running into some fitment problems with the apex rx6 single turbo kit. Don at Marvelspeed says it looks like the wastegate dump won't clear the tranny. I have heard from another source that all I need to do is cut the tab on the DP that would normally bolt to the manual tranny. APEX says that it should be a direct bolt in, as they don't have any documentation, exceptions, or notes listed at all. Anyone have any experience?

 

ok anybody know someone with the apex on their auto?

 

i have yet to see a turbo upgrade on an automatic RX7. How strong are the autos in these cars?

 

rotaryextreme has a t51kai and there are others...how strong are the autos what? tranny, motor? motor's the same, tranny is weak.

 

I know of an Apexi single turbo car that USE to be an auto, Robert...

There are more single turbo autos out there then many people think (not a whole bunch of course, but a few). I know that www.mzmperformance.com in Austin has put the Apexi BB turbo in a few autos, and Chuck www.rotaryextreme.com probably has the meanest auto around hehe.

When I was buying my car, I remember there were two single turbo autos on the market.

Viper Jr www.iluvmyrx7.com has a Haltech wired in parallel with the stock ecu, so is ready for a single anytime he is.

 

Yeah Daniel, rub it in why don't ya? I chose to get the motor "freshened" rather than spring for the 5-speed conversion. I do plan on converting later. Probably with your guys at MZM. As it stands now, my guy is going to have to fab a custom manifold and wastegate. AFTER he gets back from vacation that is. Soon it will be 2 months since I dropped the car off. No end in site. Suddenly I find myself in the "one off" zone. It's a lonely and expensive place to be. I think with what I will end up spending I could have bought another rx-7. I just hope I get to drive it some before it frags the level 10 tranny.
