Anyone know how much power a normally aspirated 12A is sposed to have?

148bhp it says in the mags.

Cheers

[RE:Worx]

105 for series1
115 for series2
125 for series3

Geff

my UK brochure (how the heck do you spell that!!)  says 115 for a series 3 also. I think some online sources have been mixed up by the series 3 GSL-SE that had a 13b 6 port in it, but was US only.

You are quite right Mike,
The car did not change in europe power wise on the series 3 from the series 2.
I think that Don is thinking of the second gen RX7 which in naturaly aspirated form developed 148 bhp.
Kind regards
Carl

[Don Pamponi]

yup, that\'d be it.  Classics magesine got it wrong.

[Don Pamponi]

It cant really be only making 115bhp can it?  XR2i type power?

It seems so quick.

Well I HAVE to buy that turbo now or be shamed by Maxpower novas with tea trays on the back.

Bunch of low powered arse.

[MikeLMR]

yup ... I think an XR2i will give 1st gen a bl00dy good run for its money !

change the exhaust, sort out the carb and ditch all the nasty emmisions and they are just a tad quicker though

[Don Pamponi]

They\'ve both got perfomance big bore exhausts and K&Ns.

What can you do about the carb?

This ones about to get an elford kit with a hybrid turbo, that should hold off the maxpower children.
