Yes, but everything availiable is very expensive.

Why do you want fuel injection? Why not go with an aftermarket carb?

From what I have read, alot of the FI Rx7 people switch to a carb when they want performance. You should look into Weber, or the other few available carbs if you're looking for added fuel flow.

If you're only looking for an FI car.....it would probably be cheaper to find and buy a 84-85 GSL-SE, which is already FI from the factory.

Get a GSL-SE intermediate housing or 'plate' and use the carb as an air valve. LOL! Hmm, maybe if you're crazy enough, it may actually work.

Yes, but he was asking about FI. He'd need to install a TPS on his air valve somewhere, or get one off an FI car along with the rest of the manifolding and just slot the holes or something.

For the intake setup couldn't you get the lower manifold from Racingbeat for a 12A and use the stock upper manifold off a GSL-SE, and all associated F.I. components.

Yes! The RB Dellorto lower manifold would be very good to use here. Maybe you wouldn't even need the GSL-SE intermediate plate. You could install the the injectors on the lower manifold; that way, you could keep using the tall ports of a 12A instead of the smallish ones of the GSL-SE. That's what I'd do if I was doing this type of project. Good call!
