really depends on what power level you are wanting. id suggest mild/relaible. rtek chipped ecu, 720cc secondary injectors, walboro 255 fuel pump, and you exhaust of choice.

A racing beat exhaust system would be a nice touch on this 10AE.

In comparison to just about anything else I've seen/heard on a rotary, its quiet.

However, I LOVE the sound. There's no obnoxious drone on the freeway, just smooth and refined. Here's an example.


Also to note, I've had mine for about 10 years in Wisconsin and it still looks brand new.
Here's a picture of them when I got bored last year and decided to chrome polish them.

before you go and start adding power, how long has it sat, and if it sat for a long time, prepare to do what I am doing on my barn/garage find. Going through every system on the car: Fuel, cooling, oils.

Does it even make compression at the moment? Coolant pressure test? These are the questions I would want answers to before I wasted a dime on performance for the engine. Because if you do not know the state of the internals, a rebuild might be in your future.

Clean find though!

A Racing Beat Turbo back system with an External wastegate setup is really cool. Nice and quiet with a smooth and deep tone out of boost, and in boost is just as loud as can be with an open dump wastegate.

I have a 10th too, I am thinking about going to a new ECU and injectors. I might sell my current set up. Rtek 2.1, 4x 720cc, PDA, blue tooth dongle from Rtek. PM if interested.
