rwhp junky, i need a quick fix

What's up gentleman. i am a new 3rd gen rx7 owner. this whole thing is new to me, im use to oooooold school camaros chevelles e.t.c you knnnow big torque big cubic inches anyway i have had my car three weeks and i have had the following mods installed: down pipe, cold air intake, front mount intercooler, high flow cat, cat back exhaust, HKS PFC computer, HKS EVC4, new twin turbos with a stage two upgrade, fuel pump, regulator, and all necessary gauges. My question is how much rear wheel horsepower will I gain?? Any info would be greatly appreciated gentleman. In any case, beware of the female in the soon to be wicked7, she got skills. You know what they say, beatiful women and cars go together, only this one can drive.

Hmmm, interesting. I like hot chicks in 3rd gens :p

You have more in the way of mods than I (upgraded turbos), and you can check out my sig to see what kinda power I made. ~390 at the motor, so you're over 400 depending on what boost you're running.

May a suggest a T-78 ?

gentelman, i'm disappointed. i gave you the goods (mod information) and I only got one that rose to the occasion (thanks goodfellafd3s) To all the rest of the rx7 heads, hook a girl up, give up the info that took you time to learn so I can benefit. Follow the motto "each one teach one so no one can beat one" (rx7's that is). Let me hook you up with the mods one more time (plus the extras i just added this week) : down pipe, cold air intake, front mount intercooler, high flow cat, cat back exhaust, HKS PFC computer, HKS EVC4, new twin turbos with a stage two upgrade, fuel pump, regulator, all necessary gauges, y pipe, and hks twin power ignition system. All i'm looking for is a possible quarter mile time and rwhp. Come on, show some love, i'mmm waittting... Thanks

It depends on your reaction time, baby!
You should be in the 12's, but I would like to run you in my FC!
Winner takes all!
OK.... enough of the testosterone!
Yeah.... You should be in the high 11's or low 12's. It all depends on how you drive it!

I agree. How many pounds of boost are you planning to run?

All that on a stock clutch?

Why don't you take some of your cash and go to a dyno... one pull shouldn't be more than $100, and thats the expensive end. Then, if you want, go weigh your car with you in it. The go on over to a HP calculator website, plug your **** into the variables and see how fast your 1/4 time would be...

Unlikely the car can hit 11s with the stock clutch. You put sticky tires on the car and the clutch will start slipping in 4th gear.

7psi=250RWHP
10psi=300RWHP
12psi=330RWHP

Any more boost and you clutch will be extremely unhappy. Best thing to do is to find a local dyno shop and pay the $50 for two or so pulls and find out. Or go to the local strip and find someone that runs 11s (anything faster than what your car runs) and have them drive your car.

Best of luck to you.

Re: rwhp junky, i need a quick fix

Wow, that's amazing. You only had the car for couple of weeks and you already had that much done to it? I am local to you and I am planning to take my car to a dyno shop again sometime next week. Let me know if you want to tag along. Some of my rx-7 friends are going too so don't think of it as a date. =P

Ya the clutch wont take it. I have about half that stuff and some bfgoodrich drag radails and the stock clutch is beging for mercy. Its not so much forth gear as burnout and launch thats is killing it. Sounds nice take it to sacramento raceway and run it let me know when your going I'll meet you up there, not looking for a date I'm already married, but I love anything with wheels. Rotarywxtreme mind if I tag along for your dyno session?

OaklandFD:

Everyone is welcome to go but let me know if you want to put your car on the dyno. The dynoshop will not put your car on the dyno if you do not make an appointment for that particular car. The shop is called www.dynospotracing.com and it's located in Mountain View. They only open from Mon-Fri by appointments only. So give me a time that's best for you so I can arrange it.
