Question for all the real RX7 experts.
I have a issue and I need to see what you feel is truth.
Ever seen stuck closed secondary main plates" not the removable ones". 100% carbon locked.
How would a car run like this on only the primary intake TB working?
How good do you think car ran with 1 portion of TB working.
Please give me your experiences.
My findings are ****** insane.
I need to see why, so I have a clean unspoiled idea.

I can imagine it happening - yeah, you're choking down the airflow like crazy! I've seen cars with stuck thermowaxes that had the extra throttle plates closed, and they're slow as all get-out!

Levi's car was fast even though the secondary main plates were closed. When he took it apart those bitches wouldn't open. When he cleaned it all out it open a lot smoother and looking clearner too
His car halls *** now, with me in there too
When he shifts gears the car goes a little sideways...he has to straighten it out...my turbo II doesn't even do that.
Anyways...since he fixed it, it is a lot faster

This is what I found.. You can run mid 15s with 1 45 mm TB...and hit 98 MPH.. This is with a stock engine.
I assume the velocity was the key to it being able to turn the times it did..
I can almost remember when they worked last almost 1 year ago... I know this is sad.... but what I learned is.. Do one mod at a time and test that ome mod before you do another. I was ditchin weight like a mad man and was getting faster, but not feeling that magic kick right around 110 mph.
I am really shocked the car was turning 98 MPH with one TB working... I can't imagine what it will run now..
Its not even like my car anymore, it smells different when to stomp it, sounds different and ****** runs too good.

Everything gutted out, except for maybe 150lbs, I just took off the car. The car is lighter now.

hope fully with the TB working correctly now. I am hoping to hit the 14s and maybe break into 13s.
I think the car has the power to do it, if I can drive it that good is another issue.
