I've owned my first gen7 for the last 6 years and its been a ongoing project.it was originally purchased for 100 dollars with bad apex seals.that was till i got a 12a with no leaks and only 65,000 miles on it.it came from a 83.can anybody suggest any easy mods??or mods that are affordable.up to today i havedone the following mods:
1.dynomax turbo muffler
2.accel spark plug cables
3.remove ac completely
4.frequent maintanance
5.new rebuild carb nikki 4barrel
6.small tires front/small wide rear tires( enkei)
7.complete new suspension.

 

-electric fan
-lsd and rear discs if you dont already have em
-remove emissions
-get a header and make your exhaust more free flowing
-hawk hp+ brake pads and ss lines

what are your goals for the car?

 

weber intake system! thats good for at least 40 horses, but please GET A EXHAUST HEADER! that would help the most , go to racing beat.

 

where can i purchase weber intake systems from?


and whats a header

or a nikki carb..


thanx

 

And header is the tubes that connect to your exhaust ports. If your muffler is what craps out your exhaust, your header is the mouth.

is that a good enough description?

 

Whats a header ? A header is a manifold for the exhuast on internal cumbustion engines. On motorcycles
there are headers or chambers. On race VW's there are called extractors. Mods. performance ? or looks ? One mod that does both is change over to stainless steel
braided hoses. A better type of air cleaner. Wheel studs.
A hi-flow cat. keep in mind that these mods are to keep the engine stock as much as possible. Oh and a performance clutch.

Timmy,

How the hell can you have 200+ posts and not know what a header and Nikki are?

As mentioned above, a header is an exhaust piece that attaches to the exhaust holes on the engine block. It replaces the "thermal reactor" and is designed to be much more free flowing, thus increasing HP.

Nikki is the name of the company that makes the stock carburetor for the Rx7. Stock Nikki's are alright for stock engines, but once you get any porting done, or any major performance modifications, your HP will be limited by keeping the stock carburetor. Holley, Weber and Dellorto make intake kits (carburetor, intake manifold, air cleaner) for the Rx7 which flow more air/fuel and thus also increase HP.

You can find both weber intake kits and Exhaust Headers at www.racingbeat.com .

Oh, and Timmy, spend some good quality time reading around in the forum, grab a Heynes manual, and for goodness' sake get an Avatar! You have over 100 posts so you can even have a custom one if you want.

any body selling used performance parts..

i have some 2nd gen extra parts...trade

 

im interested in atleast headers

 

any webbers out there

 

Thank god he said it, because I sure was thinking it.

 

rx7?

is that a some sort of a cpu chip?

 

how about a lightened flywheel! makes a good deal of difference above 4000RPM.

 

Yes, all modern computers have them, right next to the amplification transmoglifyer, it basically tells the unit whether the user is a fuckup or not.

 

LOL! timmy may not know what a header is but he sure cracks me up.

 

I thought the Rx7 chip was usually somewhere closer to the Mr. Fusion than the transmogrifier... Now I'm so confused.

K&N air filter is an easy mod

 

An exhaust header is an exhaust manifold that has equal length extractors so there is no turbulence when the air from the two tubes joins at the outlet. An extractor is the term typically used for headers overseas, not only on "race VW's". Extractors actually makes a little more sense than "headers", but so does football/soccer etc. Anyway, you get the point. Talk to any englishman or aussie and they'll start throwin' around the terms extractors, boot, and bonnet. Figure out the last two on your own.

Boot is a trunk, and a bonnet is a hood.
