LOL. That's pretty funny: Went FROM the PFC *TO* Haltech and then blows it up AFTER getting it tuned.
So much for your local tuners.
I''ve access to the group and notes, though I haven't looked at it, for a while. Doing a pretty stout build on our TTS/TT1 car so I'm not too far off to needing the notes...
Actually, I think the final is going to be my getting the track car done, then the turbo vert, pack BOTH of them on a truck and scoot them off to someplace to have them BOTH tuned.
Any reputable PFC tuning spots in/ around Florida (And if anyone suggests Pettit, I'll scream)?

I was actually laughing at the irony.
I've had mebbe a half-dozen different tuning boxes, over the years. Rarely it's the box, generally it's EBKAC (Error Between Keyboard and Chair - Tuning Error)...
That or all of that wompy tuning that went on killed it to where the Haltech couldn't cover the damage done, with safe-tuning.
Re-read the post and look at the linear flow of time, you'll see what I mean.

That's what I kind of was going after. Wasn't saying it was SOLELY the work of ill-tining; not by any stretch.
Out of the 5 RX7s I've owned, usually tuning extends the longevity of an engine if it has any mechanical problems.
Go ahead and close it, I was just trying to figure out whatever happened to all of this. Both 'Arghx' and 'Cewrx7r1' really know their ****, when it comes to the tuning and I was kind of hoping that it all worked out for the best.

It's a tough pill to swallow, but the key to tuning an engine that lasts is to do what the OEM's do and leave power on the table... overbuild, leave a safety margin, and don't try to keep up with numbers you saw on the internet. Nobody wants to hear that, but there's a reason why stock engine tunes on stock engines are usually idiot proof (except for a few notable exceptions such as the Cadillac 2.8 turbo SRX and 2008+ Subaru STi). This is especially critical when you are running pump gas without a good knock control system.
