Re: rx7 help
I have only messed around with the power fc but if i recall you have to use datalogit to tune it (the hand thing is a pain in the ass). Ill look it up in a little bit

This is the forum that should answer most of your questions regarding it. There is a link in one of the FAQ's for the datalogit software.

Re: rx7 help
You are able to tune without the datalogit. You just have to access the fuel map on the Commander, you are also able to adjust idle, etc.

Re: rx7 help
Okay- 1st thing first...You should not play with it at all. Period. If the car's running well there is no reason for you to mess with the tune. My last car was also a 93 rx7 running the same EMS so I can tell you that if you have no tuning experience you should leave it up to the pros...with a dyno.
