Just hoping someone here knows anything about RX-7's? I'm looking for Bathurst parts but I'm having a hard time with it.

Merlin, here is a rotary board that you should find your answers .

Owned a couple of rotaries including an RX-7, what were you after ?

Hey, thanks for the link Ozy.

Greens, I was looking for the bathurst edition twin assembly.

Sorry for the slow repsonse mate,

I'm assuming you're talking about the exhaust system. Aus is a little different to the US in that most people get custom exhausts each time. Off the rack complete systems are a littlle harder to come by and I know that is more common in the US.

Flaming Ozzy's site should give you some ideas though (you can look up my old car - grimas !). The link below might help as well:-

Quite a few of the rotary guys in Oz can be a little dodgy as far as how much I would trust them, even though there results and horsepower speaks for itself. If you're thinking of buying off anyone let me know and I can give you my view on them.

cheers.

Oh, no I wasn't talking about the exhaust system. On the Bathurst edition RX7's (only 200 made) they had much larger twin turbos. That's what i'm looking for.

i miss my '87 if i could find another in decent shape i would get it . i have no idea for finding those turbo's the only thing i would say is to maybe look at finding something else unless you just have to have those turbos.

Actually, I don't think the bathurst edition was officially sold in Australia (I know that sounds weird) so not sure if you would get any.

On that link I previously posted you could check Jap Performance or DMRH as they import cars/parts and might be able to locate them. I've had good experience with Jap Performance in the past. Other than that, you might have to go aftermarket. I can't remember who makes the turbo's for the 7's, might be IHI from memory but find that out and locate those guys to see if you could get the turbo's from the source.

Not sure if you want to go this way but a lot of twin turbo guys in Oz switch to a single larger turbo for more outright horsepower (but at a loss of driveability). Personally, I'd prefer to hi-flow the originals and leave it at that.

The stockers simply won't hold up to the boost that I want. If I couldn't find the bathurst turbo's, I was just going to get BNR Stage 3's. Still stay twin, but I'll be putting down around 400 to the wheels.

Greens · 10-31-2005, 10:23 PM

400 RWHP is awesome from the 13B. Especially if you're still running the twins. Must be talking some porting, bigger and better placed intercooler, computer etc as well as turbo work. They are great motors to get some serious horsepower from. We're lucky in Aust as they have been raced/tuned for years and are now respected on the street.

Surely you could get aftermarkets of similar sizing to what you're after to flow the boost you want. Although I understand things get a little complicated under those bonnets and external wastegates etc might give you headaches.

Some Jap tuners could also be of use to you, and many of them keep the twin blowers. RE Ameiya (spelling ?) & Knightsports are both well respected tuners who might stock the turbo's you're after - language may be a problem though.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
