doesnt want to rev
i was messing around with the car an i figured out that the car does not want to rev past 6k, it sounds like a rev limiter and it will not rev any higher? i think it right where the second turbo kicks in? please help????

They are very close to allentown. They are also fairly expencive and have a long waiting list, but it's worth the call. They are a great shop.
Also, IR Performance in Clifton, NJ is another great shop that's not too far from you. I don't know if they have the space/availibility though.
edit: I just saw that Rich posted in here earlier. You should really take the car to him if he can get you in there. They are great

I'll be damned. I didn't know they were that rare. Want to know exactly how rare your car is? Check this out:

my auto shifts closer to 7-8k. It also shifts pretty hard from 1st to 2nd. I've been meaning to get the fluid flushed. My bet is that it's never been changed in the 14 years of its life. Yours might need the same.

i was looking at the japanese website for rx-7's and guess what the japanese model goes quicker than the other models sold in the states and everywhere else.

either way idle or under load it will only go to 6k. Sometimes when it gets to 6k it acts almost like a rev limiter, kinda bounces, other times it dies stoppes pulling kinda flattens out? i felt the bov and the one isnt blowing any air, none not when reved or anything???
