From article:
"A smaller turbo comes online at 1800 rpm and runs out of breath around 4000 rpm, at which point a larger turbo grabs the baton and runs clear up to RX-7's 7500-rpm redline."

The cutaway view of the 13B is actually a Renesis; note the location of the exhaust ports and the front-facing throttle body.

Not too bad a writeup. It's nice to have a positive report on our cars.

So he got some of the tech wrong, ie. little turbo/big turbo.

The artwork and layout for the story was gorgous!

hey look! rear seats! xD

ive only heard of ONE USDM FD with rear seats, and god knows why in the world youd convert a regular USDM FD into a Spirit R Type B. or atleast, why youd go through the absolute trouble of converting that interior over to be the Type B but leave the car LHD.

It's really not hard. FDnewbie sells them new at $900. Easy as take out bins and side panels, put in seats and new panels. The main reason everyone does it is because the bins can't hold anything useful minus a quart of oil. There's actually quite a few FD's here that have them installed. Just search...

And i can understand why they would just say "smaller turbo\bigger turbo". It would take a lot more writing to explain the same concept.
