My new Rx7 R1

You should be able to feel the first turbo spool around 2500, then you'll feel the second one around 4500, and it's definitely noticeable. Unless there is a vacuum leak or something.

^Yeah, the transition hits pretty hard, especially if you're running more than the stock 10-8-10 boost pattern.

hmmm? Its hard for me to remember what it really felt like, but i feel like i would have remembered them kick in if there that noticable, also after i threw the premix oil and gas in to cruise it around the hood about 8 or 10 mins after i started it i was down the street and when i came to a stop sighn it puffed a little white smoke then stopped and never did it again, but it smelled more like burning oil

haha awesome thanks!, I only got it into boost on the test drive i took it for i cant really remember how noticable is the transition?, The car is at my house in denver i decided to leave it down there until summer because im up at school in grand junction, so i only really drove it for a bit because it didnt have plates and i didnt bring it into boost at all

i've only met a couple since ive had mine.. such a good group! any plans for mods?

:D i've only met a couple since ive had mine.. such a good group! any plans for mods?

haha yea i dont know any!, but yea i want to change all the fluids, plugs filter and stuff first before i really start driving it, id like to start saving for a v mount setup, and relocate the battery to the bin. Probably some little exterrior things as i go, i deffinently want some new wheels but that wont happen for a bit, id like to get a water injection kit, and then fuel stuff

[chickenwafer]

My advice- come up with a good mod plan and horsepower/performance goals. If you don't, you'll just start throwing parts at the car and in the end you will have spent a crap ton of money for a car that isn't a cohesive build. These cars can snowball out of control real quick, you know FD really sands for Finical Disaster right?

Of course that tongue n check humor, but really, shit adds up with these cars. Do build the quick and reliable you cant half ### it. That being said, I still feel these cars are simpler and less expensive to modify than, for example, a 350z or a full blown Evo build.

[speedjunkie]

Yeah I started just throwing money at mine and it took me 6 years to get anywhere with it LOL.

[4g63<13b]

haha thanks for the advise guys! and trust me i dont half a## anything!

Do you guys know if a v mount setup for the twins will work if i go single turbo at some point?

[speedjunkie]

Depends on IC core size. I mean, it'll work, but efficiency won't be quite the same from one setup to the other. Other than that, all you should need to do is change the piping on the turbo side. It should work otherwise.

I had my VMIC setup for several years before I installed it. I was going to put it on with the twins but someone mentioned that the IC was huge and wouldn't respond as well with the twins, so I decided to wait until I went single turbo.
