too many variables... one mainly being the tune.

safe? 2psi

safe? 13psi

safe? 20psi w/ race fuel

all could blow the **** up tho with bad tuning

well im good with the tuning part, i learned how to tune on a 96 accord w/ 8 psi. im not looking for like 600rwhp but like close to 300 woul dbe fine with me. I have t3/t4 turbo for the 7 and i was thinking like 5 to 6 psi???? on stock internals.... cause i know the stock injectors are pretty good, soooo what do you think i should do???? wait to to build it and run like 15psi, or for right now jsut run like 5 or 6 on stock internals?

haha you're going to have a blast. Document everything.

I recommend you really sit back, search and read the forums. It is not a stupid 96 honda engine by any means.

what are you planning on tuning with? honda engines require a good bit different timing all around and fuel requirements aren't the same either.

plus, you probably were using Crome (at best) which is nothing like any stand alone for the RX7's. then again if your planning to use stock ecu with something like an safc, well... i wish you the best.

go into the 2nd gen subforum and read about a turbo n/a engine, you will find better info there for your proposed setup. In short, you are better off swapping in a turbo engine. And whatever Honda style T3/T4 you have is too small.
