Interested in buying a 2nd generation RX-7, have some questions.
I currently own a 1993 Honda Accord coupe, with a JDM f22a installed, the power output compared to other Accords is by far better. However, I want a late 80's Turbo car, because I like the body style. I am looking at a 88 300zx Turbo rightnow, but Like the 2nd Generation RX-7 bodystyle much better. I don't have the slightest clue about rotary motors, or mazda's in general. My question is, What years/models had turbos? and is it Single or Twin? and what is HP/torque? and stock 1/4 mile times? Just basic specs of the car, I am looking for turbo, NA is boring to me, I have driven several boosted hondas and I love em, but quite frankly i do not want a boosted honda, tired of being labeled as a ricer, i want to step up to the big boys. Any comments?

Im pretty new to RX7's also but I'll try to help you out. The 86-92's all had turbo models available. The 2nd gen used a single turbo set up, with the S4's (86-88 I think?) making 182 and the S5's (89-92?) making 200hp. Not sure on 1/4mile times, everyone says something different but id say maybe mid to high 14's stock.

well the price range will basicly boil down to the condition of the car itself. I have seen them down to $500 (not running) and i just had a friend sell his 90 TII for $9000. (with lots of mods)

My question is, What years/models had turbos?
http://fc3s-pro.com/abb.html
and is it Single or Twin?
FD3S has two.
and what is HP/torque?
FC3S Kouki turbo - 200hp, 200lb/ft (I am not sure on the torque spec)
FD3S - 255hp
and stock 1/4 mile times?
Just basic specs of the car, I am looking for turbo, NA is boring to me, I have driven several boosted hondas and I love em, but quite frankly i do not want a boosted honda, tired of being labeled as a ricer, i want to step up to the big boys. Any comments?

Or you can be like me and plan on spending 10K plus rebuilding one from scratch..... of course access to aircraft quality parts is an option for me as well so that might help defer some of my cost but not much. New Dual N1s, Jspec engines, Machine work, ect all still costs the same

I'm considering buying an FC soon, and could someone list some of the common problems that are on FCs, or what to look for? I don't want to end up with a money pit...
