That'll work. You may be able to find a good used setup here or on rx7club.com. The only negatives I have heard on the Holleys is that some say they don't match up well with the rotary engine. Many more have said that they slosh fuel around badly in the turns, even with center hung floats. In defense of my Weber, I can get parts for it rather easily and cheaply. Jets are like $1 apiece, a rebuild kit about $15. Best of all, with a flathead screwdriver alone I can change my idle, mixture, and all the jets in less than 2 mins!



FYI for aftermarket carb install you will be removing the air pump and the "rats nest" so you might as well get it out of the way now. It makes troubleshooting problems much easier once all the emissions are removed. I would def. recommend a new fuel filter (I didn't see you mentioning that you replaced it) because these cars are old and sometimes the gas tanks are bad about rusting and in turn clogging the filter quickly. I have heard of many supposed problems fixed by that alone. Amazing what $3 can do sometimes!


when you put the holley on the rotary it ends up turned 90 degrees from "stock" so turning one way the car floods, and turning the other it starves.



now you've gotta be turning pretty fast before its a problem....

I heard today that my car was very rare due to the fact that its **** brown. The guy i was talkin to said that mazda only built a handful of RX7s that were dark metallic brown with a brown interior. I think that this guy was just talkin out his *** but i would still like to know if this is true. Am i driving a rare Rx7? I dont think i am but i guess ill find out. Ill get some pics up soon. My camera broke and i havent had the time to go get a new one
