How about this then ...

Here is a streetported 9.7:1 13bt with FD intake n/a, notice the afm, its still passes the sniffer in Japan...It made 255 rwhp, and is daily driven, idles at 750, amazingly still on the stock turbo ecu with an ITC.
I have pics of an fd with the same setup, but power fc, I missed out on the final tuning of that car, but it broke 250hp n/a on its first dyno pull through full exhaust with a cat in place and the expected 275-280 rwhp out of it.. Its becoming a favourite swap for rx7 owners in Japan who dont like thier fuel bill...

I don\'t know why but I like the idea of an N/A FD ... probably because its so unusual ? Plus look at all the space and think of the weight saving !

Hmm, that is pretty interesting right enough. But I always saw the fd as a base leve entry super car. "50hp dont cut the mustard with me.
 But put that into a series 1 fb and it would be fun.
   

so mike how many hours a week do you reckon you surf the net for mazda stuff?

Uhmm.... What is the likely fuel saving? I assume it\'s likely to be more reliable than a twin turbo but what kind of power delivery..more tractable low down? I think I need a test drive.

isnt that the same theory between the EGI and the TII ??
