Engine Core Question..
 

Hey, on RX7store.net they have some street port and race port engine cores..And Im wondering if buying a core and putting it in, Is almost like replacing the engine? :confused:

You ARE replacing the engine!!!!!

A "core" is a term used for a part that is to be rebuilt. You send them your engine -- a "core" -- or you have to pay them a $900 core charge. They use your engine to rebuild it for the next customer.

How much horsepower would I have with the Street Port with aftermarket exhaust and intake???

I personally would not run a street-ported motor on the stock ecu. Also, you will need an intake, downpipe, hi-flow cat, cat-back exhaust, larger intercooler, and an ecu to really take advantage of a streetport.

Is your engine currently blown?

peripheral port that bitch lol.... ya get a new ecu man

Its not blown, Just getting into higher mileage..Im planning on doing those mods anyways but for basic..How much HP with the street port and exhaust and intake?

you wont get an increase in HP, you will get a blown engine... stop slackin and get an ECU

I was looking at their cores also...my engine just blew...what core would be most beneficial for a t-78, dp, high flow cat, exhaust, Pfc upgraded fuel system...etc?
-D

Don't bother getting a new motor or "core" untill your motor blows. You only get about 20-30 rwhp from a mild streetport. Your money would be better spent on mods like an ECU, DP, MP or Hiflow cat, IC, HKS Ignition, etc.

I'm forced to get a new motor and I am getting a streetported motor. It's gonna cost me around $5000 total, including labor.
