correct me if im wrong but is this his specs

1989, Series 5, Savanna FC3S Mazda RX-7, Turbo II
280hp
White
5-speed Manual
Black Watanabes and generic silver 5-spokes with thick spokes
FEED lip (Fujita Engineering Evolutional Development)
RE Amemiya type 1 mirrors
turbo meter, oil pressure meter, water pressure meter, fuel pressure meter(not sure about this)
generic exhaust(one exhaust)
FC3S RX-7 stock wing
driver and passenger side racing seat(generic)

Not totally sure about those HP numbers.

Sounds about right on everything but the power.

Before he raced Takumi for the first time, Ryosuke's FC had 'at least 350hp,' according to Keisuke. For the race with Takumi, Ryosuke detuned the car to ~260hp. For his races against Sudo Kyouchi of the Emperors, I'm assuming Ryosuke brought his power back to full tune.

the exhaust, i dunno if i'd call it generic. as far as i know all fc's turbo II or not came with dual outlet exhaust. lets say if it was real i'd have to say ryousukes's car would carry something like 3" single piping with some muffler that i dunno cause i havent watched it in a while.

But, it's generic because it's single, and much bigger, unlike the one on a stock FC. If anything it resembles an HKS Sport muffler.

its a Savanna Infini IV (the best FC ever made)

Most likely NOT stock.

Moving from dual to a single exhaust pipe saves alot on weight, it is strictly for racing in mind rather then looks. And one fat pipe is adequate enough to handle power from a 350hp car.

Id also say there is alot more to his engine. Noway can a stock engine handle 350hp, just by simply upping the boost. The stock ECU also has no control over excessive boost, meaning it has no control over air/fuel ratio.(I know the FDs suffer this as well, im sure the FCs dont have the technology to handle it).
Aside from everything else listed, I think the FC has: a built engine, modified small to midsize turbo, entire fuel system that is redone, and a reworked ECU(piggyback system mayb) or some type of standalone.


One big mess up they made in Initial D(well to me its big)... In one episode the Redsuns are preping Keisuke Takahashi FD they show his engine..it had a single turbo. When Keisuke was racing Takumi he thought his second turbo went out.

No he thought the second rotary went out, at least according to my fansub don't know how accurate it was though. The FD has 2 rotary engines each about 700cc big or so I can't remember the exact figures but when they put the engine size they combine them together.



Yeh just checked it's 2 654cc engines.

... oookay.

Uhhh ya. That makes no sense...you think his engine would be running on one rotor? Fansub?..hahah thats even worse..bunch of college girls that know nothing about cars.

aight dont be mean guys

ya a rotary can run on one rotor(not very well mind u but it can)

and i think id0ru is trying to say(or doesnt know) is it has 2 "rotors" not 2 rotary engines

and id0ru, im thinking ur fansubs r wrong or u miss read them cuz he definatley says he "thinks the secondary turbo went out"

Wasn't it Keisuke not Ryousuke that thought the secondary turbine went out anyway?

yes it was keisuke that said his econdary turbine went out and when you were talking about the output on the fc it was 280 to begin with keisuke's fd is the one that was pushing 350 hp. ryousuke tu8ned his fc down to 240 about when he races takumi in the end of first stage

Let me know where you can find a twin engine RX7 and I'll buy one.

yea its just a misunderstanding. ryosuke runs around 260 280 hp for takumi and 350 normally. He seemed alot faster with less power though

so let me rework this again

1989, Series 5, Savanna Infini IV FC3S Mazda RX-7, Turbo II
JDM model
0 km's
White
350hp
5-speed Manual

turbo meter, oil pressure meter, water pressure meter, fuel pressure meter
generic exhaust(one exhaust)
HKS Sport muffler
FC3S RX-7 stock wing
driver side racing seat(generic)
a modded built engine
normal sized turbo
entire fuel system redone
reworked ECU

Ur putting too much thought into his engine. Biggest and most likely setup: a 13b engine street ported with a normal sized turbo. Ryousuke is smart, and any fool knows a large turbo takes logner to spool up compared to a small turbo. (incase you dont, it weighs less, takes less force to get spinning fast), not his style if you know what i mean (the throttle lag would not suit mountain racing at all). This setup would easily give you 350 horsepower.


As to why hes got one exhaust compared to two, no real reason i can think of as this is only speculation.

doesnt he have TT? (two small turbos)
or a 13bt

i thought they were both running single turbos but they're right they only show one in the clip where kesiuke is racing takumi. so i mean wither one of the rotors in the engine went out and he was running off of one or they just neglected the second turbo

HAHA he is putting way to much thought into it.

Forget I said anything about the engine, fuel, turbo, or ecu. Just say modifed engine and/or modified turbo. Thats good enough

which one does he have modded turbo or modded engine

BOTH. With a engine like that, I wouldnt do one without the other. Stock turbo to small and non effiecient to generate 350hp..stock engine alone can not handle 350hp thrown at it. Ryousuke is smart and hes the type that would not do something on his car half ass'd.

Stock engine could handle 350 hp. Can anyone tell me where it showed keisukes turbo? I only remember it showing the engine fan on the race when hes racing takumi.
