So basically, I've been poking around trying to find out the peak torque in a stock 88' GXL, and where in my Rev band it is. For anyone who wants to know, yes, I do want to know where it is for the purpose of drifting. If any of you know good techniques to use on a N/A I'd love to hear those to. Sadly I've been unable to find a place to practice so far because of the prevailance of cops and the density of the city of Vancouver. Also I don't want dents messing up my bodywork any worse than it is. (Currently its repairable.) So that take gravel pits or hard dirt out of the picture.

Cheers

 

From the FAQ: 86-88 NA = 146 HP @ 6500 RPM w/ 138 Ft/lb @ 3500 RPM

An NA rotary is not peaky like many piston engines, so the torque curve is very flat from ~3500 to ~6500 RPM. You can also look in the 2nd gen dyno section for curves.

Also, unless you have replaced the engine in the car, you do not have a 13B-REW. That would be the engine from a 3rd gen RX-7, which never came NA.

 

Which version is it then?

Oh also, does anyone know the largest rim size that will comfortably fit an 88 GXL? I was looking at some 18's with lowpro tires obviously. I'm not sure 18s would be ok though.

 

Anwsers to all your questions can be found on this site, If your willing to spend time searching all the areas.

 

It's just a "13b".

And 17" rims generally look better in my opinion. Some 18s can look good, but a lot of the time they just end up looking out of place.
