hey guys, long time since i've posted/read. hope everyone is doing well. moving along.



does anyone know of a place that really knows their 7's? im thinking of getting a turbo conversion (on my fc5s), or perhaps just rebuid the engine. and also wanna re-do the tranny. gear ratios and such.

thanks in advance.

wuts the diff between 'fc3s' and 'fcs5'?



well i was hoping for a shop that could take care of all my needs. but specifically i want to rebuild the engine. get it street ported.



or turbo convert it.



and less complex things as well. new exhuast. remove a cat (i dun care if its not street legal).



not really too sure, wanted to talk to people first before i spend my hard earned money.

FC3S means 2nd gen rx7. there is no FCS5. what do you have right now ? its alot easier to just a N/A engine. converting to turbo is expensive and time consuming...............

porting basically increases the amount of air that can go in and out of the engine. jr is a racing beat dealer, so he can get you racing beat products. i have used racing beat products on a few of my rx7's they are quality pieces. they are a little pricey but you get what you pay for
