Hello,



I have replaced almost everything under the hood now...re-jetted nikki with about 500 miles on it, 2 new coils, new radiator and all 3 hoses, new water pump...ehh...probably missing something there.

I'm about to put on a new alternator...anyone know where to get something with more power than 55 amps...and also where to get replacement wiring to connect to it?

I would like something over 100 amps if possible...gonna install a high power stereo in a bit.



My big problem right now is I'm only getting about 11 mpg...anyone know how to adjust the carb to get better mileage? I can't afford to drive more than a few days the week right now....used to get 16-18 before I got this new engine.



any help will be appreciated.



thanks,

i was gonna say sunk floats, but it could be the re jetting too.

the fd alternator is 100amps and its almost a bolt in (you have to swap pullies)

I thought you had to change the alternator harness to make it work????Does it bolt straight on???I might buy one.I need my sterio.

you do have to change the harness. they have a little adaptor thing for 89-91, so if you get that it makes it super easy to do. http://www.brfoundation.com/RX-7/alternator2.htm

That looks cool but damn theres lots of empty spotswhen you're swap that alternator on to a first gen.There is only the one harness and the B+ wire to hook up instead of the multiple plugs that one has.

 

that one has the same 2 wires as the first gen. b+ and the gauge output, the connector is different thats all
