the stock hp of an fd is 255. you could get 400hp, mabie 500 hp out of a stock motor, with a single turbo, and A LOT of other stuff. with stock motor and twins, you should be able to get around 400hp. if you keep the stock ecu, you will only be able to get about 300hp out of it. it depends on how much money you have and what you want to do with the car. more info would help: as in what mods you have now, what you want out of the car, and have you done any reliability mods?

not blowing the engine has less to do with power output and more to do with you treating the car right

hitting 10's on a stock ported motor is possible, but you're looking at an easy $10k in mods to be able to achieve it. there's a guy on the board that uses a stock mazda reman motor and a kkk turbo from srmotorsports that runs 10's. i think his name is erniet or sumthing along those lines. an fd is not a cheap car to upgrade over 350-380rwhp

have you done any reliability mods... those should be first, if you dont want a blown motor. a well tuned aftermarket ecu is the key keeping your motor in good condition. the ecu will allow you to add as many mods as you like, and keep the a/f ratio in a safe range. detnation is the biggest killer of rotary's.

The power figure is not quite that as there was 3 power levels to the FD production life.

92-95 = series-6 = 255hp
96-98 = series-7 = 265hp
99-02 = series-8 = 280hp

I to confirm that the best you should hope for whilst maintaining the twin turbo's is around 400hp. Not exceeding 16psi that is as they pop very quickly over that.

Ya mazda v, i dont think you realize how hard it is to make a 10 sec car. your talking about lots of mods. Also by us saying mods, doesnt mean just for the engine. You have to upgrade couple drivetrain parts, reliability mods, fuel mods, turbo mods, ignition, the list goes on and on. i think 10k is cutting it cheap if you want a good 10sec car. just my opion.
Let us know when you get that 10sec car...

there's plenty of people on the board that are capable of 10's, but don't go to the track. all it takes is 450+rwhp and some good driving. most anyone with a t78 could do it with turbo blue and 20-21psi. goin to the track just doesn't tickle a lot of people's fancy, plus noone wants to put cages in their car to make them legal. there's even the one guy with twins that recently went 10.99. he put down 404whp before he got a ported motor, so he's probably around 430-440whp now

I'd say you'd have to upgrade your muffler size to 4inches (maybe more) to even begin to talk about 10 seconds.

I forgot how big Vin Diesel's muffler was because he had an RX-7 and it would help to know. I think his car was 10 seconds. He comes on here every so often, just wait until he responds. I'm sure he'll tell you how to drive a 10 second car and plus he has all of that sophisticated computer equipment that you saw in the movie. Just make sure you don't granny shift but instead I would double clutch every gear. Definitely invest in a NOS system before you upgrade anything. Maybe a 100 shot at first then 200 when you hit the street races.

Actually I dont think it helped him more than a few hp. The exhaust for a twin setup is more restrictive than the engine so to be honest I dont think having a port job does much of anything for you unless you have a single turbo.

And, twinturboteddy is right man, sure there are a few people that have got into the 10's but most of them arent doing it in street trim and that ones that do (like John, the guy your talking about) goes to the track A LOT and has all the supporting mods like a upgraded diff, ect so he can run 1.4x 60 foot times on slicks.

For the typical person on the board to go to a track with some drag radials and cut the normal decent 1.8 60 foot times they are going to need around 500rwhp. Thats why you dont see many people on here with 10 second slips. Buying the parts is the easy part...making it all work together and knowing how to cut 1.4x 60 foot times is the hard part....especially when the same car is a daily driven street car.

Don't forget the blurry windows mod, when you hit the NOS !
That's at least worth another 1/4 second

Be better off to drop in the LS1. With a few mods on the LS1, you could run 10's and still be streetable.

You should wait until you turn 16 to worry about this stuff. Driving without a license is a pretty hefty fine.



If by chance you are of age, go buy a supra buddy. Taking an english class might help too.

And you're definatly going to need a louder BOV!

And get rid of useless weight like passenger seat, UIM, ABS, power steering, spare tire, body panels.


....I'm a little hard time understanding you what you are trying to type, so please re-read your post-***** before it anyway.

i never said it was easy to do, especially in street trim. figure at least $8k in engine and turbo mods, $800 for kaaz diff, and about $500 for different wheels and some et streets. the guy was just asking if it could be done, and yes, it can. i'll be proving so very soon. my current setup with 336whp has gotten me to a 7.62 in the 1/8th, which would be about an 11.7-11.8. with a t78 running 500ish whp, if that can't knock another .8 off my time, then something is amiss. granted i don't have a stock port motor, but it's been proven to be done before
