how much boost and redline

ok i just got my first rx-7 10 mins. ago. it is a 87 turbo II and it has a blow off valve and exaust and thats it. but my ? is. how much boost are they supposed to have. cause mine has a boost guage in it and at about 6500-7k it is pushing 10lbs. and what is redline cause i hear about rotarys turning unlimited rpms but i think the guage says 7500 redline. im not sure about the guages im used to a hondas redline on the guage. thanks

No rotary’s cannot turn unlimited RPMs your redline should be 7K

Your exhaust is what is giving you more boost.

Look in to a fuel controller and walbro Fuel Pump and fuel pump rewire

If you get it rebuilt you can also get the motor ported. Look into the different porting and see which one fits your needs.

yeah i really dont wanna port it cause im on a tight budget. but i have been talkin to a local rx7 mechanic and he says i really dont need to rebuild my motor. but he gave me a few things to try. im gonna try his suggestions and then i think im gonna rebuild it my self. i will start ordering parts and a book or video or something and try my luck at it. thanks to everyone
