Default Re: RICESP Water Injected RX7

Doing the boost map learning process today on a little test drive, was very hot, official temperature was 27 deg C but it felt more like 30 deg C where I was testing. Anyway at a peak of 1.56bar (1.72kg/cm) boost in 3rd gear @7800rpm it showed 41 deg C ! & 880 deg C EGT....... this is unreal, the car accelerated just as fast as what it did on a 18 to 20 deg C ambient test.

At one point 20 minutes further on opening up the throttle the IAT registered 19 deg C!!! never ever had this before so the new rate of WI is effective and whats more very combustible with big gains in performance and safety factor.

Once the boost is set at the 1.85kg/cm setting across the rpm range I'll re-test at standard temp and pressure day to see how much better it is in like conditions.
