LOL that's what you get for abandoning the hyundai!

Just be glad you didn't go for a test drive in a supercar. Heck I went for a ride in a friend's 3000GT with uprated turbos and EVERY car is slow now.

my friend has a g35 coupe, 280hp something. it's really fast, but i still like my car over it any day. it would be awesome if they made rx convertibles, but ones that actually looked good.

Ha... what's funny is that I raced my buddy (an experienced driver at that) in my Rx7. He was in my tiburon, and he barely beat me.

... and I thought my Tiburon was quick! lmao.gif

At least, what are some specs I'm looking for when selecting a turbo for my Rx7? I know it has to be significantly larger than one I'd put on a Tiburon, but if anyone who's good with turbo sizing wouldn't mind shooting me some figures, I'd appreciate it!

Maybe a pair of little 4cyl turbos? I've had a TE04H sitting in my garage for a while.... maybe I could use another and run them in parallel?

I don't have any pics yet, as I haven't even seen the drivetrain yet! I've been communicating with this guy by email since seeing it on craigslist. However, if you want pics, it might look a little something like this:
