Look toward the top of the posts and you will see a thread titled "Sticky: THE 1st GEN RX-7 FAQ PAGE!"

Click on that and it will answer many of the questions you have about upgrades, etc. (except for the turbo cut-off switch).

Also, on the right side at the top of these posts, you'll see a "Search this Forum" link to click on that will help even more.

All forums are set up differently but this will get you started.

cheers for the help guys..yeh my n12 turbo has a shut off swith..the previous owner made it..so ive gota figure out how it all works and design 1 for the rx7 i get cheers for all ur help guys

turbo cutoff switch isn't a bad idea; fuel economy.

That is, if you have a standalone fuel system with different fuel maps for with and without the turbo.
On a carbed car, youd probably be running prety rich without the turbo, and wouldnt see any more mileage gain that keeping out of boost.


I guess its an interesting concept, but without a custom standalone fuel system it just sounds silly.
