Mazda RX7 Engine Porting

-Intake Porting
-Street Port
-Half Bridge Port
-Full Bridge Port

-Manifold Runners- Port match
Port matching the manifold runners to the engine ports will reduce turbulence and increase hp, while decreasing turbo lag (if applicable).

-Throttle Body-
Despite claims, this does not give a ton of extra horsepower. What it does do, however, is gives a greater increase in throttle response and a little more of that “instant power” when you mash the gas pedal down all at once. The engine will rev up a bit quicker and feel like it’s a lot more open through the midrange. It also aids slightly with spool-up on turbo cars.

- Engine Street Port 1
If you’re asking the question: “will a ported engine still pass smog?” this is the port for you. Air flow path is smoothed out and closing edge of the port is tapered for better flow. Port timing is either not advanced at all, or only slightly advanced, depending on application. Gas mileage is typically not affected. Stock turbo(s) and computer works just fine, although some form of fuel enrichment should be used on 3rd gens.

-Engine Street Port 2- 
Same as port style 1, but with advanced port timing. Gives awesome power through the midrange and spools turbos a lot quicker. This is the port where your idle quality deteriorates. A reasonable idle of 800-900 rpm can still be achieved, but you’ll notice some misfiring due to the extra port overlap. Vacuum signal typically between 14 and 16” @ 900 rpm. This port can be customized to your specification. Gas mileage either stays about the same or decreases slightly, but 20+ mpg on a properly tuned setup is still attainable, depending on weight, driving habits, etc…. stock turbo(s) is inadequate and should be upgraded. you’ll see the best results with an engine management system.

---HALF BRIDGE PORT---

-Engine Halfie 1-
Brap brap brap… but still streetable (depending on your idea of what streetable is). Brappy idle between 1200 and 1400, vacuum signal deteriorates quite a bit.. gas mileage goes downhill, big top end power though. Stand alone engine management mandatory!

-Engine Halfie 2-
BRAP BRAP BRAP …a more extreme version where the rotor housings themselves are notched to facilitate better flow. Idle @ 1500-1600 rpm, vacuum signal is about non-existent. Don’t even think about commuting with it as massive overlap is a problem from the large bridge porting. Definitely requires the use of a standalone EMS and upgraded primary and secondary injectors. Street trips are possible, but drivability is definitely effected.
