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.

 

Will a full bridge idle at 1300RPM?

Can you accelerate in 5th gear while cruising with a full bridgeport?

 

No. That turbo is WAY too small. Maybe if you used two...

I can make it idle at 800 RPM if you want. At 1000 it will be a lot happier though.

Of course.

 

Hmmm....

Do you know anyone closer to me than canada that can do what you can do with tuning then? hah

 

Any capable tuner.

 

I'm 99.9999999999% sure that at the very least the stock fuel system won't support that kind of power. I think he would have to at least have bigger secondaries and an upgraded pump.

I bet there is other things done too that you don't know about.

 

Im 100% sure that isnt possible with out a bybrid turbo and possibley a port job too. People with bnr stage 2 are getting around 280whp. I upgraded my turbo similar to a bnr stage 2 also, wayyy more power than the stock turbo.

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!

 

another question if you don't mind:

what if were to run itb's on the t2 motor? would i see a great improvement on hp? is worth the shot? or is it waste of time and money?

just thought i'd ask....

 

You can get an IDA lower manifold for about $200, I'm wondering if using that hooked up to your own plenum would add much power.

 

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

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.

 

Or you could get a used one from a part out from when someone blows their car up and get one for $100 like me.

 

I wouldn't buy a part as important as the ECU used but that's just me...

 

alright....that makes alot of sense..but what if later on i decide i want a little more power? could tb's be an option then? considering i have a complete standalone system and mods?

 

people make 600+ on stock manifolds, for now,. its fine.

 

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.
