Been there and done that before on 93 pump. With the right combination you don't need mega boost to make 500rwhp like most do. Actually with the right porting 500rwhp is walk in the park with 93 octane. That's 90's power level on pump gas. Didn't even need EFI or a REW block to do it either.
When people copy others they never progress pass the level they copied if even if they can get to that level. For the rest they learn form their mistakes and keep crossing that bridge to move on to the next level. The sad part is that some of these people because they can never progress to the next level always doubt the ones who have.

Of course it is possible. With the right turbo, right motor, and good tuning, it is very possible. It has been done as people have said, it CAN be done, just need to do some research. Im sure you could do it on a gt40r turbo kit, wanna buy one, i know one for sale

The same happend to me years ago and it took some time to figure out what in the combination made that happen but it works.
I've preach many times to people on here but they choose to follow the blind. More power to them.
It's all about making the combination very very efficent and also having the proper control with the right equipment and most improtant the 'know' how to do so.

Someone told me Q-16 didn't do anything for him on a rotary application. You think I'm going to go by that and not find out for myself!

I've owned every type of import sportscar and domestic but have always had a huge love for the rotary 93-95 FD RX7's and daydream of building a quick 450-500RWHP daily driver, using no meth inj. or gimmicks.

**IF it's possible, can I achieve my goal of 450RWHP-to-500RWHP on pump running a GT40R turbo kit or maybe going to a GR74 kit?


**Lastly, can anyone post what the TOP three -to- five 3rd gen 13B guys are putting to the ground on 93oct. PUMP gas? I'm talking about the highest known RWHP numbers on actual street driven cars use 93oct and are fairly reliable*

All informative feedback is highly appreciate*
We had one car make 500 RWHP on pump gas alone. Not something I would recommend for daily driving.
450 RWHP on just pump gas is easy and we have done many 500+ RWHP on pump gas and meth. Aux injection is the way to go.

I didn't say 500, I said you're going for 800 on E85.

I've heard you say 500 is nothin on pump gas before. You the man.

check your pm's boss

Small-ish 63-1 Turbo. At least compared to the ones you are asking about.
409 at 14 psi (93 octane)
457 at 18 psi (93 octane)
492 at 20.5 psi (C-16, turbo couldnt boost more at redline)

These are old numbers off an old tune. Should break 500rwhp on regular pump e85 in the near future. Been running for about 4 years now. I abuse it on a regular basis.

There's an old dyno video in my sig, for details on the setup.

There's always a catch of some sort. There's always some sort of "minour detail" that's conveniently left out that has more than a significant effect behind the reason on why it's made that kind of power. That's either the case or it's an attempt by someone doing it once, blowing the car up, and never telling anyone else that it grenaded itself.

It's very difficult to truly achieve that power and especially on a consistent, reliable basis.
It's very easy to fool people into thinking it's done when all you have to do is show a couple of pictures and toss some horsepower figures around on an Internet forum w/o any evidence.

Amen to that brother, it seems like everybody and their moma in the forums makes 500HP+ on 87 octane & are daily drivers. That's why I love the race track , because you can't fake dyno graphs when it comes to the real deal, which reminds me ..... for the past 4 years I haven't seen any of the forums 500HP pump gas Rx7's on any of the Street Classes on the West Coast (I know this because I'm the only one on the staging lanes with a rotary).
Once in a while only Ari and Karl come down and support ( and we all know they're not on pump gas)
So please..... if you have a 500whp pump gas rotary , you and your black exhaust tip should be at the next True street/street class event representing. Also the $1000 cash prize will help pay for some of that 87 octane.

Way too far away for me, but i'm all pump gas and into the 10s. Hopefully mid 10's next year.

Anyone who can build, flow, match a turbo to a rotary and port rather than using a "template" should know that 500+ WHP is obtainable on pump gas. I'll let the numbers speak for themselves in a few months.

The problem down here is there is no "know" how around here.

Would be nice to not be the only rx7 at the college park meets. =)

Like others have said, it is possible, but between 420-450 rwhp seems like a fairly safe level for pump gas. Which is plently of power for the street in an rx7

For comparisons sake, when i raced u in ur viper on the way back from MIR last year, i was only making about 370 rwhp.

Heyy, what's up man! Yes I remember you and your clean red FD. I've always had a love for the body style (it reminds me of a mini Viper haha). But as opposite world as it may seem, one of the main reasons I'm so fond of the car is becuase of its revolutionary rotary motor. I haven't fired on getting one yet but am absorbing it all in and plan to run a fully built one on the street & track very soon.

I thought you were pretty much in your dyno'ed '386RWHP configuration' when you raced me? (not that there's much difference from 370, lol).

You are correct, all that my Viper GTS had at that time was a cat-back exhaust and K & N cone airfilters...everything was untouched/stock. Since then, I've changed a bit (i.e. headers, high-flows metal substrate cats, high ratio RR's, tune, etc, etc...). I have raced two C6 Z06's and had been publicly called out and raced a third (with intake/exhaust/tune)...and I had beat ALL of them in ALL the races...(two stock ones by three cars and the intake/exhaust/tune by one) 60-160MPH. Hell, if you add about three more modded C5 Z06 kills to the tally, my friends and I had joked of getting me personalized plates that read "Z06 KLR" ...ROFL.


I love my GTS to death by it's almost TOO nice (if that makes sense). My particular car being an extremely clean, low-mile exotic with mint orginal paint, etc, I don't want to beat the hell out of it trying to track it & don't want it to depreciate it from high miles. (I MAY drive the thing once a month off season and once a week spring/summer...about a dozen drives the whole year!)...and that's no fun. With an RX7*, I would actually DRIVE it, do track events (both drag and road course), daily drive her (HARD), and wouldn't care of the consquences to the vehicle at 10/10ths* (basically, not stress as much about the car and have A LOT more fun)


BTW, turbodRX7...if its cool PM me your cell (with generally good times to reach you) as there's A LOT of questions (too many to type) I have for you as it now seems I'll be adding a single'd/race ported FD to my stable in the near future.


PS; I thank everyone for their feedback (and PM's) on this "high HP on pump" topic, it seems 'rx7club.com' is a very informative forum & THE authority on RX7's/rotary power (the other RX7 forums were a joke compared to this one)...if you messaged me, bear with me I sometimes don't make to the net daily.


As soon as I get my car/build under way I will certainly share it all with you guys. My objective is ~500RWHP on PUMP, ~650RWHP on C16...in a daily driver, decent enough responce/spool to track it on a larger road course (i.e. summit point). Lastly, gotta be ready by the 08' season*

Which Rx-7 were you? Did you got to Pomona? Only saw Ari and Karl, didn't see any other street class rx-7's. Correct me if i'm wrong

No probl. my man...can u post the link? Briefly looked for it but missed it, however, i did read ur thread about the middle aged guy u busted in his Z06 as he was "out tryin' to pick up chicks," LOL.


PS; If it's ok, can u also PM me your entire set-up, including vehicle information (touring, R1, base?)
