1978 RX-7 with supercharged 20B!

I try to keep up with all RX-7 deveolpments. Thus, was interested when I saw a 79 with a blown 20B which did the 1/4 in 9.4 seconds.

If anyone wants to look at what you can do with a gen 1, go to www.blown3rotor.com. There are great photos in the latest news section which really show the motor. I love the side spoilers.

Enjoy, its a great website, and dream of your next project.

Forgot to mention, the archived newsletters are worth reading and some contain more interesting photos. Their target is 1400hp!
