Yes, you will need to rejet the carb... if you can find it. You will also need to install an O-pipe to increase the backpressure on the carb.

Also, I hope you repacked the muffler bearings or that header is going to blow out your exhaust.

I use high temp aluminia alloy grease. It's made by NASA and seems to be the only stuff that stands up to rotary exhaust heat.

I only use race-grade El Boe grease. The best rotary engine mechanic in the world, Manuel LaBorre, says he uses it for everything from removing the flywheel nut to polishing parts.

I try to avoid the more popular Lacedaemon grease. Sure, some people prefer this classic grease, but I find it too spartan for use in a refined machine like the RX-7.

Guys guys please, this poor kid is obviously in need of our assistance.

What needs to be done is that he simply needs boost! try two or three bars and you should be set.
