why not? look at his mods, full race port, 1600 ssecondarys, single turbo, tuned. Very easily could be true. Ask for a dyno. I wouldn't go bashing him quite yet.

558 crank HP @ 12 psi with a 13b would require more than 100% volumetric efficiency.

Ain't happenin' captain...it doesn't matter big the port is.

He spells worse than me, so maybe its 21psi, not 12. On that turbo its possible, It’s eBay over inflation is allowed, LOL

I'm fairly sure the owner has posted here with pictures recently..

It looks very familiar, as does the writing "style"

All you gotta do is call up Ralph Friend at Ground Zero Motorsports and verify the car since the owner says he bought it from him. Not that 560hp at 12psi is realistic, but a lot of the stuff for the car checks out. Who goes to South America for college?

400 is not 558. come on i mean think about this... im not saying this car is a
scam...but i just found 558hp@12psi a little off the wall thats not to say it could have been
a miss print (21psi as previously stated)...?

yeah it sounds too good to be true. Like I said ask for a Dyno chart. Solved. Call Ralph at Groundzero, you will find out in three minutes, Also I bet they have a Dyno chart on this car if it was just sold and tuned by them. All I am saying is that it does sound too good, but you never know.

I agree with Dubulup.

No way he made that kind of power with T70. If so, we would of heard of it and people on this forum would be buying those instead of GT35/40's or what ever that HKS turbo (51r??).

My favorite quote:
This is a very well taken care of RX-7, i know a lot of people really ride these things to the limits but i didn't. We had 670hp but i chose to take it down
So, he made 670HP but chose to take it down because 500+HP was better HP to take of the car.

Phil, great point. Does seem to be about 100 horseys too much for that set-up. Pump gas I doubt it unless you get sunoco 100. So probably is talked up quite a bit.

Cant you guys read? His motor has balanced rotors which make it so he can rev to 13000 RPMS!!1111!1one!! Thats how he had the mad power, plus he did a 2 gear pull, and shifted pretty fast between gears. Damn i wish i was him. *sarcasm*
