89+ N/A intake swap write up
Hey all, I finished getting the write up for swapping the 89+ intake onto an 86-88 motor. You can find a link to it on the bottom of the main page.

Hey all, the SE-RX7 club had another dyno day today and I found 10 more hp and 5 lbs of torque, bringing my total rear wheel Hp numbers to 161.6 and 127.4!! That is up from 152Hp and 122.5lbs/ft torque.
My modifications include K&N air filter, TB Mod, 89+ Intake manifolds, 86 motor, 6port sleeves removed, RB Headers, Midpipe, HKS catback, and an electric air pump. Not too shabby.

You have to do it all. The 89+ tach will not fit into the 86-88 cluster. The mounting screws and electrical connections are different, plus the shape of the face it different.

hey,just a idea about the omp rod.i'm doing this swap myself[project's on hold right now],but i was planning to go down to the local nut+bolt place and get myself some untempered steel rod sections..they have'em in all different sizes.then,run a proper size die on the bottom and top so u can thread a nut on,bend it to ur liking,and heat it up and harden it.might be a lot of trouble,but i was worried about weakening the steel in the stock 1,if i bend it around a bunch..[however,i have not tried].all the same,its a idea of a different way to do it.and,thanks,by the way.good write up.i'm glad to know what i need is the 89+ bac,i was still trying to make mine work[really rather not have had to buy another one ]anyhow.thanks.

Do you have a high flow cat cause the pix are showing a stock airpump that you don't necessarily need at this point.
btw, what kind of epump are you using?
