Supercharged FC RX-7 5PSI

[420smokaLbC]

How much hp?

[roughneck240z89]

was wondering was this a na or turbo when stock i was told if you put forced induction on a na 13b dont go over 5lb boost housing and apex seals cant handle it also how much power did u gain

[mikemrrymn]

@roughneck240z89 it was N/A before, not sure what max boost w/out changing seals is, but 5 seemed ok for me, most guys end up blowing the motor, maybe thats why, didn't get ALOT more power I mean it was no twin turbo FD but it was a hell of a lot better than N/A, much better throttle response and much less fuel mileage, which should mean it had more power ROFL

[roughneck240z89]

@mikemrrymn lol i hear ya ive been looking into hho genarators for mine how much was the cost of the supercharger my mechanic told me bring him 6 thou and he will guarintee me 300 hp at the wheels with no reilibity probs

[mikemrrymn]

@roughneck240z89 I probably paid 3 to 4 by the time I was done and still had ALOT to put in, I never upgraded fuel pump / injectors, had no fuel management... so 6K is reasonalbe as long as you make sure you get fuel management and make sure its one that changes timing based on boost or its not really gonna keep motor safe, also would be best to have a Knock sensor installed and integrated shouldn't be a prob if you have a turbo already, be careful with HHO generators, not sure if they work!

[roughneck240z89]

@mikemrrymn im willing to bet for the 6 he was gonna drop in a turbo 13b from one of his old cars i have built small hho gens for demos my ex fatherin law is a engineer he built one for a lawn mower i know of one guy that put one on a rx7 and got 5 extra mpg and ive seen one on a ninja im prob jus gonna save up and go woth a 20b noone around here has done that yet

[mikemrrymn]

@roughneck240z89 20b in a FD is my next car...

[rayvdub]

@roughneck240z89 Not true Aaron Cake is safely pushing 16psi on his turbo N/A I'm sure he's using 2mm apex seals as well, it's all about proper tuning.

[mikemrrymn]

got sc from rx7club member, wing was stock duckbill came on some models, ended up selling fc and later the fd, miss my rx7's big time, i will have another thinking 3 rotor single tubo v mount for my next set up, prob in a 95 or import rhd if i can find one

[RxRotaryForLife]

@iLimet of coarse I do!!! I was saying I want the fc and also referring to the third gen that was parked next to it.

[RxRotaryForLife]

I want it! Nice 3rd gen too!

[iLimet]

@RxRotaryForLife you know the fc is the second gen

[tuscani456]

What wing is that you have i'm trying to get it for my convertible fc

[superteddy94]

where'd you get the SC?

[mikemrrymn]

Yea ten times better than hot air from a cone filter sitting inches away from a head unit that reaches extreem temps

[Tj1056]

da fuck you had a stock air intake?

[mikemrrymn]

yea more info on there too in my sig mike_merrryguy

[Jaila05]

did u get the SC from the forum??

[SOMeDoOD1992]

super clean the only problem is that the car is yellow :P

[rockyzee]

Hey, I'm about to pick up this kit. I was wondering if you ever had the time to dyno your car and what kind of power you were making?

[mlgf0ursh0tt]

how much was all that to the engine? just an estimate. and how much harder is it to put a super over a turbocharger i mean which is easier?

[rockyzee]

@mlgf0ursh0tt I'll be experimenting with this kit. But I picked this over a T2 swap because it seems a 6 port turbo is just ridiculous compared to a T2 swap which is very expensive when done properly and even more expensive when done cheaply and it blows up.

[iamxeddiex]

What's the numbers?

[op170]

Why did it sound like the camera was being born when he stepped out of the car lol

[ResidentG33k]

Your neighbors must hate you lol

Looks like city of Corona to me... Corona or Rancho Cucamonga

[mikemrrymn]

@ResidentG33k close over on camp pendleton, well i was at the time lol

[djayangel]

Awesome. Keeping it s4 with those taillights hah? An FC you can certainly Appreciate

[JuanPapaNicolao]

get it back lol 

[JuanPapaNicolao]

dang it 

[JuanPapaNicolao]

you should paint the gauge needles

[mikemrrymn]

@JuanPapaNicolao

interesting thought but I sold it

[JuanPapaNicolao]

fuckin sweet sound 

[thash1127]

that sounds sooooo SICK, i'm lovin those headlight covers, i always thought they looked weird with the carbon fiber hood but not anymore! could you tell me how many inches your supercharger is??

[mikemrrymn]

@thash1127 its a paxton so it doesn't have an inch rating like the camdens its the SN92 head unit though, pushes a shit ton of CFM way more than any camden if I remember, and yea the covers looked sick with the hood, it also looked good with the stock yellow covers on there

[hiideruhiro]

Sweet paint job on the clean FC! (And nice FD you got on the side) Nice to see an N/A converted to supercharger. How is the feel of the supercharger compared to turbo or n/a?

[mikemrrymn]

@hiideruhiro well the supercharger has instant response, never drove a T2 but comparded to the FD it still has less power of course but more instant useable power I could downshift with the SC and chirp the tires easy

[ReaperFC3]

thats a nice FC man im still looking for that supercharger

[dragonflamechs]

how you supercharge it with a kit or just custom

[mikemrrymn]

it was a nelson/paxton kit that is no longer sold, you can find them from time to time on rx7club and ebay

[yootoob04]
