Hello, Im new
About to go pick up a 1988 FC Turbo. has a T3 turbo on it, boost controller, turbo timer, S-AFC, fuel cut killer, ignition, its street ported, has a custom exhaust manafold, after market radiator, and a electric fan, few extra things, the guy just spent 3000 dollars on a new rotorary engine from a newer year this happened about 5000 miles ago. it has 555cc primary njectors, and 980cc secondary. I want to do a compression test on it, what should it be at. what should I look for? I need a Rx7 :-D

Wow. That sounds like quite the set up you're gettin there. How much he askin for it? Anyhow, I imagine that if the mods were done right (and a compression test will show if that is the case) all elase should be cool. With 5k on the engine I bet it is in tip top shape. Got any pics?

Yeah, it is suppose to be the "fastest" import in WA.. I guess the guy beat a NSX. not too shabby if you ask me. Im not really sure what the compression is suppose to be at. Any ideas?
Here are some pics

Looks like a nice car if its up to par

Its a Garret T3 Hybrid. It lags until about 3500-4000 RPM... then it seems to do pretty good.
Anyone know what the compression should be at on the rotarys?

Is this bad? Im not really sure. The turbine side is HUGE compiared to the compressor size... housing wise.
also when it boosts the boost levels dont bounce around or anything.. it just sticks at about 8 PSI.
Should I get a HKS T51R-SPL??? is this turbo big enough?

hrm... you really have an auto? I just bought a '91 N/A auto. it was in good condition, a great deal, and I needed a car (besides, I've always wanted a 2nd gen). I plan on eventually doing an auto->manual swap, but it'll be a while as I'm 17 and making about $300/month after insurance, and I still have to pay for gas and such (isn't the 18.5 gallon gas tank great?). Oh well, it gives me a car (and a nice one at that) to drive till I can afford to do the swap, and I'll more than likely do the intake/exhaust system before then, not to mention I want to replace the mechanical fan with an electric one if only to free up space in the engine bay, and I need to replace some little things in the interior (in fact I need to go to a junkyard sometime soon). But for right now it's running great. it's got 85k on it, though I need to do some rear suspension work. Oh well. Later!

This is what a divided T4 looks like. The turbine to the left is a 60-1 in an .50 a/r. That's a "T4" turbine.

the exhaust housing looks like that.... but the compressor is small.... it doesnt look like a T3 housing... I have a T25 on my SR20... and it is bigger than the T25.... just doesnt look that big...
Thanks
