Superstreet - rotary .... most hp n/a
Has anyone seen the Rotary issue on superstreet, with the rx-8 and 3rd gen rx-7 on the front cover? Well it tells you how to get the most power out of your engine on 2nd and 3rd gen, up to 200hp for the 145hp 88 n/a motor with simple mods. It shows a little chart on the page and a list of the mods but i cant seem to find the issue at stores anymore. If you know what they are can you tell me please 
thanks

Sorry for the 2nd repost my bad

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
There are absolutly no simple mods to get to 200 HP on a non turbo 13B, unless you are talking radical street/ bridge porting or nitrous.

I glanced through the issue at the shop the other day... I didn't read carefully, but I noticed with the TII info they were listing that the "upgrade" paths were vastly oversimplified, and the resulting numbers seemed very high.
I'll have to re-read it carefully tonight, but I don't think they included some of the necessary "reliablity" mods to ensure the cars were safe at these power levels.
Especially coming from a source like Super Street, hopefully everyone who reads this will take the info with a grain of salt and do more research.

Hm. When did "street port" suddenly become a minor mod? I guess I'm just silly, thinking that anything involving completely tearing the engine apart is a "major mod."
What do they mean by "6psi Fuel line"?

That magazine is a fine example of lowest-common-denominator journalism. They know the bulk of their market is young people with stars in their eyes and no patience, so they give them what they want - the its-so-easy horsepower plan. Sure, just streetport it. They don't mention the engine hoist, the garage, the full set of metric tools, the air compressor, the parts cleaner, the long hours of wrenching, the parts cost of a rebuild kit, the dangerous-to-irons die grinder and the art of porting, the careful and patient attention to details in re-assembly,and...

You dont have to use turbo housings. Just change intake and remove everything for the sixth ports. I have seen it work this way. So now you can use those turbo housings for a turbo conversion.

The easiest "mod" would have to be nos, headers, catback, piggy back fuel computer, injectors and a wing. The wing is the thing that makes the most *****'s power...
yanking the motor and porting it is not considered an "easy" mod...even if you can do it in a day
