Question Thinking of building fat nikki

Might have a source for a Nikki. Are all RX7 carbs usable on a 85 12A. Carb needs a complete rebuild, what kind of budget I'm I looking at to build this carb.

Will fat nikki still work with choke system. Planning to just bolt on to my stock set-up at this point. Budgeting for RB exhaust in the near future.

All the RX7 carbs will work on your car.

Won't cost much more than $50 for everything you'll need. Jets, drill bits, gasket paper and a die grinder of sorts.

If you are boosting on it no choke.

You can remove the choke and just connect the choke cable to the fast idle linkage alone. That
way in cold weather you can just up the idle until it warms up. Works well for me in the winter
here in NC (somtimes freezing, most times 40-50F).

Works for me in PA, I've started mine without the choke plate many times below 20*

Air bleed mods are a must.
