I overheard a friend talking to someone in the store the other day, and this person was telling him that a 1987 N/A RX-7 with intake, throttle body mod, header, presilencer (no cats) and an Apex N1 single could run a high 14. I didn't think that this sounded right, because I thought the car would be a little bit slower than that, but what do you guys think?? Is it possible??

VERY possible

i had a black 1986 N/A that ran a 14.4 with me, 220lbs, my buddy, 160lbs, my tools 50lbs, my spare 25lbs, and 3/4 tank of gas, run a 14.4, i had, Intake, Modded TB, removed A/C, P/S, BACV, working 6 ports, stripped interior, pace setter header, and a 2.5" pipe from the header to the rear of my car, no mufflers or silencers, his high 14 is very possible, maybe 14.7-14.8.

Ill second that, i have a freind that runs 14.8 in an 86base with wired ports, electric fan, intake, and stock header with straight pipe from the stock header to the stock y pipe..... high 14s are VERY easily possible

his car came stock with no PS

Wow, I didn't think that it could be that quick with those little mods...hmmmm...now I have more hope for my car also, I was expecting to hit mid 15s with a Mindtrain header, mindtrain silencer, custom 2.5 cat back pipe, wired 5/6 ports, and the throttle body mod...


Thanks guys!!

US 131 Speedway two summers ago -
15.8@88.3 without NOS system, just got that.
There was a GTUs I think he told me it was '87, with times of 15.1@89mph he had no mods.
we both had three run
I had a MD Racing Fuel Computer Chip in my car at the time as well, but was recommended I take it out when I installed the NOS system.

Gimpdiggity why not just get your 5/6 ports working properly and get some inserts from pineapple racing for like $50. IMO that would be better than just wiring them open because you still get some amount of low end torque.

GTUs was only made in 89&90.....

DC350

a normal stock 87 N/A does 15.5 at 90MPH

i dont know what you guys are talkin about but with more of a horsepower with all those mdos it should be even faster

Find a stock NA one that does 15.5 Turbo maybe

stock 86-88 do the 1/4 in 15.8-16, and if you dont believe that go to the kills section, a guy posted his 1/4 time in a bone stock 87 n/a, he ran a 15.894

Ok so I'm looking at 5 different sheets with 2ng generation stck specs. For a 1987 TURBOII they range from 6.1 to 7.0sec 0-60. Quarter mile times of 14.9@93.0 to 16.0@87.5mph. I could'nt tell which one is right. And no one but a guy running a stock '87 TII in an actual quarter mile would either.
Has ANYONE here ran there cars at a dragstrip? or just flags up poles?
