Title: The power!
Post by: rx-sx on March 31, 2004, 06:56:36 PM
I\'m in the prosess of getting a FD thats needs a rebuild. Its a \'92 car from japan so does this mean that it is 240bhp? and if so what is the difference that gives the later models the extra 40 bhp??  :confused:
Although I cant see me going mad on mods, but, well, surely about 300bhp wouldnt hurt?? apart from the old shabby worn out wallet!

Most of the difference was from the ECU.

Is the Ecu simply slightly different programming or is it differrent bit?
And would these turbos see 300bhp without to many problems?

Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks for the help I need an RX7 in my life:D

I dont think you will find that much difference in the ECU\'s themselves, just some slightly different ignition figures. ;)

The stock twins will see 300BHP, just ask John Yorke. :D

Nah it\'s all pub talk:D  Stock twins will support 350+ The later ecu is 16bit as against the earlier 8 bit.
There are lots of twins running over 300, if you are re-building yourself pay lots of attention to detail......dont rush it:wave

Thanks, I want to run around 300 brake on standard twins maybe roller bearinged ( if thats a word?) if they need rebuilding as well as the engine.

But my project all most finished today before it started! I finally crashed my s13, its got very drifty now, and beeing half asleep this morning it ended up sat up a curb with a bent bottom arm, a nakered alloy and a dented muffler:(  thought I\'d really killed it, and wouldn\'t be able to afford the RX :(
Thankfully it looks like that it is mainly my pride that has been damaged, (first time I\'ve lost a car on the road in 7 years) I feel like such a d!ck.
But its made it clearer that I want the hundy just for drifting and the RX for the ultimate road car. :D
