NJ new rx7

hey guys i just picked up my first rx7 87 non turbo. i know a good amount about cars but i'm usually a v8 kinda guy, 452 stroker in my 48 desoto built entirely by myself..... but i have been thinking about it and i have some big plans for a rotary. i have a turbo2 engine in my basement just sitting around i traded a guy some 350 parts for ha. i want to go 3 mil apex seals and have the rotors milled to lower the compression and raise the displacement. i want to get a t3t4 maybe and push about 20 something lbs of boost maybe more. i was looking at borla exhaust (being in love with the company from my other cars) but i was just looking for some good advice on what kind of parts to buy. what people have had good luck with any ideas about anything just general advice that wilol help me get this rotary around or above 600 ponies. am i wrong to have this much faith in this motor? i assume this should easily put me around 600 with a all that and a god dyno tuning. i also have 2 5 speed trannies and 1 turbo 1 non turbo ecu. anything i should know about these? any hints? are they actually the same ecu. anything helps i'm doing research as we speak. thanks a lot.

Well for one, 600hp demands a standalone comp.

At that level you will want a turbo block and some s4 turbo rotors (8.5:1). You should also look at either doweling the block or getting the s5 rear iron with the thicker casting.

You have a looooot of research ahead of you before you buy a single part for it.

Good Luck.
