1986 N/a Rx-7 With 1987 Turbo 2 Fuel Pump?
the fuel pump went out in my 1986 rx-7 n/a, so i put the brand new fuel pump out of my 1987 turbo 2 car in the n/a. is this going to cause any problems? will it make it run rich or burn more fuel? also when i corner the car real hard to the left no matter how much fuel i have in the 13 gallon tank the car cuts out until the car levels out. is this the pump? does anyone else have this problem? how do i fix it--jeremie

someone mentioned that no matter what fuel pump you have in there the fuel pressure regulator isn't going to let the car use more fuel. whats this?

That said, if you got an aftermarket regulator or fuel comp, you'ld be fine...

That is completely wrong. The FPR only alters fuel pressure relative to manifold pressure. It cannot compensate for changes in upstream fuel pressure. If you increase fuel pump pressure (and doing this will), you'll increase fuel rail pressure. Simple as that.

Having said that, Kentheth isn't right. The FRP doesn't work on a percent. It keeps the fuel pressure a fixed pressure above the manifold pressure (~37psi higher in our case), so that injector flow is constant.

All the banter about pump differences has clouded a symptom ectonine has described "when i corner the car real hard to the left no matter how much fuel i have in the 13 gallon tank the car cuts out until the car levels out". That sure is a classic symptom of a dirty/clogged fuel pump sock. Maybe we should discuss that before he goes out and get a new pump?

errmmm.. yeah.
Well thats what I meant anyhow. Made sense to me, but maybe I have the physics of the regulator confused, will it always hold the 37psi even if it has a changing pressure feeding it?

There is only a 16.6 gal tank (86-88) or a 18.5 gal tank (89-92).
And the cutting out (as again covered in the FAQ for FC sticky thread- when will you start reading it???) is related to a dirty fuel pump sock. Replacing the pump with the wrong one will only make your fuel usage problems increase, while your power will decrease.

No such thing as a 13.5 gallon tank in a RX-7.

BTW, I really hope you don't let it run out of gas often (as you imply), as this will quickly kill the pump.

two or three times to see what i am getting from top to bottom. one tank driving hard all the way through, one shifting at no more than 2,000 all the way through, and another half and half--jeremie
