make sure you flow test the 1600cc ones if you do go with them! They seem to all be a bit off, sometimes by a lot...

If you want to run 12 psi daily:

*cat-back
*downpipe
*intake
*upgraded intercooler
*ecu or Power FC

If you want to run 14 psi daily:

*add 1300cc or 1600cc injectors
*add higher flowing fuel pump

The PowerFC can handle larger injectors.

rp's calculator is way off....at least for me....im pushing 381 at 80 percent...almost a hundred less than they say via that calculator

stock primarys are fine if you are running 14lbs on stock turbos

Jason, 550/1300 at 80% yields 446 flywheel HP, which is about right for 380 RWHP.

Partially inspired by RP's page, I wrote a much more comprehensive one that some of you guys might find useful. This **** isn't rocket science, but it does take some knowledge to understand how it all works together. I have some links and explanatory text on my page that is intended to help you gather that knowledge:

Can someone concur?

My goal is running 12psi daily with those above mods...and also a mild street port/ported wastegate.

thanks!
Edgardo

ps. Plausible to add high flow cat into the mix as well without upgrading the fuel system?

Okay i went to maxcooper's link, and i have a question:

Under "max duty cycle" it says the stock 93-95 RX-7 ECu tops out around 63%

I then entered 550 primaries and 1300 for secondary, keeping the max duty cycly option at the stock ecu's max at 63%.

with that setup its says i should be able to support 343Flywheel HP or 292RWHP

Here is the question:
Does that mean with stock ECU and larger 2ndary injectors, I should be good up to 292RWHP? (BTW i have the supra pump as well)

thanks!

get a pfc or the ems if you're planning on larger injectors.with a standalone you can run as much duty cycle as you want( up to 100%). i hear 80% is a good maximum number.
