Hey guys Im looking for some cheap and quick power mods for my rx7. its a 83 1.1 lol duh with the 5 speed. Im already looking into a exhaust for it. Looking at a header and flow through exhaust. if there is anything i can do to ignition or to the carb or exoust options to consider that would be awsome. thanks in advance

verneuil 10-08-2008 12:01 AM

Here some pics of my car. Its in a little bad shape but it still runs and drives great. Just looking for some power mods for now before working on the interior and exterior.

I've got a Holley carb on a Racing Beat manifold and a Racing Beat header with a full custom exhaust and I love it. It's loud, but it runs well, and gets up and moves when I tell it to.



Search for some used stuff. I got my header for $190 shipped, my manifold for $150 shipped, and my carb for $120 shipped. Pieced the exhaust together from some pre-mandrel-bent pipe from eBay. I've got maybe $600 in mods.

j9fd3s 10-08-2008 12:38 PM

exhaust first, header plus 2.5" back, with no other mods besides tuning will get you in the 115-120rwhp area.



intake+carb work too, there were tons of different systems made for the 12a, so theres a lot of used stuff out there.



stock ignition is good, an msd box is better

verneuil 10-08-2008 01:05 PM

would i need to but two msd boxs. Im looking into exhoust right now looking at a decent priced header then custom exoust from header back.

verneuil 10-08-2008 01:15 PM

Is there anyway to tune the carb for more power??

there is a bunch of ways to do the msd, most of them only put 1 msd on the leading

verneuil 10-08-2008 06:28 PM

i see would it be any use fule to have one on the trailing or just a wast for street applications??

Im also looking into a possible turbo but it might be a little out of my leaque at the moment. but is a possibility. For extertior mods im looking into the Mariah Motorsports body kits which are sweet.

TheRX7Project 10-08-2008 09:53 PM

If you're doing direct fire you only need leading. The leading fires twice and does the job of the trailing.

j9fd3s 10-09-2008 10:41 AM

the trailing ignition only provides about 5% of the power, so upgrading it really doesnt do much.

verneuil 10-09-2008 01:07 PM

sweet ill pick up a msd when im able to afford it then. Thanks

verneuil 10-12-2008 12:28 AM

Got a question. My car backfires most of the time when coming off high revs and also at low revs. Could this mean carb rebuild or is it becouse its missing the smog pump???

TheRX7Project 10-12-2008 08:00 AM

Sounds like you're running rich. Does it ever backfire after you turn it off?

there are some antibackfire vavles on the intake and they use some airpump air.



either way its pretty normal, when its doing it at high rpm, it might be shooting little baby flames out the tailpipe

verneuil 10-12-2008 02:49 PM

sweet flaming tailpipe lol. So theres no way to stop it then. i thought maybe it was the carb or that it just needs new cap rotor plugs and wires.

verneuil 10-16-2008 08:53 AM

well just put a msd 6al in and new ngk plugs it runs so much smoother. dosnt backfire as much and also dostn sputter anymore

TheRX7Project 10-21-2008 06:22 AM

Yeah I need to do that this winter. I can't get mine to idle below 1200. I think it's because it loads up with fuel.

verneuil 10-21-2008 01:15 PM

mine wont idle below 2000 lol

verneuil 10-21-2008 05:30 PM
