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.

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.

td06 more your speed but I have seen non sequential stock twins go faster with the right tunning

It actually depends on the exhaust housing size Dave. A TD-06/25G will have lots of low end grunt, yet still give you the top end power that rotary's carry. A TD-06/16G will allow you to boost 8 psi at IDLE...too small.



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
