RX-7 upgrade

[score1_uk]

Right, I spoke to Dragon Performance, and Rotary Xecret 7 in the states, letting them know of the advice I was gettin here and this is what we came up with:

GREDDY BOV

RC ENGINEERING 1300CC Ported Injectors (Sec.)

Holley / Walboro - In-Tank Fuel Pump Forced Induction 255LPH

APEX POWER FC ENGINE MANAGEMENT

HKS TYPE-1 Turbo Timer

HKS TO4E Kit with Front Mount Intercooler and Hard Pipe Kit

They Guess that with the Blitz EVC on the car all ready, she should have around 450-475BHP at the fly (if dyno\'d correctly).

All that will cost me £3472.52 + labor (so, within my budget). Not a bad power gain if I do say so myself....

ROUGHLY 400 at the wheels with a t04e and a stock motor...? Best take it to the US for the dyno runs to avoid disappointment

I\'d ask for a guarantee with that

I would agree with Rich on this. More like 350-370 at the wheels.

For some reason most of the figures from rolling roads in the US are higher than UK rollers. This is not even car specific, they just seem to read higher.

Oh, ok, well its a good start.  I guess that with these upgrades I could then add a bigger single turbo on its own in say 6 months or so, with a remap and I should be ok??

Also, the motor has been rebuilt with stronger seals, and been ported, so will that make much diff???

[bnaellis]

Has it been ported recently because it wasn\'t when I drove it ?
Why waste your money buying a to4e turbo upgrade it again in 6 months you would be better off buying the right size turbo in the first place. A to4r with .96 a/r would work well. You would be better off with 1600cc injectors and stock primaries for what you want but to each their own I guess.

Yep, the work was done only a few weeks ago, the engine that was in it blew the water seals, so I did a trade for another engine that was done to my spec (ported ready for a single turbo).

If I had the money I would go 4 the bigger turbo, but Im looking at getting the T04e with the intercooler and all pipes needed 4 £1500 second hand (turbo has just been rebuilt).
