My buddy has an '87 T2 with an s5 motor, full turbo-back exhaust, HKS intake, Greddy boost controller, Apex'i SAF-C 2, and a Koyo Radiator, Koni front struts, KYB AGX rear shocks and he has 329hp at the wheels. Dyno proven.
Other than those parts he's completely stock (which is why I included the suspension).
As they said, 300hp is no goal for a turbo rx7.

I can make it idle at 800 RPM if you want. At 1000 it will be a lot happier though.
Can you accelerate in 5th gear while cruising with a full bridgeport?

It sounds like his only engine mods are a turbo back exhaust, adds good power. Racing beat claims 60hp increase, but that is still not enough to be at 329whp!

The intake manifold is not holding you back.
The best mod that you can make, which will set the stage for future upgrades, is a full standalone EMS system. Properly tuned, it will provide a good power boost over the stock ECU as well as some fuel savings and reliability. But it's a big investment at $1500+ and not generally a good idea if you intend to keep the car close to stock.

No, it's not a good mod for the money.

i vote get a T2 motor, rebuild and street port. then full exhaust and atleast a hybrid turbo along with a front mount Intercooler. upgradee injectors and pump. get ecu (piggyback if your cheap, but you NEED something to control the fuel). you will be a happy camper with that setup.
