Agree with what GSB has said!! A mate whent to a tuner and said I\'ve got 500 to spend...... the bill came to 498!!!

But seriously, do as much as possible yourself you can buy V mount kits which are a simple old out & new in..... you would save about 2 hours labor doing this & at probably £40 an hour that\'s 80, fit & mount the boost controller again labor saving! Fuel pump a blind monkey with 2 fingers could change, induction kit again a little fiddle to get at some of the clips but an easy job to do.



than all that\'s left for pip to do is the rebuild, at which point he can uprate the injectors fit the new turbos, Down pipe & decat then your good to go ;) rebuild would cost anything up to £2500 if your staying fairly stock & depending on what bits need replacing.

\\stock turbos would push you close to the 350 @ fly so uprating isn\'t esential!

Save it for your fuel bill at the rate this country\'s going.  Seriously though i\'d spend about 1K to 1.5K which would probably see you to the 350 mark (fuel pump, ecu, decat, etc), then put the rest away for the next rebuild.

Haha.... Not at Pip\'s it wont.  More like starting at £2500 if your staying fairly stock.

spend 3500 quid on bits, fit what you can then spend the other 1500 on labour for bits you cant do.

what year RX-7 is this? 99 spec?

if not..i`d sell it for say 5/6k and buy a minter for about 8/9k which has ALL the work done already (i.e rebuild/single turbo).

Stick the spare 2/3k in an ISA.

My first ever rebuild was done by pip years back.  Basically a standard twin with blown water seal.  Asked for a rebuild with streetport.  Only additional thing that was replaced was the clutch and he fitted my apexi ecu (which I supplied).  My bill came to £5300, with mapping and the servicing that is needed for the run in period it left me no change from £6000.

Yes there\'s no doubt Pip is one of the best in his field.  It\'s just his price put me off ever having a rebuild done by him again.  Anyway, its quite a few rx7\'s later and im older and wiser.
