N/A's- run 87

Turbo's- run 87

Modded turbo's- run 93

w/ out OMP working or OMP removed- 1 oz to every gallon

w OMP working- why premix?

Stop listening to what people tell you.

This is referred to as "premix". Some people do it because they have disabled the stock metering oil system believing it to be inferior. This is hotly debated and has been for many, many years. If your metering oil system is still in place, this is unnecessary. There is a long writeup in the Archives covering premix.

i searched 2 stroke oil and found nothing.
I just performed the same search. On the first page, there were at least 10 topics that fully covered the question.

also was told that running 87 grade gas was the best way to go.
From the factory, all the RX-7s are designed for 87. Modded turbos should run a higher octane, sometimes modded NAs should run a higher octane as well.

"rotary like to run dirty" is wat i was told. can someone help me out plz.
Stop listening to that person.
