But if I let off a bit it stays at 10 bit pulls HARD... I had what I think is a 1000 cc rocket riding my butt, so after my turn off from 15-120mph I pulled away from him..... I just don't know enough about tuning.. Might just give up till next year

Even with the throttle pumps all Maxxed it's still terribly lean. I will admit I've never tuned anything besides a carb and don't really know what I'm doing

Can anyone give me advice on tuning the map or where I should set my staging for my secondaries?? I try to smooth and lean out my maps because I'm rich rich rich everywhere but when I do it seems like it won't stay running when I give it gas.. Even with very very slow accel and take offs .. Hope my throttle body isn't too much CFM...

Well these are for a MegaSquirt, but here's the table from Aaron's base map (suitable for turbo). Here the map is showing the secondary injector duty.

Sorry for the ignorance but I'm not too sure that I know how to make anything of that.. For E6k it's all bar graphs... And I have 725 and 2200cc injectors..
