Apparently there was a series 7 and 8 ( 8 only in Japan )

# Series 6 (19921995) was exported throughout the world and had the highest sales. In Japan, Mazda sold the RX-7 through its Efini brand as the Efini RX-7. Only the 19931995 model years were sold in the U.S. and Canada. Series 6 came with 255 hp (190 kW) and 217ftlbf.
# Series 7 (19961998) included minor changes to the car. Updates included a simplified vacuum routing manifold and a 16-bit ECU allowing for increased boost which netted an extra 10 hp (7 kW). In Japan, the Series 7 RX-7 was marketed under the Mazda brand name. The Series 7 was also sold in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Series 7 RX-7s were produced only in right-hand-drive configuration.

Umm for the moment, new exhaust mani (E2), dump/front pipe (has std dump and 2.5" front pipe)
FMIC and piping
Rear Mechanical LSD (-aws)
Might go twin pots
Fine tune AF/Timing in the std ECU on a dyno
New drivers seat (if i can find one i like)

Im not looking at spending 5k on a new motor
Just get it upto and back into some sort of competitive condition (Track/Hill climb/motorkarna/karnacross)

Attempt to give a few EVO's a run for there money :roll:

Whats it off ? any cracks ? (current one has cracks :cry: ) $$

 

[Nick_CD9A]

Evo 1 , No crack's or anything , come's with heatshield. Only want like 50$ for it. I can deliver if you like too?

Nick

 

[WRCVR4]

Is it the same as a E2 mani ? ie turbo hole a b16g size ? (VR4 is smaller)

 

[Nick_CD9A]

From my memory I think they are , I may have a look and see if there's any info on it. It could be different because Evo 1's don't have the Big 16G.

Nick

 

[brisvr4]

It is the same size regardless as to whether it is a small 16g or a big 16g.
They both use the same exhaust housing which means the manifolds are the same.

 

[WRCVR4]

Ok, ill take Nick's E1 mani then, as it will do untill i get a GT Pumps one, and a 18g 8)
