RX7 FD3S vs 03 Cobra

damn right. gotta love the rotary, what a beast

1.3 Liter against what...a V8?.....pathetic american POS....RX7s RuLE!!

Good run. And yes that over rev at the very end did sound bad. I actually got scared a bit lol

i love this video... i have a friend with a 04 cobra that i want to video tape him.. i have a single turbo fd with 356whp.. should be a good race

It is possible apparently. It was the only FD with a 13B single that's running those numbers. The dyno's don't lie. Also lack of tq are for 2 rotors, 20B's stock cosmo's often run higher TQ then HP. The other way to gain alot of Tq with a rotor is run E85 vs regular fuel.

when u use anything else than a Power FC the speedometer don't work since it needs feedback from the ECU that only a plug and play will give ,

A turbocharged aplication puts out more load therefore making that rev limit lean out even more dangerous with the nitrous example I gave you earlier.This is why is not good to squeeze on a stock computer with fuel cut rev limit with a non-rpm controled nitrous kit.Even though that is not this guy case, RX7's tend to have issues on high speed runs when everything on the turbo area hasn't been insulated properly since the turbo is right next to the intake manifold,hot air+high load=blow apex seal

Ok but this guy does have a rev limiter and if he hit the rev limiter its going to lose boost whcih doesnt put any load on the motor at all, if you listen when he misshifts it doesnt sound like he had rev that high

You know...... if there was money on the line , I would actually waste 30 minutes of my time to put a camera filming a boost gauge building boost next to a tach hitting the rev limiter on an FD , just to school you on that one , but since I'm not getting paid , I'm not gonna do that.
The bottom line is that the only one of us with a tuner certification that sits on the dyno with rotaries on a daily basis is me. So that's it , I'm not giving you no more tips.

You know.... no one asked u to "explain" this to me you could of just ignored it but im not going to argue with an asshole "Tuner certification". I helped work on rx7s and took apart motors at the Rx7 Store but im not saying i know it all just letting you know that i know a little about rotary motors. But im not going to argue over this so im done to.
