From what I've read on the e85 forums some people have actually had cleaner emissions with gas. I guess it depends on your setup and tuning.

Nice choice on everything. This is going to be a badass car. Those fuel pump brackets are awesome, i saw a picture of one at the top of the forum but i had no idea who made it. I think i should ditch my sumped tank for one of those. I'm guessing you have the xcessive LIM as well?

Yeah the xsessive lim is being used and there oil Pan AZRR worked with them to have a baffle and mounting holes for the stock level sender.

I have used cj product alot and they are pretty bad ***...

Nice choice of parts.. Nice work too...

As a kid I never thought I'd like corn they way I do now..

Your 750hp goal might be a little on the high side though. 650 is more reasonable.
Either way as you stated 500 for everyday use is more then enough anyway...

Should do just fine. M4 might be old tech but still better then most of the other ecu's available. Plus with your cdi and seq ignition it's going to run real good.

You might want to be watch out with paul yaw doing your tunning. You should ask him how many rx8 engines he blew up last year for a koni challenge team (i know the number). He knows the motec very well but he makes some bad choices on what he thinks should work.

RX7goZoomZoomBoom: Sure would appreciate any elaboration on what you describe as Paul's "bad choices." As one of his customer, I'm very interested in any insight you might offer.

I'll defer to Glen, as it's his thread, as to whether this should occur offline/PM.

I would like to hear it ...I pretty sure its not very factual...I worked for Paul for quite sometime and I have never seen an engine blow up becuase of his tuning or for that matter anything he has done. The guy changes a seal clearence and he will not use it unless he spends 10hours on an engine dyno to make sure it works first.

I was the engine builder for Paul so I know first hand his capabilities...But I am open everyone is human ( i think Paul is, no proof of that)

Who is this? Paul did not blow up any of my engines. I AM THAT KONI CHALLENGE GUY/TEAM/OWNER/DRIVER and Yaw (who is a VERY close personal friend) had nothing to do with the engine failure. Zero. The engine issue was a radius cut on all the side seals which Paul did not perform nor was he aware of.

If I was tuning a motor the first guy I'd go to would be Paul and the second guy I'd go to is the guy that Paul refers me to.

Too much bull_hit on these forums that the majority of people believe.

Amen Eric, Its a shame I cant show my build and talk to my friends with out some yahoo spouting off about how bad he heard some one was....

I will be having Paul tune my engine and anything else he will... I have a steller reputation as a rotary engine builder and I owe most of it to Paul(the warden) Yaw.
