Does all JDM 99+ Turbo's have 280hp??

I was wondering does all JDM 99+ RX7 use the same turbo. Are there different between Type RB, R and RZ...coz some have 265hp and 280hp. Thanks

they're the same -

91(92)=255, 95=265, 99=280

In all honesty, to compete with some of the other cars in the class - it is most likely over the 'gentlemans' agreement' of 280

RZ-280ps
RS/R-280ps
RB-265ps (5-speed)
RB-255ps (auto)

Not sure if the turbos are all the same (I'd imagine the auto has the "old" turbos) or if it's done through engine tuning/boost manipulation.

No, they are not the same. The 280hp ones are different while the others are identical to the '93-95 turbos. Do a search to find out how to identify them, it was discussed recently.
