It was exactly the opposite with me. I was a RX-7 owner. [1st gen SE, custom turbo] to a DB2 or for the Honda challanged.. a 92 Integra GS-R # 508 of 1500. What motor do you have in that EG? She looks clean. What are your plans for the rex.. ? I'm planning on getting a T2.. 90-91 white. But I'm enjoying my Integra so much right now I've placed that notion on hold for now.
Here is a pic of my DB2. 194hp to the wheel @ 9100 RPMs - rev limit is @ 9500RPMs untuned. Not bad for a B series motor. Hey..good luck with both of your cars and don't sweat these close minded people.. they sometimes make me ashamed of being a rotor head.

Clean Teg!
Im running a D16Z6 with an intercooled GReddy turbo, apexi N1 exhaust, act clutch, energy suspension motor mounts and suspension bushings, had eibach but switched to coilovers, HKS turbo timer, King Dragon italian bucket seats with tubular structure, autometer gauges (air/fuel, oil press and oil temp). Stock internals, but I already got eagle rods, just need the rest to boost the hell out of it.
The 7 will remain stock... there is no way to find parts down here in Argentina, otherwise I would go Turbo II. Anyways, a guy here a few years ago had a 12A with a modified 13B intake mani, running injection. He might sell me the setup.
Another guy got a RB header, I will try to get a copy. Thats about it for the 7

xlr8planet- Yea.. thats the max.. and a little bit over. The AEBS manifold is 85mm inlet so I tried to match it as close as possible. I'm not sure of the exact size.. but this was the that specs was told to me by the shop that sent it out to get bored.
Why the pic of my SE does not show? I posted it 2 times now... Strange!
