Yeah I'm not sure when it's coming out... I know AEM is working on a new generation system. One of the things that will be tricky is tuning the injection timing. That's not something that can be easily worked out with just a chassis dyno and a wideband.

I am confident that somebody will figure something out for engine management provided that there is enough demand. I'm sure 25-30 years ago there was a similar situation as multipoint injection became common and most performance guys only knew how to mess with carbs. There are going to be a lot of issue to work through though.

You just reminded me of something.. Theres a RX7 race car with a wrx engine... I think its at a guys place who collects old Mazdas.

Its a car here in NZ. It was talked about when I was looking at a thread on guys that collected massive lots of Old School Cars.
I personally havnt seen it. I Have been to the place once before to look at a 1600 Subaru wagon for parts.
Place was full of 808 Mazdas? Looks like the RX3 but has the inline motor, 323s, RX2 shaped Mazdas and a few RX7s, B1600 utes? Not sure if the guy had it there when I went there.
I didnt even know about it other wise I would have had a looky at it.
Think the guy was a owner of a wreckers so he got the stuff he wanted at his house.
