Found this deal online. RX7 BLITZ SUSPOWER IND. KIT

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/pts/2823433037.html

It says it is for a Fc3s. Will it work on an N/a? if not, why?

the OE air box is probably less restrictive and is smog legal

I see..I am not worried about the smog legal part. Would this work on an N/a though? would this increase a good amount of hp? (by good I mean around 5 to 10)

I think j9fd3s means fuel tuning. A turbo ECU won't help with that. It seems a RTek7 or APEXi SAFC are the most popular 'inexpensive' methods of doing so.

did you mean rtek 1.7? i was looking on their website and am really considering the following:

Pineapple Racing 6-port sleeve inserts
rtek 1.7 or 2.0.. I don't know which one would be better for me yet..still doing research on it


I think with those two additions I should utilize more of the power that my car is capable of producing. The only downside here is that my car has 130k miles on the original engine. I don't know if it can handle the extra power.

How well was it maintained? Aaroncake says that well maintained, rotaries are good for 200k. But he's Canadian, that may be kilometers. You could look at it another way; the engine will need to be rebuilt sooner or later. Later if you don't mod, sooner if you do. It has to happen, why not mod and have some fun? My own FC needs Lucas oil stabilizer not to smoke after shifting at high RPM and the oil level actually goes up after a long drive due to fuel getting by the side seals. But I'm going to drive hard and upgrade until she smokes at startup...and doesn't stop. That's when I rebuild.
