Default Buick powered Rx-7 progressive kit install

First off I'd like to say this car was made on a budget. It has made over 100 1/4 mile passes and hurt the feelings of many local street rodders. Up to date I have not spent over 7k total on this car. I'm not looking to win any appearance awards. The car does what it was meant to do and I have alot of fun with it. The motor and trans had 128k on them when installed. Since I have rebuilt the trans. Motor is still running strong. Even stronger now with the Progressive Controller. My previous best was 11.89 at 116 mph...

I had already made my own DIY alcohol injection kit . I'm only useing the Devils Own Progressive Controller. My kit was pieced together and for the price of a Devils Own complete kit I would DEFINATLY reccomend going that route. My setup would look alot nicer, and cost me less money if I did. But again I race my car, I'm not very concerned about cosmetics.

Heres the install...

I used a 2.5 gallon gas tank as my methanol resevoir. Directly under it is s shur flo 1.8 GPM pump set at 160psi max.













Anyway this thing installed in less than an hour and I am running 22* total timing on 91 octane at 25lbs of boost! This is a te-61 turbo. I am getting no knock retard/detonation. And best of all There is no lag. I don't even feel this thing come on. System is set to come on at 3lbs of boost and ramp up pump voltage/pressure per lb of boost until it maxes out. EGT's have dropped about 250* or so. I'm at around 1560*. I'm sure with some more tweaking I can squeeze a little more timing and boost.

With a 1.5 60' I would have been in the tens! alcohol kit works awesome.... But the boost comes on so quickly now even at a 0lb launch I blow the tires off! Still a 121 trap on street tires and 91 octane isn't bad!

That's a really sweet swap. I am thinking about doing the same but in to a Miata. I am researching to see what parts I will need and how much it might cost me. Hopefully, I will get close to your times.
