just got my hands on a 83' rx7, with only 90k miles on it with the wide body kit from the dealer on it

the motor is mint ! 12A engine non-turbo
springs and shocks brakes and rotors all new put in

i want to clean up the driving , i want to make it faster ... whats the first things i should mess with on the motor ?

i want to also get a short shifter

exhaust (how big can i go on piping for the exhaust system ?)

this is my first rotary engine, so im not to familiar on how would i get this baby going FAST !

 

get headers and complete exhaust.

 

if its the carborated one like mine u should get a better carb for it n air filter maybe some better spark plug wires n plugs also

 

Ive just bought one too i havent even recieved it yet and ive prolly logged over 20 hrs online looking for same stuff jeggs has some stuff weber makes carbs holley makes carbs i havent been able to find much for exhaust but in maryland its historic so i dont have to go threw emisions soim going to delete cats and go with a turbo muffler i hear that it helps alot cause the 85's have a really restrictive cat

 

Go to the first gen section and look up a user called "Sterling" He can rebuild your carburetor to flow as much as a 500~600 CFM Holley.

This allows you to keep your stock manifold as the RB Holley manifolds are getting hard to find. It also allows you to keep the oil injection system.


Start with that carb and a Racing Beat exhaust. (Headers, silencer, and mufflers) That should get you plenty of ponies along with eliminating some weight... Stock exhaust manifold and cats weigh a lot.
