I'm just wondering, I was told by someone today that once you get your FC running 100% that if you get an intake done, that it would be down hill from there? Is this true? Or is it only true if you don't manage your car well enough?

why would an intake make your car go south? that statement doesn't really make sense to me.

you don't really need an aftermarket intake on a stock setup anyway.

 

Could be one of two things:

He is infering that if you start modding you are going to **** up an otherwise fickle car and regret having started modding,


or

that you will catch the mod bug and after getting an intake you will feel the need to get an exhaust, then port your intake, then get the engine ported, then go to a stand alone, followed by nitrous or another rebuild to go Turbo.


Either is viable.

Sounds to me like he was warning against the mod bug, lol.

By the time my T2 runs, I'm going to have an $FD in my engine bay. High mileage FD, but still.

Mod bug=serious disease. I'm not joking either.
You will find yourself spending every paycheck on mods. Planning 3 and 4 paychecks ahead on how to spend it.

Get some konis, an aluminum flywheel, and get rid of the precats and keep it like that for a while. That's a lightly modded but very fun rx-7. A little slow, but still fun.

But of course get the car running 100% before you mod the car like they said is the best advice you can get.

TID means Turbo Inlet Duct. Its the part that goes from the airbox/AFM to the turbos compressor inlet.

FWI, thats a new one to me. Not the type of intake, just the initials for it
