my project
well it all started 3 years ago when i bought a white 1994 5spd with 32K miles, completely stock and always garaged. 
i started by keeping up with maintenance and with some reliability mods: vac lines, AST, fluidyne radiator, boost gauge, and bonez downpipe.
since then i added the greddy intake, efini y-pipe, bonez high flow cat, and RB catback.
i converted to full non-seq and added the power fc, boost controller, and tuned @13psi.
most recently i put in an ACT flywheel, bonez street clutch, and b&m shifter
im amazed at how much different these modifications made when done right, it really shows off how well the 3 gen's were designed, and how much further the car can go.
i wanted to share my story because i was very reluctant to get the rx7, as i had been a huge nissan Z enthusiast, ending up with a heavily modified 300Z, and many people told me the rx7 just couldnt be made reliable. i drive the car everyday, get awesome gas mileage, and have never had any problems with the rx7 at all. i have proven many local people wrong, and now some are even rotary owners. i owe a lot of credit to this forum and its members for my success.
i havent had time to get to the track or a dyno lately, does anyone have any idea on what kind of 1/4 mile, 0-60 time, and hp i could expect. (i know each car is different and its all about the driver)
ill try to post pics soon

raziel....i was thinking around 275RWHP for a conservative estimate, especially after going over all the dyno sheets in the 3rd gen forum. i wouldnt think that would be too far off

230? lol
I have about the same mods and on a very shitty tune timing wise I put down 260/230 on a mustang dyno, that's about 290 on a dyno-jet dyno, the primary difference between our cars is I have a Greddy FMIC. Depending on your tune you could be seeing as high as 325, but 275 is probably a safe bet depending on how advanced your timing is. Have you rewired the fuel pump? I got the timing advanced and had to turn boost down because I was running out of fuel and pushing the motor at 13 psi. I plan on going walbro, 4x850s, rewire, and turning the boost back up. The timing map I have produced 380 at 15 psi on a street ported REW on the stock twins.
