i need tips on how to add hp to my 1979 rx7 that are reliable

 

Wecome to the forum. I first have to say SEARCH. This has been covered many, many times. If you search for HP adders, you will likely find something. You could also use the FAQ sticky.

 

HEADERS is the fisrt and most important mod, then convert you ignition to Direct Fire Ignition. You can do that cheaply by useing a 2nd gen leading coil. That would be after you convert from points to elec dist!

and search!

 

FAQ and search!

 

Headers first, and then...

 

yes, headers w/ full exhaust. then CARB TIME!!!!! for best all around bang for the buck and a wonderful carb talk to rx7carl or sterling. i have had amazing help and insight from rx7carl myself. i personally am messing with a holley right now that i started tuning and messed up but will give me a great amount of power. it's a world of choices out there. dont **** UP! j/k

 

The RB headers are amazing, they will give you better sound, and power (and to a tech guy, looks.) Try to stay away from ricey coffee-can mufflers, the RX7 should never be a rice rocket. A carb such as a sterling or a weber is very nice, i have the weber 48 side draft and intake, very good upgrade for the cash and looks amazing (sounds pretty tight also). An LSD is always a beautiful thing. Naming your car definatly gives you in the upwards of 20-30 horsepower.
