how many of you have hit 400hp in a 12A? what is/was your setup?

 

ummmm. 400hp in a 12a is like pure drag setup. dont think you'll find many peeps here that have done that. ALTHOUGH, 250 - 300 is accessable! and shall be in my car soon enough!

 

400 is what i am aiming for....i think it will take me a good 2 to 3 years....but i want it to be a street driven car tho.....gonna put some wide *** tires to increase traction....thats all i know for now....but thats exactly wat i wanna have 400 hp from a 12a on a street driven first gen....

well, here's the minimum needed. good carb, huge port job, big turbo, nicely built tranny/rearend, ..... could be done. why 400hp though? my friends 240sx has 300rwhp and it's almost too much for the street. and that car weighs about 600lbs more than mine!!!! ahhhh!

 

a guy from work had a 12At with a large extend port. hi flowed series 4 turbo running about 15pounds that he clamed made around 300hp

but then he rolled the car multipal times. cus he forgot the turbo switch was on full boost, droped it a gear and took a hard s bend..
he still has the car with everything in it still working excpet there isnt any usable pannels.. and i want it off him!! i shal keep working on the negotiation

 

Apparently some kid in Brookfield WI claimed his first gen to be pushing out 350rwhp, but then again he was a stupid brookfield kid and full of crap.

 

Mine will be pushing 350+ rwhp when Im done with my 13BT swap .

Reality check. The drive line wont hold up long with that kind of power. You dont really need it in a car this light. Especially on the street.

 

Bah, whatever .

Im using a 13BT engine, tranny, custom driveline, and the stock LSD rear end so I guess it isnt really a 400HP 12A, but still fun . Any bets as to how long that stock LSD diff lasts? I hear theyre strong, but how strong is "strong"?

400 rwhp street 12a

 

Immmmmm. . . 400, doesnt that seem a little excessive for a 12a RX7 - is it really gonna get used properly? All that on our 50 kilometer an hour roads (average street speed here now) My STOCK 103 hp gets me into enough trouble. Mind you LOVE to see the final results and the pics and the details to go with it boys - good luck! (Nice to have all the $$ ya gonna need to get there.)

 

400hp 13bt will be much more streetable then a 1.1.

 

That's one point two, bitch!

 

I wanna make it happen and u know wat i don't care if it takes me 3 years i'll do it to my baby....get some custom driveline parts fabbed...that should do it....it's gonna cost a lot but hell it'll kick everyone's asses

500 HP 12A.



EDIT:

******* Forum sucks at Uploading!!!

 

there ya go guys, 400 is definatly possible. theres even someone on here with a 680rwhp 12A , thats his name too . could you use an FD tranny? i know alot of them are pushing past the 400 mark. the 400 goal is not the end of my car, this is just my project until i graduate college (im a senior in high school now). right now i am shooting for close to 200hp with a large street port, rb exhuast, weber 48 IDA, DLIDFIS, etc. hopefully i can get that far before i start college. then ill start saving for my turbo stuff and start working on the 400 goal

 

I would be happy with 200. lol

 

Yeah, hes actually got like 720 now supposedly. Ive seen a dyno video, and it sure looks like a hell of a lot of power...

~T.J.

 

stock FC turbo LSD is good for ~400 if you're not constantly raping it. The tranny is good for more than that, probably 475-500. This is at the wheels, btw.

 

AJC13B had 430+hp at one point, and that car just looked *barely* streetable if at all... I sure wouldn't drive it on the street.

I'm with faye, I'd be happy with 200. An easily attainable civic-bashing goal, with reasonable 1/4 mile times, and great streetability. If I built a drag-specific car though... watch out! :P (but I'd have to win a lottery first)

It's almost 1.2 but technically it's still 1.1L, i prefer the smaller number better when i talk to people.

 

my short term goal is to be able to beat my friends stock 04 WRX. i should be able to with 200hp. hes got awd so he'd take me off the line, but he also has turbo lag, and at full boost he only hits 227hp and his car weighs 3085 pounds

 

Well I've got a V-8 in mine and I hope to get 400 outta that, cudos to you for getting that outta the 12A!!!!!

 

oh don't worry i'll manage 400 from my 12a some time in the future....but it will sure as hell be faster than ur v8...thank the lightness of the great rotary

peace,
Gufran

 

how in the hell did he squeeze 720 horses out of his motor?
