how much money should i spend max to get 200 at the wheels?

buy the way im new to the rx-7 scene and i am buying a 86 rx-7 n/a tomarrow for 200-300 dollars from a junk yard that is still running just it smokes real bad but the body is in near perfect condition all except the paint

what do you think the smoke is "the side seals?"

To get 200 HP at the wheels on a N/A you will need a **** load of money, then you will need borrow some more because a **** load won't even be enough.

hahahhahahaha, a super charger? didnt they have an rx7 one, adds like 30% (isnt that right?) hp, sooooo.....like 190? to the flywheel?

hey, ive got a question...I KNOW that a light flywheel doesnt add horsepower, but does it give more horse power to the wheels? that might be a solution

but if you have the money, get the least restrictive full exhaust.....uhhh, cone filter

i know im about to spend about 370$ on a full exhaust, headers and a top speed catback, (its the same as apex N1 only generic) what would that take me up to, to the flywheel? with that, cone filter, and the aux. ports removed?

yeah, 200 at the wheels is alot for a NA. Would require a drastic port job and alot of other stuff that would make the car not very "streetable." They start out with ABOUT 120-130 to the wheels so that is alot of power to make up.

getting it bridge ported would help but then it would shorten the life of your motor, do you plan on ONLY drag racing with it? or driving on the streets every day?

ok how much power would a street port give me or a bridge port i have someone that will do either for 500 dollars i work at a performance shop where we do everything from custom body kits wide body kits and motor swaps and so on
how much power could i get if i invested 2k into just the motor?

steve's dog

also its not that important to have 200hp to the wheels of a 2700 pound car

steve's dog

a lot but it wouldnt last as long...im not smart enough to tell you how much, icemark will be though

fast86rx-7

i forgot im not looking to be very streetable this is strictly a project car/ drag car i live right down the street from a drag strip "l.a.c.r."

steve's dog

i think a street port on a stock motor would take you from 146 to 160-170 to the flywheel, thats what my machanic told me....

Icemark

You'll spend that $2k just on rebuilding the motor

2K into just the motor? Building, porting, installing? Just building and porting? It all verys depending on how much work you can do yourself. A street port with all your basic mods will net about 175 at the wheels with GOOD TUNING.

steve's dog

basic mods being? catback? intake?

marcus219

Too much money for not enough power.....

My opinion...

steve's dog

yeah, the only things i plan on investing in are headers, catback, and a flywheel.
you know what would be better than my engine? a renesis, i would love it. is the only thing the did to add 100hp is move the exhaust port to the side?

Pesimists.

well being a mechanic how much is it going to cost me to do the rebuild my self?

www.atkinsrotary.com and www.racingbeat.com

2 well known places that sell rebuild kits. It all depends on what you re-use. The rebuild kits are not cheap thats for sure.
