Martin's Quarter Mile Runs in TII 1st Gen RX 7

A few 1/4 mile runs in Martin's car at St. Thomas Dragway. The car is a 1st gen RX-7 with an S5 TII swap. Martin and I ported and built the engine with a porting combination I set up to maximize low end torque while still providing gains uptop. The stock turbo makes about 8 PSI and tapers off to around 5 PSI at redline. Currently the car is running the stock ECU but will soon be Megasquirted with an MS2. The best run of the night was a 14.02 with the slowest run at aroun 14.40.

i love to see these small engines eating big ones! right now im into the sbc world with an 88 iroc, but one day i will think in going for a project as a FD3s with a 20b. amazing engines :D have this radom question, is the bolt pattern for the tranny the same on all rotory engines? for ex. am i able to have an 20b with a 6spd from a rx8? thanks

Mazda has not significantly changed the bolt patter since sometime in the early 70s. So almost every rotary bolts to every transmission. However a 20B would destroy the RX-8 6 speed. It is considered a rather weak transmission. Sticking with the FD R-type or FC R-type would be best.

SMOKED that chevy, love that 1st gen. Need some more videos like this, i hate those people who post something from a cellphone.

Martin's car is cool, but it's not like it's hard to beat a G6. I think it didn't run less then 16.2 the entire night.
