Hello and Newb questions
Wanted to say hello and ask a couple questions (I tried searching but didn't find). I'm in the process of selling (and parting out) my 2006 Evolution 9 and getting a 94 RX-7. I'm quite excited to join the "team". Before the Evo I had an 04 STi fairly modded. Anyhow, a couple questions...
1. To move to a FMIC (Apexi, HKS, GReddy, etc..), do you have to do any cutting, bending, altering of the bumper or other parts to make it fit? Is it a simple bolt on with no permanent mods done to the car? Same question with a V-mount.
2. What kind of WHP will you see with a cat-back, DP, intake, bigger stock location IC or FMIC, bigger radiator (Koyo, etc.), bigger injectors/fuel pump, boost controller and fuel computer (SAFC)? Keeping stock turbos.
Thanks!

1. Depends on the FMIC. Permanent changes would typically be required for an FMIC or v-mount.
2. All bolt-ons with upgraded fuel system on stock port motor is typically max of 340-350 rwhp. You need a REAL standalone ecu to do this, like the Apexi PFC. The S-AFC or E-manage will not work on an FD.
Please read the FAQ thread and use the search function BEFORE creating threads asking general questions.

Thanks for the answers. I did try and read and search. The section on FMIC in the FAQ section takes me to some search site.
As far as the ECU. It's not possible to use a piggyback? There is a whole section on it in the forum.
