I'm new to this site, and the whole rotary scene, and i was just wondering if anyone knows about this "atkins 7" supercharger" kit, and about how much boost it makes.



I'm probably going to buy an '83 RX-7 with a 12a (i dont know which model) and I'm lookin into all my power options. Thanks.

I've honestly never seen any of the atkins blowers installed, I would consider a T2 swap before I would go the blower route on a 12a.

agreed.

Lot more help available for the T2 swap and most likely cheaper.

By T2 swap you mean swappin' in a TurboII engine? Yeah I thought about that but I'm just tryin to check out all my options. How hard is it to swap in a T2?

It's easy to do. Prices vary and how much you want to do.

Just for anyone else who was interested, I contacted Atkins and they said it makes between 11-14 psi of boost and takes no major modifications to the engine. Not bad. I gotta think about this one....

I wonder how the 1st gen transmission and rearend would hold up though. I would be too tempted to do big smokey burnouts in it lol.
