this is my first time working on a rotary what should i keep in mind when working on it and what kind of power can i get from it realistically working from my garage :P the car is an 87' with the n/a 13b rotary completely stock

 

im in the same boat as you, i think learning to completely maintain it would be the best step. then just research like there is no tomarrow, im also curious as to what can be achieved out of a N/A 13b.
welcome to the forums!

 

Realistically, 200HP while remaining what most people would consider streetable.

But before you go that route, consider how much you will spend to achieve that. You'll probably have the same or more into making a 200HP NA then you would swapping in a TII engine. On the turbo engine, 250HP is trivial on all stock components.

 

I also thought about the TII engine swap but i figured since im pretty new also i could make do with N/A for now until i get some more experience. I also wasnt expecting 200 more like 170ish. but 250 on stock TII components is news to me.

 

you can do basic maintainence like new spark plugs, wires, check the belts, flush all the fluids out depending on how long its been sitting. in my opinion i think doing a turbo 2 swap is the best way to get over 200 hp but theres always the v8 swap ... if you want to go that way.

 

also if your rx7 ever overheats shut the car down immediately and fix the problem. overheating a rotary engine is almost instant death.

 

yea i have herd that and thats the only thing that worries me about these engines..but my temp is good and cooling system so all is good just gotta maintain it. since i just got it is there any major parts i should look at replacing just to be on the safe side??

i would like to do the TII maybe late this year or early next..we will see.

 

if you ask aaron cake he has an entire website based on FC Rx7s. Ill try to find a link to it

 

after just buying itb i would change, s plugs, plug wires, all fluids, all vacumm lines, fuel filter, fuel pump sock and drain the fuel tank, test/inspect/replace as much as you can(solenoids, relays, heater hose, radiator hose, air filter,ect.)

 

where can i find adiagram showing the vaccum lines?

 

all in the plans just gotta get it running good..the next few paychecks will go to this. its an old car things are bound to fail right lol

that would be dope if you could get the link cab91089

A vacuumn diagram isn't really necessary if you are just replacing the lines. Buy a vacuum line kit, then replace the lines one by one.

 

i dont no that i have all of em hooked up some dont even go no where.....

 

Once you know the insides and outs of a your car, the sky's the limit, oh and your pocket.

glad someone found it, i was having trouble remembering what it was lol.

 

well for starters be very careful with the vacuum lines that sh*t is serious...if your going to build it then it all depends on the $$$ you would like to spend. you can make something around 200-250hp non turbo depending on the porting and the type of gas you use and if you go turbo the possibilities are endless lol. if you wna go really cheap go with a carb. if you want serious power and spend the extra money go fuel injection and keep in mind when you build it you may need to buy the ecu micro tech. (my favorite )or any other ecu. other than that just check the oil often (a lot more then you would a piston motor) and do frequent oil changes also...

 

i am am noob to....

 

if you are a noob then the best way to find out info about your rx7 is to search the site with the search botton and read and read and read.

 

and when you thought u didnt find anything on an issue or question your having search again, chances are that someone has already encountered the problem your having...

 

i love this site, but lets face it the sites search engine blows. use google
