My father and I are doing beginning a project together to make a fully programable engine managment system by this summer (ign, fuel, etc.). He's made controllers for 4-cyl, 2-cyl, etc. but nothing for a rotary. My dad plans to get the PC board designed by summer time (as this is a side project) and I need to do all the programming. I'll be instaling it on my car first to test the system out but he plans to sell a few for fun. He's estimating that it'll cost $400 for the system. It'll be a limited production but it'll be a lot cheaper than any other system out there. He runs Control Systems Inc. http://electroniccontrol.com. There's not much to look at but for credibility purposes. I'll post updates on the project as it progresses.



I posted this in the performance section but decided to post here to let all the 2nd gen owners know of this.

I think a "black box" to convert the flapper style MAF to a hot wire type, such as the Ford ones would be a great idea too.

No there will not be any MAF any more. I was discussing this with my dad a little more and we talked about maybe making a drive by wire system for the throttle. I think that's a little too elaborate though. I'll look into the MAF to hot wire type thing.

Oh and if you have a laptop and the program for it than you can record everything.

sounds interesting depending on usability and features id be all for it, especially if it saves money.
