I've owned four 1st Gens over the years, an '82, two '79s and an '81.

All had 12As.

All were carbureted, either with the stock Nikki or the RE dual 32/36 DCDs.

I was happy. I was content. I loved my RX-7s.

But then, I had to go out and buy a SE on Tuesday.

Hoooleee-sheet.

It starts without a ****. It warms up on its own. And the torque.... oh the torque.....



I mean, yeah, the radio doesn't work, the steering has 2-3 inches of play, some (hopefully) minor rust to deal with and the glass sunroof is actually plastic (seriously, it bends) but it's quick, it's quiet and it rides like a dream.

The interior is nice too.

Now how the heck am I supposed to go back to a 12A? HOW?

 

Crossed the line,no going back now.lol

 

The answer, the only answer I can give you at this point is... "hogged out Nikki". It will walk all over that 30 year old EFI and usually doesn't need a ****. Heck I installed a **** in my GSL-SE but I don't use it.

That's with the current 13B. Putting my money where my mouth is, I'm gonna be doing a nice 12A that will embarrass any stock* GSL-SE. Oops, did I let that slip? Oh well cat's outta the bag now. Can't put it back in.

*stock to modified, not much difference really, compared to what I have planned. Tee Hee.

Enjoy your... torque!
