Heelloo! CongratZ. The RX7 wasn't a slouch. Are you planning mods for your 350???

Oh yea, planning on making at least 800hp with Twin Turbos but it sucks that you have too spend ALOT of money on these Z's to make a good amount of HP..... Im got soo use to making lots of power and reving up too 11k soo this will be a BIG change....

That's quite a substantial increase in power. Have a good read around the FI forum and have a chat to the peps there for advice.

Welcome to the Z club man, and yeah take bronzee's advice check out the fi forums, making that much horsepower is tough to put to the ground. But it can be done with enough budget.

Congrats on your new ride. Any plans for a LS1 or LS6 transplant?

Question: Is "Rotary Reliablity" still in Business in Chicago?

BTW: Nice #'s on the FD

Yep the APS extreme kit will fit those needs...also I believe the JimWolf 800bb twin turbo kit would work

EDIT: Also dig around the FI section of this forum..there is a people and shops showcasing TT setups/complete with Dyno graph.

Thanks for that info, Im going to look into that, as for the Rotary, A-SPEC dedicates themselves to RX7's and there near to where I live so thats great, and as for reliability, its not as bad as you think, I HATE when people say that these engines are weak and they blow a seal like nothing.... Its all BS, Ive worked on all types of engines and as for the 7 not once have I blown a motor or seal its just regular wear after boosting so much and running those hp numbers. It's those stupid newbs that get a 7 and mod it up and run the s**t out of it with out tuning n such and ofcourse BOOM.... so it people like that, that give the Rotary a bad name......
