more PERFORMANCE plz
 

ok i seriously need to do something about my off the mark acceleration I almost got smoked by a stock 323 astina with a fat exaust system now thats not cool thats border line embaressing what cheap mods can I do to improve my acceleration i need a new exaust system soon as mine has a hole in it (would that be effecting my performance) if I put a 4" straight thru exaust system will that help me ??

Ok i forgot to mention my car knowledge is pretty damn basic so I'll have to get someone ellse to do it for me

First off, I'm going to assume that your car is N/A. Four inch exhaust is about the WORST thing you can do for your car.

Please search. There are lots of articles on how to make an N/A faster.

4" might be too big. i have a 3" and i think i didnt need it that big. 2 1/2 should be ok.
and yes, any FULL exhaust helps. the true duals system seems to be the best out there for an N/A. then help you car breath better (a cold air system or like it), then, if you want, get into the fuel system, tuning the fuel helps A LOT (by tuning i mean mostly leaning it out). SAFC-2 seems to be the best fuel 'tunner' when you can't go standalone. i have it aswell. and if you don't know how to tune it, have it tunned. those should give you some power.

oops almost forgot...FULL TUNE UP!

Sell it and buy a ferrari. Can't? Then stop getting mad if something's faster than you.

Best mod: skill.

Tear shit out!

But yeah, the best thing to do is to practice.

You sure that 323 isn't running a B6PT (?) engine off of a 323 GT / GTX?
Hell, maybe it was inhaling nitrous?

Yeah! B6T represent! I love my 323 GTX! The more popular swap for the Astinas is the BPT out of the 90-94 323 GTX, the Ford Escort GT/1st Gen Protege/Astina is usually what they stick those in.

In either case it makes the Astina a fairly quick car, the B6T runs about 155 at the flywheel and the BPT is good for about 190 flywheel hp in stock form.


To the poster: In any case, just tell yourself it had one of these motors and you'll feel a lot better.

something had to be done to it theres no way a standard 323 could even keep up with just a standard N/A its like 88kw vs 225 btw would a short throw shifter help me as the distance between gears is quite considerable is this standard for an rx-7 gearbox, also how do extractors run on a rotary engine?

lol get an insane clutch...
my budie bought the 4 puck and the best pressure plate they had form racing beat
it made a BIG difference..

A 4-puck isn't the most streetable.

What is SAFC-2?

SUper air flow controller. It can tune air fuel ratios in an RX-7.

Good for mad tuning yo.

get a full 2.5" exhaust along with a damn good header (RB). get a 50 shot wet nitrous setup and rock out.

or.... sell it and get a TII. otherwise you're never going to be fast with that n/a unless you like high 14 second 1/4 mile slips (at best) :D

shit that was beat up.... you seriously need boost tho hahaha

Short of running a tube frame with a fiberglass body, a 13B n/a will never be fast :(

oh well just leave it till next yr when i can afford to drop a twin turb 13b in her found a place that will get me one for $2,500AU

"shit that was beat up.... you seriously need boost tho hahaha" (FB II)

soz dont know how to do quotes but.....huh?
