Need help moding my rx7 for light to light racing if its no trouble what would work??

biggest bang for buck mods will be racing beat header,presilencer and new catback. you can also get rid of ac,air pump, etc for weight reduction. max with boltons is gonna be like 6-6.5 0-60 prolly high 14 in the 1/4. to get that will take a while and alot more than just boltons. if you want a fast light to light racer get a T2. since its turbo it responds alot better to mods :thumbsup:

Well im rebuilding the engine with better seals then worrying about force induction, dose the 13b hold upto nitros??

it SHOULD hold a 50-75 shot nicely...i was tempted to try it, but never did, i dont wanna blow my engine..ive heard to many horror stories.



i have an 88 GXL also. i have RB headers, 2.5'' piping all the way back, Electric fan to replace the fanclutch, and intake...it runs pretty hard and with juice im sure i can rip a shitload of cars, but im not gonna juice cause i need the engine to last me... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I agree the best thing to do is exhaust. Then after u get the Forced induction......get upgraded turbo parts https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Belive it or not but since I last posted i bought a 91 RX7 turbo II that was hit by a transport truck with the engine and drive shaft still working any pointers on moding that engine in my 88?

Same deal, downpipe, catback, turbo parts.......blowoff valve, intercooler, fuel cut defenser, boost controller

You could also remove things on the engine that cause parasitic drain. Ie the air conditioning and pwoer steering. You may want to keep the power steering though. Its up to you. Any weight reduction is good as well. Also if you are going to be auto-x you may want to look into new springs and shocks.
