Time for some webbers?

Well i havnt gottern my RX-7 yet but i was wondering how it would react to two twin webbers or Duel Twin Webbers so in effect two barrels per rotor. Big hp change or little and how would i go about getting the manifold to go with this?

That would be a ton of carb for a stock port unless you found some super small webers. I want to think people run 50 or 51 webers for a perf port, and 44? for a street port. If you shoved 2 of those to even a perf ported engine, you would be talking about ALOT of carb. Of course any manifold would be custom.

Now, if you look at the RE setup, they have two 2 stage carbs that are linked together. They are much smaller so you can run 2 of them.

I love my rotary engineering dual setup. Basically unless you can track down one of the few sets left it will be a pipe dream.

Still have to install mine ha

I believe that the old Rotary Engineering dual weber setup did not use the big DCOE or IDA race two barrels; they used a pair of the little 32/36 progressive opening secondary Weber carb which was mass produced for a ton of street cars in the '70s.
