Hi

I've recently purchased my first Rx7. I've had a few rotarys in the past but I'm new to the 7 scene.

It's got a 12a turbo in it and I'm trying to figure out whether this was standard or its been changed out.

I know there are modifications done to the intake & turbo etc. But I'm trying to see if it was a production 12at.

Also I'd love some help with finding the colour codes for the 2 tone gold/brown that came out in around 84. That looked great imo.

Thanks

Mike

 

This era 2 tone.

 

I think the 12At was only sold new in Japan. Here's a pic of that engine as it left the factory (note the distinctive red/orange intake and fan).


I don't think it had an intercooler. Yours looks like a nice aftermarket setup, like the Auzzie ones here....

 

as mentioned, what u have is aftermarket and looks like what pac performance uses. even the ignition system isn't stock.

 

Wow, I didn't even notice the ignition upgrades. Mykimike35 you have a nice, stock looking car with tasteful turbo upgrades. Nice sleeper!

 

It would appear that I have the same intake setup as those pac machines.

We got 12a turbos in New Zealand, as we import from Japan, I'm unsure about Aus where i am now though. I'm getting different info on the dates they were produced.

Is there any way to search the chassis number?
