Boost or juice would have solved that. Or just a little bit of either

Ricer Excuse
1. Vtec disengaged
2. Vtec solenoid is leaking
3. its to hot outside
4. my clutch is slipping
5. i have to much stuff in the trunk
6. i have a passenger
7. i need to clean my intake its dirty
8. i need a new tune
9. i was shifting to slow trying to take it easy
10. you got the jump on me

actually, i had a friend that had nitrous on his supercharged RX7 that he used daily. We actually used it as our Senior Captstone project. We showed that technically a NOS helps to lower your engine temp.... sort of. It was that the temp went up just a little, but he had a good power boost so the ratio of temp to power was better with the NOS.

Anyway, he set it up to just give a pretty small shot (forget the size), and it was tied into his cars computer. It wasnt until he was past 75% gas throttle that it would kick in. To be honest it felt similar to the VTEC on the S2ks, just that it was based on how far he had his foot down instead of his RPMs. One sorta small tank lasted him weeks.

Most of your advanced nitrous kits are that way. Not switched enabled like F&F but TPS and/or gear selective. On my Evo it had nozzles for spraying the IC when it was hot outside. You could use water or nitrous. Thats why people can use water but you get a better effect with nitrous, its not that it is flamable (F&F showed that it was) but it is that more can be injected adding more compression while also cooling the motor.

Out of curiousity what gen RX-7 was it? I would assume 2nd?
