Does anyone know of some options for tuning/porting the B13 block itself for 600hp+++

I've been thinking about taking steps to upgrade my rx7 to Racing Level and so far I've only found Mods that are bolt ons and upgraded parts. I was looking to see if there is any good options for preparing the B13 for all this extra HP going through it...So far I've only found the 3mm Apex Rotor Clearencing option, does anyone have any suggestions?

Here are some things you can do, most of which will make it un-streetable.

1. Aluminum intermediate housings.
2. Peripheral porting - custom intake manifold
3. Bridge Porting - best bang for buck.
4. Racing rotors.
5. Heat treated stationary gears.
6. Dry sump
7. Mechanical metering pump.
8. Ceramic Apex seals
9. Oil and water passage mods.

To mention a few. Some of the above may not be possible on an 13B-REW though.

You will also want to use some extra dowel pins to hold the housings together. It helps keep everything from shifting around.

where is all of this jealousy and animocity coming from.

regardlees if the kid is a joke or not, it was a legitamate question. regardless or not if it is hard earned money or daddy's wallet footing the bill, we should all be happy and content with admiration for the rx7 enthusiast. i live in mississippi, and there are plenty of rich kids sporting their parents' money. get over it, it is ok. if i got upset everytime i saw someone sporting a car that they did not earn, i would have an aneurism by now. instead, i just relax, and look at my fd and how I ACHEIVED the money and ability to modify it. trust me, the satisfaction is much greater and the rewards are too...

BTW, luneytune and rx794 both suggested good things. the best thing to do would be to set a budget, well, you might not have one...so, call rob golden at pineapple racing. when you get him on the phone, he will be more than cordial and informative to your needs.

Yes, thank you for agreeing with me Xplicit. These guys obviously have a little ego problem. I'd also like to say that I am able to pay for my own car and it's parts...I'll wave to you in my Mazdaspeed GT-C as I'm passing your AUTHENTIC veilside c2!

Velcroe Shoes: You Apparently have no life because you spend time on these forums but don't contribute to anything, your un-related comment gained you nothing accept maybe satisfaction that you are better than someone else...The fact that what other people have causes you to be upset and angry - i would read that as a sign that you feel what you have (not necessarily your car) is inadequate, and instead of doing something about it, you lash at out at people...Now that i have lowered myself to your level, atleast you can feel some sort of accomplishment. For the future I would recommend that you use these forums as a place to share knowledge, not vent your frustrations due to your inadequacies
