If you really want more than 350RWHP, put a 20B 3 rotor in your car like I did. Besides the additional HP can you say double your TORQUE!!!!!!!!!

 

this might be a good time to start learning about you car man, even if you aren't gonna do the work yourself, its a good idea to know what going on in your car. as you get more and more mods, you are gonna run into the reliability issues if you don't take care of it and pay attention to whats going on.

i think he was probably talkin about flywheel horsepower, since he did say he didn't know that much performance of whatever, but 400 rwhp is a better goal

good luck

 

Do you have RE wheels on your car??? It looks like it... If so they are costing you horsepower!!! Take them off, ship them to me and I will ship you my stock ones... That will help alot!!!



J/K but if they are RE wheels I like them alot..

 

well...since 400 RWHP is IMPOSSIBLE on stock engine/turbos, i'll assume he meant 400 flywheel hp, which equates to about 350 RWHP, and that is possible with some good tuning and all the bolt ons mentioned above.

 

hey asiandru, are those the RE Amemiya rear skirts molded in?? they look nice!



but....THANK GOD you got rid of those wheels!

 

they look like the RE pieces. they are damn nice!

 

Yeah they do look like RE peices but what kind of wing is that??? You look to be a hell of a body man if you did the car yourself..

 

Red RX7:

Your fingers must be tired! Great advice for the newbies BUT
I have to disagree with your advice on the vacuum hose job.

The worm screw clamps are not designed to expand and contract as the engine warms and cools. Result: the hose eventually gets "chewed" and leaks. Also, EVERYONE always overtightens them. Stick with stock on this one.

The zip ties are absolutely worthless except on the ends that have barbs, and there are only a few of these. Use a light coat (less is more when it comes to adhesives) of 3M or Permatex weatherstrip adhesive on the tips, shove the hose on (it also makes the hoses easier to install since it is wet when you put them on) and forget about them. Make sure no adhesive gets into the hose!

Details, details........ OK, time for me to take my medication..
:p

 

They are Knightsport (or copies) Type 3 sideskirts and maybe front nose piece (can't see all of it) and a Type L wing. Rear skirt is probably a RE piece.

*edit* Front nose is Type 3 as well

 

Uh, yeah - and how much does Tito charge for this now? So do you guys use pettit subframes and spindles, or what?

 

If $8K is not a problem for you, please send some my way. I am trying to save up for a single.

 

Awesome guys!!! I'll keep u posted when I get all my mods done. Hopefully I'll reach 400hp by the end of winter. Right now my car is stored b/c of snow, might as well start working and enhancing the engine for next year!!!



Any other suggestions will still be helpful

 

Yes my body kit is from wings west, called knightsport

 

asiandru, are those the RE rear skirts??

 

Did someone say 400HP? No problem, drive on through...did you want fries with that?

Check out www.staffsauto.com since you're in BC. They have some serious HP rx-7s coming out of that shop, and do a lot of racing. Check out their Molson Indy race pics, where a 3 rotor they worked on won 1st!

 

hey asiandru where are u located in van city i love to chekc your ride out man?!?!

 

Check the dates on this thread.....

 

ya iknow that man i just was hoping he might read it you know..i could of told him about two more shops here in BC my teacher was telling me about it

 

With all due respect to Mike's long, informative post, shouldn't this thread be moved to the regular 3rd Gen section? There's not any real tech info in it (other than Mike's post).
