You'll have to change jets and other things unless it came off an engine similar to yours.
Check to see what you have before buying anything, jets are like $5 a piece so tuning can nickel and dime you to death if you don't know which way to go.

welcome to the forum. may i suggest using google to aid in ur search for info on this carb. this is what i got with, "rx7club 48 ida".

https://www.google.com/search?client...=rx7club+48ida

all these aftermarket carbs for the rotary has been covered may times. this may be a better way to get results from this forum than what the search function on the forum does.

Also, you can get jets much cheaper on amazon from a supplier named Rockcarberator. Their prices are a fraction of sites like Pegasus, and they seem to be functional, I am currently running them on my Dcoe setup. Of course, these are straight from China, and you will need to message the supplier what specific jet sizes you need. Like I said, these jets are functional but may not be as high quality as jets from a real supplier like Pegasus.

I知 pretty sure it came off another 12a it runs surprisingly good but I turned the fuel pressure up to 4.5 and I fouled the plugs and plugs are like $40 for this car so before I put the new ones in what should I do to get it perfect
