Introducing myself/Questions
Hello! First off wanted to say I'm so happy and excited to finally be part of the rotary family! Second, i pray I'm not eaten alive in the forum i haven't slept since last night so i may post this in the wrong forum xD
Anyway I'm SR or Edward, I'm 21, Born and raised in Seattle WA. Been into cars since i can remember and specifically into rotaries since around the age of 12 (Saw an FC rip a fat 11 down my street and got hooked since)
As for my rotary powered vehicle of choice I've been lucky to nab a 93 Automatic FD Touring (Yes I know automatic but it was the only one available at the time of purchase within 500 miles and not 50k)
The car itself is in really rough shape, as an example the bumper was held on with zip ties which I didn't notice until i got home.
So far what I've managed to replace:
Koyorad Radiator
Rear Hatch Supports
Fluids (Obviously)
Passenger headlight cover (flew off on the freeway coming back home from picking it up)
What i plan to upgrade and what is currently being shipped:
Apexi Power FC ECU (On the list)
Auto Harness for ECU (On the list)
HKS Down pipe eliminates the CAT (On the way)
HKS Silent Hi-Power Cat back (On the way)
Under Tray for engine (On the way)
Door handles (On the list)
Radio Antenna (On the list)
Corbeau RRS Seats (On the list)
750CC Primary Injectors (On the way)
1000CC Secondary Injectors (On the way)
Import Direct Fuel Pump 33 GPH (On the list)
WIX Fuel Filter (On the list)
Bosche 02 Sensor (On the way)
My goal with this car is to make it around 350-400 HP And be somewhat decent to look at and hear from about 10ft away, So my questions are these: Is it possible to make such power with said list (Everything else not on the list is stock). i know the turbos would have to be upgraded as they max out at around 340 (Correct me if I'm wrong) but i still wanted to stay twin turbo so if you all had any recommendations for replacement turbos that can make 400 LMK and going off of that if there is anything you all would recommend i change with something else for ease also LMK!
Again apologies if this is all over the place I'm half asleep and probably gonna crash after this so eh
Anyway thanks for stopping by and letting me entertain you with my thread.

https://www.rx7club.com/nw-rx-7-forum-33/
