Nic Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Just been down at my tuners, they had my mates RX7 on the dyno mapping the F-con Pro V. The engine is brand new from the States, from a company that builds race tuned RX engines and has been fitted by my tuners here with an HKS T-04Z single turbo kit. this is the first time I've heard a tuned RX7 rotory engine, Jesus the noise is unbelievable, sounds more like a bike or F1 engine, very high pitched and deafeningly load. Stood next to the car whilst on the dyno, even with my fingers in my ears it was painfully loud. It had an extractor pipe on the Apexi exhaust, which obiously had a hole in it as it kept spitting out huge flames Can't wait for it to be finished so I can get a ride in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 Fantastic noise ain't it ! The rotary engine certainly has a very unique noise, like no other car I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Don't decatted Mazdas spit flames more readily than Nissans as well? Only downfall on mine is there's not enough flameage!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outatime Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 The rotary engine certainly has a very unique noise, like no other car I've ever heard. The Dragon Motorsports Rex sounded amazing at Rotorstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ada7 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I had my rex on the rolling road the other week. The sound was just amazing And yeh, it did spit out some flames a couple of times. I was having a Apexi FC mapped up as mine is de-catted and was running a bit lean at the top end. If you think a standard 2 rotor Rx7 is load, you should hear the 4 rotor Hayward car!!!!!. It was at RotorstockII and was almost as loud as the jet cars. totally mad Any pictures of your mates car Nik? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRex Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 bigger injectors mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ada7 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Well its ok now mate. Got told by Geoff at ReWorks that i wouldnt need bigger injectors yet as im still on the standard turbos. He said the next upgrade maybe a bigger fuel pump and regulator, with colder plugs. But im happy as it is at the moment Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
