I am new to the rx7 group. I have recently sold my Honda Accord and looking for some performance. I am thinking about buying a 3rd gen rx7. About how many miles should I look for, engine specs, and so on?
Also I am interested in the HKS T-51 upgrade. I need some good racing because I never got it with my Honda. Any help would be great. B) |
A honda can't go fast? wow who wold have thought LOL
Seriously buying an FD is like opening a can of worms. My advise would be to cheak all the topics in this section, and the single turbo section. That should answer most of your questions |
Read for the next few weeks to make sure that you are serious about devoting some time to the car you buy. Because these cars require alot of upkeep. I would suggest that you don't start planning single turbo upgrades before you have even bought the car. That is typical uneducated comment. Not a flame you said that you were new. So listen to this advice. Get the car. Do the reliability mods like..Downpipe/Vacum hose replacement/Radiator/Alluminum ast/Etc. Keep reading you will learn. Then just take it one day at a time. Start at the bottom and learn and mod as you go. There is no rush. You have your whole life to get a single turbo.
I suggest also you book mark these sites and get reading. http://www.rx7turboturbo.com/robrobinette/ http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/ Also you can go here to download workshop manuals if you want to get started reading now.... http://www.iluvmyrx7.com/ Good luck and keep reading!! |
Wow, you want to go from a Honda Accord to a T-51?... :bigthumg:
|
a t51 r isn't streetable. Turbo lag will be ridiculous. I'd only use it if I was building a pure race car.

A Friend of mine had a TD-06/25G on a stock motor FD3S...putting out close to 365+ rwhp...said that the car felt as if it had a supercharger it responded SO quickly...STOCK MOTOR. |
Hope you guys are around when I decide to go single. Will need help with proper sizing. I dislike jet lag, I think I would HATE turbo lag. Tom
