I am doing a 6-port turbo set up right now. I am going with a draw through system with my racing beat holley 600. Probably be done in a few weeks. I have everything but some jets. Can't wait. What mods need to be done to the mani to get it on the 6-port motor?

 

don't know about the mods to do to the manifold .. i'm wondering about this myself lol...

Do my dellorto can be used in a turbo application ?

 

any other advices ? should i sell the dellorto and buy a weber or a holley?

 

...

 

well, whatever carb you use, make sure it's turbo prepped so it doesnt flood out or actually lean out. i would say the holley's have the most support. also i would truly love to point out that a turbo carbed rotary can eeeasily be daily driven with no problems having both streetability and top end power!!! if you want better gas mileage, THEN spend another grand on stand alone. PFFFFT!

 

Turbo carb setups can easily be driven, you just have to get it based right and it shouldn't be a problem. Its just the same as being N/A. The same rules apply, atleast for me, being draw through.

 

ok cool !

 

thanks red13brx7; see wankel!!!!!

 

hum... anybody here can turbo prepped my carb ?

 

why do you have to spend 1k on fuel injection? And you are trying to tell me that you can same drivabilty and performance from a turbo carb setup. ok... you can get close but what happens when the weather changes are you going to have to re jet you carb, i wont its programmed into my computer, you chose... lets be for real its 2004

 

I'm real enough, I am cheap and I like doing things myself. I know I could do the EFI if I really wanted to, but I enjoy being old school and working on carbs. Yea, and I am only 19, and learning what others will never know about carbs. So its cool with me, I know it is stone age technology, but o well, its cheap and affordable, without as "many" headaches, especially if you work with someone (Dad) who hates wiring.

 

Jet changes take less than 5 minutes, it isn't really a big deal. FI shouldn't run on correction factors during the cold weather anyway, they should have the maps retuned for drastic (+-40 degree F) weather changes just like carbs. It is a ton easier to tune carbs though. Every time you modify the car you will have to retune with either FI or carb, carbs will take far less time.

Don't forget the RRFPR, otherwise you will get too much fuel at idle and not enough at boost.

 

yeah i know thanks pillage6

 

why shouldn't efi run on correction factors? Sounds to me that you only know carbs.. so why do you have so much insite on efi?

 

Sorry, Paulo.
The 1985 and earlier Rx-7 is not a "pushbutton" car, buddy.
Nothing wrong with a carb turbo...if you know what the hell you're doing.

Sounds like you need a Honda.

 

wow sterling did I hit a nerve. you guys are so funny doesnt take much to get your panties in a wad. what do you mean by "pushbutton" oh yeah we are not buddys

 

Awwe Paulo. Don't go bein' all that way.
-We could be buddies if you want to.
You just have to stop being such an ******* first.

 

AHHH -Run, member dispute

 

Correction factors are only rough estimates of the amount (more or less) of fuel needed. They are accurate enough for small temperature changes but the error in the correction factors gets increasingly innacurate the further the temp is from the base air temp tune (same for coolant temps. etc...). I've street tuned a few microtechs for some buddies. I am by no means a pro but I know the odds and ends of both carb and EFI.

sorry i wasn't try to hurt your carb sales...

 

Ahh yes- That's what it's really about...the oodles of money I'm makin from selling modified carburetors.
Gueeze, ya found me out, big guy.

 

ohhh... could we return to the original subject guys ?

Sterling ; You seems like a pretty knowledgeable guy.. I read good things about your work on carbs..

Max

 

its the little things that hurt you the most. It kills you so much that you have to start talkin smack thats funny.Dont be mad at me because you like carbs and I like efi. You had nothing worth a crap to add to what we were talking about in this post and nowhere in any post did I say efi is pushbutton and go. I wasnt trying to take your little forum ****** following away from you. EFI is cheap enough now days for everyone the only problem is that they are scared of what they dont know and I think you are too. Now that this post got real off track I guess you will reply with some stupid remark trying to insult me wishing you were witty.

 

well... first off you didnt come back saying anything nice either. you dont make anything better. and he wasn't promoting sales for his carb, hell they arent selling a boost prepped carb yet. after i'm done with the test n tune of it though, they will and it will be beyond competitive in price seeing as they really dont make any damn money off these setups. they are here to help and you just have to understand sarcasm. back to the ? at hand.... think about this, if you go stand alone or whatever efi, who is gonna tune it? carbs can be adjusted pretty easily, but in the own right of everything.... nothing is too hard if you have the tools and willingness to learn. LETS ALL GET ALONG! it's all rx7's atleast!
