looks like its designed for an FD, it goes from the throttle body to where the FD intercooler is. for an FC (turbo) it should still attach to the throttle body, but the intercooler piping would have to be custom from there. also, theres no need for that many injectors unless you're getting to crazy hp, running bigger secondaries works just as well and doesnt complicate wiring as much.

says 87-97 rx7's, but I'm 99% sure this will not fit an FC. TB's are different

well, people make mistakes..... that is NOT for the fc! the turbo fc throttle body is "upside-down" compared to the fd....so that peice would be going towards the rear of the car if it was put on an fc.

Here's the HKS USA page...
http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=636

Pic is the same, but the part number is different.
HKS (USA) doesn't list a "RZ1US" part number, so you can contact both HKS USA and the guys that own that website to see what is up?
