Nodes White 87 Turbo II: A documentary fantastique!!
1987 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II
Exterior Color: White (WY)
Interior Color: Blue
126,000 miles on original motor and original pretty much everything
My goal for my car is to have a fun, reliable daily driver that I can enjoy on the streets, highway, mountains and take racing occassionally. I want to get to about 300rwhp and still have it tame and streetable.
I've had her for 6 months and have fixed a very nasty turbo leak along w/ removing the ABS and repalcing some vacuum lines w/ silicone and doing my brakes.
So far I'm enjoying the 6.5psi max and probably about 190hp at the flywheel. It's not fast, but its enjoyable since this is the first and only single turbo car I've driven. I have driven 4 or 5 Sequential twin turbo FD RX-7s and they are a blast. I love the FC and always will. After seeing a friend in calis white s4 I fell in love with the white S4s and feel that they are the best looking of the S4 cars w/ the black rubstrips. I personally have a thing for white cars and the white/black just does it for me. I like the black s4 tails also. The stock wheels are 24lbs though and grossly obese and if I had the money they would be in the trash now, but wheels are expensive and I'm very broke. So for now I'm perfectly content w/ my 190hp.
Modifications: RB Downpipe w/ custom connecting pipe to mate to stock main cat, Porterfield R4-S Brake Pads, Autovation Aluminum Pedals, Defi Boost gauge column mounted, EGR Blocked Off, Black Silcone Vacuum Lines
Uninstalled Modifications (sitting in my closet): RB Presilencer, HKS F-Con, FD Fuel Pump (20% more flow), All Block Off Plates
Future Modifications (wish list): TID w/ K&N, R-Tek 2.0, 720cc Injectors, Sticky tires and superlight wheeles, Lightweight flywheel and clutch, SS Brake and Clutch lines, Front lip spoiler, Alpine Headunit, Minor Weight reduction
Even Later Modifications: 3" RB DP and Presilencer w/ custom 3" Single sided catback, Hybrid T04 S5 Turbo, FMIC and Koyo Radiatior or V-Mount, Full Suspension, Sport Spoiler painted body color
Dream mods: Streetported High compession 20b 3 Rotor Naturally Aspirated with about 300hp, Recaro Seats

Put in a Autronic SM4 or SM2 ECU & 500R CDI system along with bosch 044 intank fuel pump 4 X 1000cc injectors, SX fuel presure regulator. Do a full 3" RB exhaust system on a high flowed std turbocharger running 1 bar of boost and that bad boy will do everything you dream of and be like a daily driver and extremely bullit proof better than stok drivability package. Expect an honest 350 to 380BHP @ the engine what ever that works out to at the wheels.... OR if you want a bit more get a TO4 with 66mm comp wheel in it and an external gate along with header and and up that rating to about a true 450bhp @ the engine if you want a bit more fun, again totaly livable every day all day OR finaly add water injection kit to it and run 1.4bar for about 550BHP @ the motor again TOTALY reliable and fun daily driver that will be dependable.
All of the above has been done on stock std motors with allot of miles on them, no motor mods necessary for those upgrades and fully reliable packages too.
Forget the NA crap boxes, they are shitfull options for street cars for many reasons.
