fuel pump help please

I am currently in the process of converting my sandrail from a vw motor to an 88 13b.(non turbo) I am also leaving it fuel injected. I am trying to figure out if i can get an inline fuel pump that will feed the engine correctly. I am also not sure of the fuel pressure required for the fuel injection. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks for your time!!!!

An inline pump designed for injection will be fine. The only issue with that is slosh in the tank may cause it to suck air. So make sure to set up a sump from which fuel can be drawn.

Fuel pressure is set by the FPR, and it's not adjustable if using the factory parts. Something like 35 PSI static, but you can look it up in the FSM.

The Factory Service Manuals for all years of RX-7 (and many other rotary cars) can be downloaded for free here: http://foxed.ca/foxed/index.php?page=rx7manual . They contain all common service information information and more, and are an essential tool for any sort of service work that needs to be performed on these cars.

Additionally, the Haynes service manual for the 1986 thru 1991 RX-7 (both turbo and NA) can be found at most local auto parts stores or purchased from any good bookstore (ISBN number 1 56392 007 7). It is only about $25 and is a great quick reference for things like this. Not only does it contain most of the information in the FSM condensed into an easy to read format, but it includes full wiring diagrams as well.

These manuals will answer 99% of service related questions for the car and if you intend to do your own repair work, you will need at least one of them. Preferably both, since the FSM is a free download. The Haynes is a good quick reference covering 99% of questions, while the FSMs show complete and detailed procedures.
