Damn, you must be a deal seeker, no way you could do that with all new parts.. I'm at probably 8K including the price of the car, and it's prob a high 12 car..

Only read the first page.. but I know where this thread is going anyways.
Dan,
Read over the kit page. While I'm with everybody else about the whole 60 percent duty cycle (that number is too low) I think your kit is absolutely beautiful. As others have pointed out, it looks like you guys really did do your homework, and I'm betting that at 4K... you're not making much off of it right now.
Not a complaint about the price, as I'm sure its "worth it", but there just aren't many guys out here that can afford that. Considering more than 60 percent or so of the FC guys are under 25... I know why many things are made for the FC, and when delivered... nobody buys. Never ending cycle.
If I had money to throw around like JimLab or somebody... that thing would be at my doorstep ASAP. But, since I live off 1.4K a month, pay rent, and 180 bucks a month in insurance... that's just not feesable, and an eaton m90 plus some ghetto home brew **** will just have to do
Again, MANY compliments on your kit, it looks very well made, but unfortunately we're all a bunch of poor bastards (heh... hence my screen name).

well based on talking to the guys at atkins i was told 176 to the wheels not the fly , so if ya take the 15 to 20% that it looses from the fly to thr rear and add that back on, your talking to 211 to the fly, plus they said with the bigger injectors and fuel pump, 35 % more . so taking the 211 times the 35% more of what they say. thats close to 74 more hp to the fly by adding the injectors and fuel pump, so that would take you to 285 to the fly, plus what i have done . thats how i came up with 305. now either there blowing smoke up my *** or what, i dont know!!!! like i said ive talked to gary several times and andy, this is what im getting soooooooooooo!!! im just going on what ive been told guys, i came across this forum to help me with the complications we have come up against with the install, soo likei said , what i have said is what i was told . take it for what its worth, my kits being put on as we speak , so i will get i dynoed . you can bet on that ,andwe shall see if there blowing smokeup my ***, lol any inpute will be gladly taken , thanks

Super Chargers
This Supercharger EFI Kit has the capabilities of bolting right onto your 86-91 Non-Turbo Mazda Rx7 13B Engine. This Supercharger EFI Kit will give you approximately 176 horsepower using your stock fuel injectors. If you are looking to get more horsepower in your rotary, you will need to increase the flow capacity of your fuel injectors. Using your stock Mazda Rx7 13B ECU, we estimate you will get 35% more horsepower at the wheels by increasing your injector sizes.
ok, heres how i got 305 to the fly, based on 176 to the fly . taking in mind i added 20%back on from the loss to the rear end, that puts ya back up to about 210 to the fly now, and when u take the 35% more by increasing the injector and fuel pump size, i took the 211 times 35% and got 73.85 mnore hp to the fly, that give ya atotal of about 284 now. plus what i have done to my car before the supercharger, with exhaust , header , mufflers , im looking at about 20 hp there. so thats how i got the 305. if im wrong then i stand corrected , please let me know if im wrong here. thanks rx7fromcal

If this kit can make 260-300 RWHP, I'll be buying one. I'm just waiting for the dyno chart. I talked with Atkins a while back both on the phone and in this thread, and I still have seen no dyno chart.
My 90 Vert has a streetport, manifold porting, K&N Intake with heat shield, RB Race Pipe, RB Cat Replacement Pipe, RB Catback & S-AFC II. If all I need is the S/C kit, injectors, and a fuel pump to make around 280 RWHP, sign me up.
RX7FROMCAL - Get that thing on the dyno! I hope to be impressed!

Another thing that just occurred to me is that Mr. Atkins has been working on rotaries since before most of the posters in this thread were born.
Obviously, the people in this thread complaining about the price are NOT the target market for this supercharger kit.

Because all the numbers for their chargers surely wouldn't have added up to 300, unless they've got a charger that's flowing more cfm?
When I rode in Codeblue's car at Sevenstock, it had a ton of low end. It came in right off idle. That alone made it way more fun that a T-II at low rpm's. It would be a blast in an autocross or as a fun little street car. As the rpm's rose though, you weren't pushed back into the seat any more. It was like you had an initial low end kick and then it just stayed there. It wasn't like a turbo where you start moving and the faster you go, the harder you get pushed into the seat. It felt more like a Mustang GT. Off idle torque but nothing as you get faster. Still fun though.

The v8 feeling can be dealt with using a positive disp. s/c + a large streetported or bridgeported rotary, bwahahaha, I'm planning a lysholm compressor + extend ported 6 port S4 block, mmmm.

Well, the m90 is roughly good for about 300, at that's pushing the m90, this is why i have such a hard time believing the number they give. Oh well, we'll see!
