How increase the motor power in FC ?

Hello to every FC owner and enthusiasts of RX model.
Maybe this kind of question was asked in the past but I`d like to repeat if it was of course. My FC turbo 91` has 200ps as she was born in Japan. Now I am wondering how to increase the motor power.......changing turbo to larger..... (how about turbo hole)......... or maybe transplanting twin-turbo engine from FD model......... (costs) So what is better........or maybe someone do it in different way............. I will be grateful for any smart answer.
Greetings from Poland -Janusz-

The FD swap is really expensive. Keep what you got and put on a turb0-back exhaust, bigger injectors, upgrade the fuel pump, and you should pep up that motor quite a bit. If you want drastic power increases, you will have to go with a larger turbo, streetport, standalone, etc...

man just a turbo back exhaust and intake did a lot for me! i am going to upgrade the fuel pump to a walbro 255 i would say do the same you are going to need more fuel for more boost just my .02 also you might want to think about getting some kind of an ecu upgrade rtec 1.7 seems to be the best option right now for the money but if you got the loot like that then go with the stand alone!

get a Racing Beat full 3 inch exhaust and a fuel cut defender. That will raise the boost up and give you a noticeable increase in power. You should also upgrade the fuel pump at least.

It all depends on your goals.

People, the guy is from POLAND!
That **** is going to be next to impossible to get over there or stupid expensive to ship over!

I'd get in touch with hIGGI, and he is closer in CZ...
He can offer you options for your car.

Thats becuase PA emissions testing (if its required in your county) for pre '96 vehicles outside of Phili and Pittsburgh is a VISUAL inspection.. the dude is looking for parts.. they don't have to work, the just have to be there.. and it has a cat!!!

ME... on the other hand.,... I aint got ****... and I don't pass .. or fail..... i get a <5K mile/ year exemption sticker!!!!!!

Passing Emissions with an FC is only hard in PA in pittsburg and Philadelphia where they actually do a sniffer test.

Hmmmm

easy...
By the way....... I look in Rx-7 club in CZ well...... similar maniacs like in PL ;-) but they are better united....... and probably there are more Rx.
Well in PL I am in Mazda Club (www.mazdaspeed.pl) but there are only 2 Rx including mine because this car gather all Mazda fans. Of course we have Rx club but with few people with Rx but for me it is too weak....... and some of Rx-7 owners are not associated in internet clubs. From other side Rx in PL is a very very rare car but it cause this special car more unique.
Thx for those above advices and I count on others
