the video of the Scoot RX-7 is at www.rotaryextreme.com

 

I was too lazy to look for the URL earlier, but you can see the Scoot dyno run, as well as ALOT of cool videos at http://gallery.rx7club.com/videos/videos.htm .

 

Just going back to the earlier comment from FD_Pilot about there being only 2 RX7's in the world making that kind of power...

I beg to differ :-) The world does not end at your US borders.

 

My car has about 400rwhp. I run mid elevens. Of course, my car is LS1 powered coupled to a 6-speed. The torque curve with the better gearing makes my car way more streetable than most single-turbo 13b. I've seen a guy with about 375rwhp doing 13.1... what a joke. For me it was much cheaper to swap to an ls1. V8's aren't as bad as most people think they are. I will never have to worry about seals and temperature again, not to mention gas money.

 

I've just begun driving my FD with a T-66. I'm only running 10 psi, and it is really fast (I know that means nothing). The guy who owned the car before me did most of the modifications. The engine has a large streetport. He was shooting for 600 rwhp. I don't know at what boost level he was expecting that though. I plan on upping the boost to 15 psi in a couple of weeks and then dynoing the car. I'll be sure to update everyone on the results.

 

Just going back to the earlier comment from FD_Pilot about there being only 2 RX7's in the world making that kind of power...

This is false.
Mine does just over 600rwhp and is for sale. Marcos Acosta built it. I am selling it because I have moved out of the country. Very streetable. Check the single turbo section and look for my name.

 

Just a report from the street about T66 RX-7s and power... I know a guy that built a T66 setup that put down 497 HP at the wheels around here. I am not sure that is the limit with that turbo, but it is at least one data point. I think he is still working on it, and may post higher numbers in the future. But I was impressed with the 497 -- that sounds like one hell of a fun ride to me.

Damn, talk about back from the dead....This thread is over 2 years old lol

Yeah, blame Mr. Gas money saving, 400hp LS1 man

 

the forumla for 600hp is realllllly easy:
Get 300hp and drive it all the time
Get 400hp and drive it sometimes
Get 500hp and drive it once a month
Get 600hp and watch it sit

 

Just for the record a T66 will do 600+RWHP (American HP that is) with some good octane gas on a street port 13B

 

haha, i was waiting for a post like that. . . good call carson. haha

Yogi, after all my wining, and I ended up with a T66. I am starting with a .81 Q trim, we shall see, The cars getting a widebody, to fit 335s on chrome moly axles right now, then the new turbo, we shall see.
Louis, there is one other category, never try it, never drive it. Oh, and be afraid, very afraid(500+rwhp).............

 

I will be driving mine more then once a month.

 

all this fd talk and 600 hp..what about the fc? there is/was a member making 620rwhp on his fc running a t51 kai. and several are running the t66 and making almost 450hp (last time i checked, may be higher now) running a half bridge. yes the fd is nice but the fc may be cheaper to make that much hp.

yeah sorry about the bringing back from the dead thing..i had to post..

 

The FC you're talking about is Soul Assassin. That cars been dismantled in the last year. The cheapest/easiest way to make that kind of HP #'s is to go with a carb'd V8 unless you can do all or nearly all the work yourself. If so, the 20B is another option to consider to keep weight down.

Agree with SPO with what speed do you want to achieve. Other factors contribute such as gearing, wheel/tire, suspension, etc, not just big #'s.

 

i wonder if that dude is still on the forum. He was prolly just another kid talking about how he wants to be on fast and the furious with a 10 second car. I bet he didnt get one.

 

Yeah, so this thread is back, and I guess I'll give an update. I made 410 RWHP at ~16 psi on a fairly conservative tune a few months ago. I'm planning on cranking it up to 20 psi in the next few months and won't be happy unless I get 500 RWHP!

600RWHP? That would be insane! I can't even imagine...

 

I need to get my wheels so I can get my car off jackstands, and crank up my .81Qtrim T66. Carl
BTW, 16psi, come on.....................let's go

 

Yeah, Yeah. I know

j/k impressive. whats your quarter mile times? or did i overlook that somewhere?

 

its traction issues

"breaking loose" = wheel spin on dry conditions...in this case.

 

Actually, I haven't been to the track yet. Hopefully sometime in the next month I'll be going.

 

good luck show up those damn pistons

 

I have around 300rwhp and im running mid 12's (12.4@118)

I think your boy with 375rwhp needs to learn how to drive. FD's with ~400 hp have made 10's

I think you can see some better times with your setup. What tires are you running?
