Thanks for the welcome and nice comments guys,

the rx will be in the workshop next week getting larger injectors and a remap plus a oil catch tank too, after which if required a bigger fuel pump?? currently has a Apexi bnr 33, so might be ok to 1.0bar not sure for 1.2bar setting???

The injectors are gonna be 1300's, however the current 850's i may place in the primary position?? what you think is that viable??

Heres a few more pics:

To make the power you are looking for 850cc / 1300cc are a must. I would go 850cc primary 1600 cc secondary really.

Nice car man.Yeah, i think you should go 1600cc secondaries it would be better then 1300cc just in case you want more power later on.You should be good with that fuel pump.

Thanks for the views guys,

the injectors have already arrived so will have to make do for the time being, the uk tuning scene on the rx7's is alittle behind the states / Austrialia the quickest at the mo is the DRAGON performance rx7 running T88 clocking high 10's.

I think for the time being i will use the 850's as primaries and the 1300's for secondaries and see what we get.

Quite cool this forum i noticed you've got like 49000 members???? we've only got 3000 on the uk forum which is www.mazdarotaryclub.com check it out if you get a mo

I'm not a fan of the dragon, but it's your car, if you like it that's all that's important. Other than that I like it!!

Just a quick question will the 850's (injectors) go straight into the place where the 550's were??? or do you have to modify the ports???

The rail has to be modified if you're using the stock rail but nothing on the engine itself needs to be modified.

OK so you can't just take out the 550's and place the 850's there???

I will mail the engineer to get ready for the mods required, thanks for the reply.

No the stock rail needs to be modified somewhat. If you search in the 3rd gen section I'm sure you'll find a thread on how to do it.

Heyup Gurj,
You will find that unless you are running more pressure, going larger on its own will not net a whole lot. This is due to power being made as you remove fuel to a certain point. What pressure are you running now?
