upgrades ideas

I just bought a 94 rx-7 fd and looking to do some upgrading. I have some in mind but I just want to know what everyone else has done to theirs and how much they spent and what results came from it. Thanks guys.

You don't need to upgrade the turbos for that. You can check the dyno thread to see what power people are making with different setups:

for your HP goal, you'll need a good tune + tunable ECU, 1300 secondary injectors, bigger fuel pump, bigger aftermarket intercooler, intake, downpipe, straight pipe, exaust, ignition... and you're good... like mentioned.. no need to upgrade turbos.. you can even stay sequential

Someone linked the FAQ for you already. It's always at the top of the forum.

Read the basic FAQ questions, and then read the thread under the topic "Advice".
