What are some cheap but effective mods to make an NA FC faster? ECU, exhaust, headers, what? I want to know because I might be getting a '91 GXL, and I'm on a fairly tight budget, so I'd like to know the most cost-effective mods.

 

Read the archives and search. This comes up time and time again.

 

Full exhaust (will be loud) not expensive though. Home made Cold air intake with a cold air box. Removing stuff, such as air conditioning, power steering, belt driven fan... Those are all pretty cheap. Plus weight reduction never hurt anyone

 

Search "How to make a beefy n/a" or something similar, i believe.

 

The biggest bang for the buck - weight reduction.

The 2nd biggest single bang for the buck - an exhaust header.

3rd - a ram air/cold air intake.

4th - full flow exhaust.

5th - a freestanding computer & loose the AFM.

Stand alone EMS like a haltech or microtech.


Check out th elink in my sig man. We have a cold air intake pakcage deal going on right now.

 

Okay, looks like if I do get a FC it will be an '88 GXL. Will any of your intake kits fit that?

Another thing, what can I do to remove weight, and is it easy?

And finally, what the **** is an AFM?

 

Yeah, from what i understand the AFM is extreamly restrictive on our N/A Rx-7s All that air trying to come thru a little silver box?!?! Get a stand alone unit, maybe even an ITB setup and you'll be in good shape

Expect to spend roughly 12-1300 for a setup like this.

"You'd have a sick N/A afterwards" CHEERS!

 

Yes our intake is a direct bolt on with only MINOR trimming of the radiator bracket. YOu can remove the A/c, power steering, smog stuff(if you have no emmissions laws), some other stuff that I have forgotten already.

The AFM and other accronims sp? can be found in the FAQ thread at the top of this page.
