i meant that 1k higher on everyday driving.... before i would be albe to shift at 2.5k now the car would stutter if i did that....

i dont think midpipe kills the TQ all that much, i actaulyl thought it was better, on both the NA and the FD...maybe its because i dont try to launhc my car at 1k rpm

i can see the midpipe having two things to do with torque



1. removal of the cats and a hollow pipe installed....will remove restirctions, so you might lose some backpressure, and therefore some torque



but



2. removal of the cats and a hollow pipe installed....will remove restirctions, so you will be running more psi from the turbine....and that will translate into more torque and horsepower....for na you might lose some torque but gain top end







for NA i would stay with a 2.75 diameter

shorter rear end, smaller outer diameter of tires.

You can drop a v8 into your RX-7 would probably be the best approach to more torque.



Also, if you have a turbo you have plenty of torque. My car made more torque than hp when id ynoed it 192/196 and i hit peak torque at 3500 rpm which lasted all the way till 5k rpm.

torque can be affected by your gearing.... so get a larger ring and pinion ratio



maybe find a rear end from a GTUs which has a 4.30 rear end as opposed to stock 4.10

thanks for that. i didnt like of that.

ok for the everone else, i know that rotarys dont make torque but i wanted to know if somone new something i didnt. that is y i asked. then i get people being jerkoffs.

and i would [COLOR=red]NEVER[B]put a piston engine in an RX, i would kill my self before that.

people were only jerkoffs after you went out on a yelling and cursing spree











whats wrong with piston engines in an rx7 body....or are you one of those "i just got my rx7 last week and think im special cause i have a rotary engine and its god" kinda guys

it's the torque @ the rear wheels that matters, and rx-7's have torque at the rear wheels through gearing, thats why they are still quick with relatively low torque from the engine. high revs + short gear ratios == torque multiplication == fast car. If you want more torque @ the engine, add nitrous, turbo, or supercharger, or more displacement (more rotors, 20b?). If you're only concerned with torque at the rear wheels, make your engine rev higher while still being in the power band, and get shorter gearing (can be done by changing rear end, tire diameter, or transmission).



I prefer the smaller diameter tires, shorter rear end, and rev higher appraoch. Keeps weight down, lowers center of gravity, while improving acceleration. And if you increase the revs enough you don't have to lose much top end speed.

get a 50 shot of nitrous with a timer on it for below 4k.like pengaru said it can also be in the gears but you will have less top end. super chargers are nice for low end tq. another way is to create more back pressure in you exhaust, i have heard of somekinda valve that regulates back pressure for more tq. or go with a 20b not that i dont like v8s in rx7 its just not for me i would rather have a 26b https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
