how hard is tuning on the power fc? ive never really had to tune a car besides messing with a fpr for air/fuel on a civic. ill mostlikely get a laptop but will i need the controller also? i really feel lost on this subject and would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me better understand it, thanks

To tune properly with the powerFc you will need:

Datalogit w/software - approx $300
Laptop
Wideband O2 setup (and I suggest you get one that integrates to the datalogit) approx $300-$400

Then you will have to spend alot of time learning about tuning in general for the rx7.

What part of Nc you in?

im in catawba, near hickory. it seems kinda frightening that an rx7 will need to be so perfectly tuned, and im not going to be able to do it, im not used to that

how far could i get with a piggy back like a e-manage? or a safc-2? my friend has a 93 touring and he has a safc-2 but if its the wrong way to go i do NOT wanna follow in his footsteps

That I cant tell you as I have never used one of those...

But if you are going to keep modifying the car you need to go with a programable stand alone. It is not to hard to pick up, there is plenty of info on it out there - it just takes a little work.

I bought my car in hickory 2 and a half years ago. I now live in huntersville (north of charlotte) so I dont think I am too far. I know there are a few guys up in your area - you should try to meet up with them. You can get so much info by attending meets.
