its from the 93 rx7 service highlights book, i think you can still get it. it explains how stuff works and why they used it pretty neat. the rx8 service highlights book has a goood section on that too.



the fd book is pn #9999-95-045f-93

How does a wide band display info?

Does it tell you the exact afr?
they make kits that convert it for you.



what EMS do you plan on running? Wargasm has a good setup with the PFC, datalogit and wideband.

Not sure yet, But when i get around to doing more with my car next year. I will need more fuel so the purple box i have now isnt gonna cut it. I've been browsing the AEM forum and it looks liek a cool *** unit. Its either that or PFC so far. But I am not serious about buying anything at the moment. I have to learn hoe to go about tunning my car first. My last tuner turned out to big a Big jack *** that I can't stand now so I'm starting the learning process on my own as far as tunning goes. Hopefully my car holds out till i learn.

i think what you will find is that all the different systems have their pros ans cons and you need to decide witch one is the best fit for you.



FOR EXAMPLE

the pfc is a super easy install, and runs the stock stuff, but its a little harder to tune cause you need the datalogit



the tec3 is harder to install, its more invasive to the car, you have to mount the coils, and the ecu, the software is intimidating, but it gives you lots of options



the e6k can be easy to install, it will run all of the stock stuff if you want it, its easy to program, the interface is simple. its a little limited to the amount of stuff that it can run (fans/emissions solenoids etc)

The PFC is easy to work with when using the datalogit. Wargasm plugged his datalogit and wideband into my car and we did some tunning a few weeks ago. The software is really simple, and as long as you arent refarted with computers that would be good. I picked it up pretty well after a few hours of tunning, even being the driver





aww did you and mr rikki have a fight? j/k

you can down load the manual for the haltech at the haltec site, i think. i read thru that, i understand a bit more about tuning, its haltech specific, but its still helps.....
