But with that being said. . . Now that I'm EFI and everything is smooth and functioning properly, that may be the very reason for the lackluster feel. . You know, like an RX8  I guess my car needs more grit. TURBO?! |
It could just be like MC's car.... the first time I tuned it on the dyno it felt great, but on the street the transition wasn't quite right and the car was a little jerky, the boost came up WAY fast because of a slight lean hiccup @ 0psi. Car made 411rwhp @ 14.5psi on an Apexi RX6. MC built the engine and used stock Apex seals so I was a little easier on the tuning than I would be on my car.
Then I got my hands on it a second time. This time my engine, my build, my choice of Apex seals. I spent a day street tuning the car to perfection, then we went to the dyno. This time I got to my normal level of aggression while tuning. Shooting fireballs, bouncing off the rev limiter, etc etc. MC, Bawb, Jack and Levi were there. One particular backfire was rather loud and all four faces went ghost, they thought I blew it. I scoffed and kept tuning. Got to 12.5psi and 397rwhp before a strap broke. MC wouldn't let me go any farther... I was bummed, I could've gotten 425rwhp but it was a little too close to DGRR so we stopped.
A few days later MC called and said something to the effect of, the car is slower than it was before, it's not as violent, it's too predictable, drives like a stock car until you mash the throttle and all the while I'm thinking, these are compliments
but it wasn't as jerky and knarly and felt slower, even though it was actually faster. So it could be one of those situations where it feels slower, because it's actually smoother and not nearly as violent.
It could also be that you were about 20* retarded when I saw your timing map but without zeroing the timing and getting it on a dyno, throwing that much timing at it could prove detrimental.
That being said, I love me some turbo rotary.... unless it's a renni.... in that case it's like re-electing Obama, you know it's a complete waste of time and going to be nothing but a disappointment so why are we even talking about it?
