This is my first RX7, and I've only had it a few weeks. I've noticed that when accelerating, I lose power at about 3600rpm... for about 2 seconds.... and then it kicks back in. Any suggestions? Also... what are some relatively cheap ways to add some power? Thanks. :smilewinkgrin:

That sounds like the dreaded 3800 RPM hesitation. Try looking at:

Guys, i had great results when I moved the ground cable that's near the injectors and moved it to the rear iron housing. I bolted it to the bolt that holds the clutch inspection plate. The problem went away.

It is usually bolted on to the fuel and vacumm rails where it usually bolts on to the aluminun housing. Move that to the rear iron housing and try it.

You should also check the small exhaust pressure pipe that activates the secondary ports. as long as your not a T2...
