I have read of many sources that a series 5 n/a rx7 will run a 15.3 sec quarter mile but in a few places here it seems that they run like 16.5's etc. I was wondering what they tend to actually run on the quarter bog standard and non turbo (series 4 or 5) Thanx.

 

I know the TII was about 15.1 to 15.2 on the standing, so I HIGHLY doubt the N/A was 15.3.

 

i just looked it up 16.5 that's bloody terrible i was sure that they were around 15.4 what would it take to get them down into the high 14's?

 

turbo

 

14s is a doable number (at least from what I have seen), but it will require some modification.. Pretty much your standard mods.

 

No NA runs 15.3 stock - who's smoking da crack!

the people on a few websites i've been on! so without the obvious turbo what would get it diown there? Exhaust, porting? Also how much does getting s5 rotors help?

 

itb's, bridgeport, ems, strip the interior, some other mods should make it a pretty fast car. N/A rotories are amazing when modded.

 

you'd need to do a lot of work to get it to the 15's in general. intake, exhuast, headers, no cat, fuel manage... might put you in the 15s.

N/As are slow thats just the way it is. that's exactly why i converted!

 

I had a mild street port, full exhaust and intake, pulleys and removed some weight in my S5 NA and i could pull a 15.1

 

If I went NA again I'd go with a bridged NA. I think that would be a blast to drive!!!

Stock though. They suck.

Both my 88 NA's ran 17's

 

Really?

Mine is running a consistent 15.3 - 15.8 on stock ports.

 

Hey, now I dont feel so bad about my times at the track. I could never seem to break the 16.8 mark on my 87 NA with nothing but a CAI. I've got an exaust, clutch and flywheel in the works so I'm hoping to break a into the 15's someday soon.

 

Yeah.. My 89 GTU ran low 15's consistantly..

It had a full racingbeat exhaust system, a cold air box with a K&N, an ACT H/D street strip clutch and an SAFC... thats it...

My TII ran 14.8 when i got it... I was not to impressed with it until i rebuild the motor and put a BNR on it!!!!!
