You'll need to run the stock ECU from the 86 to control timing, as the FC's get their signal from the CAS whereas the FB's get their signal from a distributor. In all honesty it would be much easier and way less wiring to use the FB ignition system again.

For the exhaust it'll be a hot debate, whether to run long primaries and do a true-dual exhaust system (one pipe for each rotor housing) back from the header to a collector at the muffler or just run a single-back pipe from a collector right at the header. 2-1/2" pipe is all you'll need, and even that is probably over-sized for your application.

Replied in your other thread: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generati...-pack-1136695/

For your exhaust you really want to the true dual full exhaust of the RB SP system. Get the whole package, its a bolt on an will last longer than the car. It will help make that weber sing.
