fd, fc?
 

I'm fairly new to the world of RX-7's....i searched...but no real luck. What is the deal with FD's and FC's with 2nd gen. 7's, or is just with second gens?? Motors? I know i ready the 89-91's have more hp's....If you could just fill me in a bit with as little flames as poss. that'd be great..everybody has to learn sometime.

ayayayay, i don't think your searched very well, but i reember a time not so long ago when i too was puzzled with this, the fb or fb3s, or first gen is the 79-85 rx7, the fc, or fc3s, or second gen is 86-88 (series 4) and 89-91 (series 5) the fd, or fd3s is the newer model rex (rx7, just incase) its years are 93-95 i think. there ya go, least flames possible.


:ar:

thanks man...apprecitate it..will print that out for future reference..maybe i didnt use the right words in the search. thanks again.

It has been covered many times, but...

FC3S Or FC is the Mazda designation for the RX-7 Coupe built between 86 and 91.

FC3C is the for the 'vert for 88-92.

Most people just use FC as a referance to that second generation of Mazda RX-7

The third gen RX-7 is the FD, built between late 91 and just last month.

As far as HP, differences and stuff there are several good sites:

and my personal FC info pages:

thanks again...ill be doing some reading tonight.

Trivia I bet most folks didn't know... :D
The Kouki 13BT engine runs SMALLER primary intake ports (on the center housing) than the Zenki 13BT engine!

It's confirmed in the FSM's, as the Zenki motor runs 10-degrees more opening timing.

bahhahahaa

actualy the very first 1st gens were called SA to begin with. i think they didnt go to the FB name until 80 or 81 not sure, but i do know the early 1st gens were SA
