Get the walboro asap. I bought my car last summer with only 78k miles on the stock engine, and it came with the RB exhaust and FCD on it. I added an intake and 2 days later, boom engine is gone. You will thank yourself. I wouldnt even drive it with the exhaust until you get the walboro and FCD

Good to know.
By the way, I spoke with the guys from RX7.com and they were very VERY strongly against the Walbro. They basically said "you get what you pay for" and that the walbro doesn't retain the pressure it claims to produce and they often see problems rooted to that pump.
FD fuel pump it is.

That's interesting to hear considering damn near everyone is recommending the Walbro.

The RX-7STORE told me the same thing! So I got what they call their RP Competition Fuel pump! So for no probs but it looked like a regular old Denso pump, but to keep from Identifying the pump and getting it cheaper elsewere they took a soldering iron and melted the id# on the top so you couldn't tell what kind it was! Still a great pump, like I said Ive had It for about 1.5 years now!

the walbro is a good pump, anyone who says otherwise just wants more of your money.

I don't think so.
I got the FD fuel pump cheaper than I could find the walbro.

How many LPHs does the FD pump squirt out?

The reason people are saying they blew their engines with the Racing Beat turbo back and a FCD is because the FCD allows the engine to boost spike and get extremely lean at upper RPMs.
Like 8000 RPMs?? Come one guys, this is a turbo rotary.
