Got this off of the RX-7 Kills forum...

T78 vs modded S2000
I dont know why I have been able to find all these races lately. I usually cant find any to save my life. But I was sitting at a stoplight taking a left and this Beautiful yellow S2000 comes up behind me. WE take a left and as i am turning I can hear that his car is guite a bit louder than stock. I wait to see if he is going to get up behind me but he goes straight over to the far right lane like he is going to turn off but he desides to go straight. then he kind of looks at me and takes off. So I was like OH HELL its on now. So I jump over 2 lanes to get behind him and the next light is red and I am behind him with nobody in front of us. From behind the car I can see that his dual exaust is quite a bit larger than stock and instead of a honda emblem on the back it has a big fancy S emblem. So we take off and I am having to let off the gas to keep from running into his rear, and as soon as the left lane clears i floor it in 2nd and just fly by him. Hit 3rd and keep on going. I figured that he must have let off the gas for me to have passed him that bad but when I lifted here he cames flying by me as fast as he can. Then he turns off real quick into this parking lot so I follow him to chat but he is just flying through the parking lot trying to get away from me. I guess he is one of those guys that gets pissed when you kill them but oh well. He will sure think again before messing with another Rx7!!!!!!!!

Must have been somebody from here since he said there was a S emblem not H. Well, I raced one RX-7 before and let me just say that the smell from the exhaust was terrible!!!! Oh well, it was fun tho.....gave him a thumbs up....

 

Heh...i think probly anything running against a T78 is gonna lose. Especially one on an RX7.
Oh, and that smelly exhaust is the result of yanking your cats. Ya get used to it after awhile

A T78? What's the stock turbo that comes on the Rx-7?

 

You win some you loose some.
No shame in that

 

Obviously someone feels bad and doesn't want to comment about this. I'm sure as well that it's someone on this board. C'mon buddy, step forward ... It's nothing big deal with an Rx-7 defeat, they are quite powerful cars.

 

A T78 is a very big single turbo, particularly for a RX-7. It's funny you ask about the stock turbos, they're two IHI's, but I have no idea what model they are (they max out at about 360rwhp at 14psi though). If you want 400 + rwhp, you need to change turbos on an FD.

Edit - And btw, that guy with the T78 has 450rwhp, and beat a GSXR 750 on a roll, so I can't imagine why the S2000 owner would be ashamed to own up to this one

 

I was gonna say, a T78 is one big ass turbo. Mine's only a T25
