1680cc injectors
Aeromotive AFPR
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Magnecor 10mm wires

You need to get the car tuned. Your map is useless now and possibility unsafe to boost but it sounds like its just pig rich from the bigger injectors.

Can anyone help me out with some minor corrections. It bogs out at high rpm even even if I'm hardly making any boost. AFR reads 10 flat from 4500 up. At 6k it gets so bad it bogs out. Not trying to beat on the car I just want to be able to drive it to work for a few days til I can get an appointment to dyno tune it.

Maybe if you provide your current map so that we can look at it.

what are your primary injectors? 550's?

Did you change the injector settings or anything so far so is it still set up for 850 secondaries?

Do you have a datlogit or commander only?

If you do not have a DATALOGIT, you can not properly setup the map.
Find a good tuner and take the car there ASAP since you are new to RX7s.

Im new to rx7s but im not an idiot dude. Im not gonna romp on it and risk detonation on a recently rebuilt motor. Being that Im at least 3 hours from the closest tuner its gonna be a drive no matter where I go.

primaries are 550s
secondaries still set for 850s.. nothing has been touched
i have commander only

be careful

Hey you need to set up the injectors to match what you are running to start with.

Cewerx7 is correct, he doesn't think you are an idiot, he just doesn't want you to pop your motor. You need to take it to a tuner who has a datalogit. You have too many mods to really be driving around with the "base map" whichever one it is. Especially if you are "matting the gas" and going past 6psi boost, this is very dangerous in an untuned rotary.

You need to se the secondary flow rate to match your injectors go to settings->injetor and change the Q-Sc to match your injector value of 1680 (I think with the commander you might only be able to go up to 1500, but at least it is closer and wil keep you on the rich side unti you get tuned..).

You should really change the front and rear secondary injector lag to something appropriate for your injectors. You will have to look at your documentation or search the forum to find a good value to start with.

Watch your AFR's after you make the changes and if you do bost the car which I don't recommend make sure you are in the ~11s or richer to start with under boost to be safe.

Good luck.

^ Changing the secondary setting doesn't change any fueling.

The base map should let you be able to drive the car around in vacuum and low RPM on stock 550's. You should not be boosting on an untuned setup so the fact that it goes 10's doesn't matter and is actually a good thing. You need to get the car tuned, plain and simple.

If you have a datalogit, we might be able to give you a little more drivable map.

Also, on a side note, when you set fuel pressure, did you have the car running AND the vacuum hose off the regulator? Fuel pressure should be set to 38-40 PSi with the vacuum hose off and car running.

Set it to 38 PSi with the hose off and the car running. If the car drives smooth enough in vacuum and low RPM, you could drive it there.

Putting your injector cc's in there is only used to calculate duty cycle but doesn't actually change anything in the tune itself.

edit - actually it might affect when your secondary injectors stage but that wouldn't have a large impact on much.

The pressure should go back down with the vac reconnected. Your guage is maesuring relative to open air and the regulator is controlling relative to that vac/boost line.

Sounds right. Not all cars will behave the same. How much it drops, depends on how much vacuum your motor pulls at idle. That is why you unplug the vacuum hose to set the base pressure since your setting it in reference to atmosphere.

Think of it this way. you are measuring how much pressure is in the rail relative to the air outside. But the rail pressure really has to remain constant relative to where the fuel is spraying out (the fuel sprays into the intake manifold not the air).

When you are idling there is vacuum in the intake, so essentially the fuel is being sucked out of the injectors, so you don't need as much push from the fuel pressure to spray the fuel out. If the rail pressure didn't go down you would spray too much fuel.

On the other side when you are under boost the intake is pressurized by the turbo, so the air in the intake is pushing against the fuel preventing it from coming out of the injectors. The fuel pressure increases to compensate for this, otherwise you would not spray enough fuel.

So the pressure between the fuel rail and intake manifold are actually staying relatively the same ~38psi, but the pressure reltive to the outside air is fluctuating. If you had a differential pressure meter and measured beween the fuel rail and intake manifold it would stay about the same at 38psi when youa re under vacuum and boost...

hope this makes it easier to understand what is going on...
