Dominic Toretto drove a Mazda RX-7 in the film The Fast And The Furious, I just recently found this out, the guy who gave me a few stats on some of the cars I was seeking didn't have everything on this particular vechile so I figured why not ask here. What he did give me was quite helpful though.
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-7
Year:
Horsepower: 486(575 with nitrous)
0-60: 4.9 Seconds
0-100:
Quarter Mile: 12.21 Seconds
Color: Red
Bodykit: VeilSide Body Kit
Tires: 18" Toyo Tires
Rims: VeilSide Rims
Speakers:
Engine: 1.3 Liters Twin rotor rotary engine
Engine Modifications: T78 Turbocharger "Sneaky Pete" under-seat nitrous system
Front End Modifcations:
Rear End Modifications: VeilSide Rear Wing
All I really need on this one is the year, the 0-100 would be nice to, whatever you guys can get ASAP.

0-100 is prolly in the low 9's...gotta account for at least one more gear change , that car should hit 60 in 2nd , 100+ in 3rd.
I'm surprised at the Hp #'s , thats not really a lot. An Mk4 Supra can do about 100+ more than that on just the STOCK turbo's:cool:

According to TFAFT website the '95 Toyota Supra Turbo has 650 HP, if it took two shots of NOS(which I hear can be up to 100 HP per shot, i'm no car expert i'm just theorizing) then what I read on this other site about the '69 Charger having approximately 900 HP is true but that thing was purely stock no SC's or TC's.

Right you are, but you have to factor in the weight of the car plus the rpm's. So the weight of the RX-7 is lighter and it takes less power to push it as fast as it needs. The supra is much lighter than the Charger helping it get that extra speed.

It's a 1994 RX-7.

Which is because the Charger's body is mostly made of metal unlike the RX-7 or the Supra which are somewhat metal but not mainly as old cars such as the Charger. I think the reason Car Co.'s starting mixing other materials with the metal was to reduce dents as well the cost of making the car and to preserve a natural resource(in this case metal).
Just my theory though, for all I know they could be doing it for some other completely unknown reason.

Whatya mean STOCK:bloated: That thing has a BIG ASS blower on it........:cool: Looked like about a 14/71.
The Mk4 Supra can put 650 on the ground with just the turbo's , I used to street-race with an old Japanese guy that had one all maxxed out like that.
NOS can be shot as high as ya want , I've seen kits for sale in excess of a 175 shot.

Yes there was a blower, but if he had it on it would of made a sound man and I didn't hear anything other than the engine itself.
If you've seen Mad Max you know how loud a Blower is, and what it sounds like.

Not all blowers sound like that. Certain designs don't make that much noise. Not to mention sound can be edited.:sun:

But man, a blower also has to be turned on in order to operate, we didn't see Dom flip any switches or press any buttons now did we? Some blowers are just for looks.

how is 486 not a lot of power? that amount is very hard to obtain. and there's something not right about those times. my rx-7 goes 0-60 in 4 flat and it doesn't even have a t-78. the quarter mile should be damn near 11 seconds flat for that amount of power to the wheels. i think you should check your sources cuz something's not right.

you guys are all talking about these cars like they are fully legit.
i was one of the docking movers for the car show here in los Angeles back in 2002 not to mention i did some race scenes with my cars in the new movie coming out soon called Quattro Noza, i promote this movie as well as participated in many of the race scenes.
i moved the infamous RX7 from fast and the faries that u are all posting about, it is a decent car but it was mostly show.
it has mods but really nothing serious, many of my friends and myself have 2nd gen Turbo2's with smaller turbos that could smoke the crap out of that 3rd gen.
it's not really what they made it to be in the movie. i drove it round the lot b4 we posed it for show, its strong and its quick but nothing to drool over.

WRONG.....don't know much about superchargers do you...? They run ALL the time. The supercharger as shown in MAD MAX does not exist. Thats something they made up for the movie , basically using an A/C clutch on a regular 6/71 supercharger. No way that would work on a bigger model , theres too much force required to turn them.
One car that DOES have a supercharger like that is the 1st gen MR2 , from 1986. Its a very small S/C that uses an A/C type clutch to disengage when its not needed. It was the only car to use such a device , and there was a few problems with them , which is why the 2nd gen MR2 was turbo.......:D

486 is not that much power. about average for average mods , I'd say.
Ever seen an RB26DETT with 1000+ HP?? Not really hard to obtain either.
If you don't know what you are doing , yes , horsepower is hard to get.
The reason your car is SO fast to 60 mph is BECAUSE it doesn't have that huge T-78 on there. You don't have nearly the lag that thing does. Turbo's that big are for top end power only.

What he said. These cars were all just a bunch of hype. Something that always bothered me is how they show the crappiest turbo Eclipse ever made (the GS-T) keeping up with an RX7. Sorry , not in the real world....:finger: Maybe a GSX (AWD) with a ton of mods , but not a GS-T. The white EVO shoulda smoked it by a mile.....

you must have different standards as me, or you must own a money tree or something. anyone with the right amount of money can make more power than that. it's with what mods you make that power with that counts. it's all in the tuning. have you ever tuned a car to 1000 hp on your own wallet? what good is a 1000 hp car anyway? that's crazy to downsize someone's best efforts to tune their car. would you call 385 rwhp on stock turbos and engine not an accomplishment? it's been done. and about the lag thing. a t-78, or any big turbo, will only show lag in first gear as long as you take it past 4500 rpms before you shift. so a t-78 will not slow your times down as long as you learn how to drive it with all of the power.

I was just using the RB26 as an example. You can get that kind of HP with about $10K in internal parts. The turbo's are about $3500 apiece.:eek:
385 on stock turbo's is good. Thats on your car??
I did right around that on my '92 Eclipse GSX , also with the stock parts , just bigger injectors and fuel line upgrade. Just ported the **** out of everything.
I'm just saying with the TFATF RX7 , considering all the money thats in that car , I woulda expect a bigger HP number....:bloated:

Guess that's another movie mistake on MM and TFAFT. Both for false advertisement, MM's being as showing the function of a blower being to turn it on when as you explained it's on whenever the engine is started and TFAFT for editing the sound(I've heard V8's that sound just like that Charger WITHOUT mods so they had to of edited the sound, bastards).
The Mad Max supercharger was strictly for show, that I have read up on, the 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT was a 300HP machine(the '73 was a 400, why they didn't use it is beyond me) the mechanic that had fixed the car up in the movie(the actor mind you) said it had 600HP, had that SC been running yeah it might of produced that but other then that there's no real proof. Also, the US counterpart of the Ford Falcon is the Ford Torino incase any of you fellow MM fans may want to build a replica with a few extra mods to suit your tastes.
The front and rear ends of the car are also those of a Ford Fauramot(I think that's how it's spelled), I maybe no engine/modifications expert but I can get normal specs.
Yes, i'm a newbie(or a ricer, whatever the hell that means) when it comes to engines and engine work.

NOW THIS is a RX-7!

Kinda looks like a '85 or '86 Ferrari with that Bodykit. Wonder if it's a 94 as well, i'm pretty sure that's a Veil Side Bodykit(notice the lettering on the windshield)

The whole car was done by Veilside. It looks like the 93 - 94 body style. They also have a Supra to match.

I was just recently given a site by a new member called RANDON 61, and I stumbled onto some confusing things. Here is the article
Bright lights, screaming fans, limousines, and girls (of course) are just a few perks that come with fame. Keith Imoto of Newport Beach, California, always wanted to be famous, but the question was, how? Little did he know, his '93 Mazda FD3S RX-7 would be the answer.
Faster than a Hollywood starlet could say yes to a "casting" session on a producer's couch, celebrity came knocking in the form of The Fast and the Furious and from there, trickled down from the film's star, Vin Diesel, to the now famous FD3S. I wish I could become famous too. I'm not down with shaving my head and lifting mad amounts of weights, so I guess that takes me out of the picture.
In the end of 1995, American Mazda decided to discontinue RX-7 sales, but nothing would ever diminish this legendary sports car's reputation. Equipped with a 13B-REW rotary motor, the FD3S is an excellent platform to work off of. With only 1.3L of displacement, the factory FD3S is capable of pushing 255 hp with the help of a unique sequential turbo setup. That's just about 196hp per liter-go ahead and pull out a calculator.
Keith started his project with minor bolt-ons consisting of Mazda Trix front and mid-pipes and a Blitz Nurspec R exhaust. Opening up the exhaust flow not only increased the 13B's rumble level a notch louder than my stomach after eating a bowl of Tom Yum Goong, but it also allowed Keith to raise boost an extra .3 BAR. Unfortunately, additional fuel was not incorporated to match the higher boost levels. Not knowing that the 13B motor can be very fragile if not properly tuned, Keith learned a hard lesson. The increased boost pressures caused the 13B motor to lean out and forced the stock apex seals to call it quits. Keith was distraught as he towed his FD to the guys at Sidepex for some assistance. To avoid such occurrences in the future, Sidepex tore the rotary motor down and fit it with stronger 3mm apex seals. Before reassembling the Wankel, they initiated a street port to extract maximum power.
With the rehabilitated 13B in place, Keith decided to give the motor a full workout. Already numb to the performance of a slightly modified FD, he added an Apex AVC-R to maintain full control of boost pressures. This time, he knew that just cranking the boost could be fatal.
Engine management of choice came from Apex in the form of a Power FC stand-alone computer. The Apex Power FC allows XS to tune the fuel maps in order to avoid any potential fuel mishaps. Any further troubles with leaning out were taken care of by a high-pressure fuel pump out of a 20B-REW (tri-rotor) Cosmos. A pair of Blitz stainless steel air cleaners ensures that no unwanted particles will find their way to the turbo compressor wheels and a Blitz Super Sound blow-off valve was bolted on the charge pipe to minimize backspin (which could lead to permanent damage to the stock sequential turbos). Theres something hypnotizing about hearing turbo spool-up, followed by a release of an angry sounding blow-off valve. Maybe thats just me, but then again, I'm a boost junky and I need help. And since rotaries are notorious for running extremely hot, an aluminum radiator from Knight Sports helps keep the 13B at operable temperatures.
As mean as the rotary may be to the ear, the exterior is responsible for the car's aggressiveness. A full VeilSide Combat-II body kit hugs itself around the FD. The wide mouth on the hand-laid, fiberglass bumper reveals a huge Blitz front mount intercooler. Every piece of the original VeilSide body kit is fully functional, including the carbon-fiber rear wing. Smothered with fire engine red paint and Troy Lee custom graphics, the FD is camouflaged for all-out war. RE Amemiya's sleek headlight kit replaces the bulky pop-up factory headlights. Maybe if I did this to my car, I could get chicks. Then again, probably not. For street handling, Apex T-MAX shocks with Racing Beat springs do the trick. Cornering is aided by 18-inch VeilSide Andrew Racing F rims wrapped in Toyo T1 rubber. The interior receives treatment from Apex as well. A full line of A'pex gauges allows Keith reference to the temperamental 13B's vital statistics. He topped off the cabin with a Recaro seat and a VeilSide steering wheel to give the FD a more cockpit-like atmosphere.
Although Keith hasn't taken his FD to the track yet, he assures us that it's very fast. But after you've hit the silver screen, speed just doesn&'t seem all that important anymore.
Now I don't know about everything else, but if 255 HP is all it can push WITH a turbo set up than the Eclipse would of easily beaten it. As i've been told NOS shots can generate up to 100 HP, now you count that with the fact the Eclipse can do 250HP(yes this is exact because it's on the official site) then the Eclipse would of easily smoked it with just 1 shot of NOS but it took 2 just for the Eclipse to keep up with the RX-7 which is why I believe Allen called it right when he said this particular RX-7 has 486.

1000HP is not hard to get?!?!? Yes there are many 1000HP GTR's in Japan etc etc, but not hard to get? There are probably $50-100,000 dollars spent on those cars on top of their price for the car to give them 1000HP. Geez.

can we stop talking about real life applications of car modification when we are refering to a movie? it's all fake. none of those cars even really blow flames, it's fake. so it really doesn't matter if the eclipse should have only needed 1 shot of nitrous or not, because it was all staged.

I don't like repeating myself too much. NO , 1000 HP is not hard to get. I know of SEVERAL 2JZ-equipped Supra's that are throwing 900 Hp on the ground with 100% stock internals. The RB26 in the Skylines is quite capable of the same feat. These motors are BADASS from the factory , which is why they cost $10,000 or more to replace. The BS you hear about people spending a $100K or more on an engine is all hype. I've never met anyone that was a real racer with a real car that spent $100K yet......including the car. Talk like that is reserved for TFATF .
If you also notice , the TFATF RX7 is still running the stock turbo's. Getting 486 Hp from the stock turbo's is no big deal as evidenced by his short parts list. That particular engine is ready for a T-78 transplant , which would prolly send it past 800Hp:cool: He's already got everything else in there , the 3MM apex seals and the "street" porting. In fact he's not doing that motor any favors by running the stock turbo's , the main problem is the restrictive exhaust manifold heats up quite badly under high boost.:bloated:

rxtacy is right. 486 on stockers is huge.
hell the BNR stage 3 rebuilt and modified stock twins running in non-seq. make about 430 at the most. And for gobs of high end unstreetable power, the T88 takes precidence over the T78. The T78 can bring you to aobut 600-650. Which is still a LOT of power.
*edit* oh yeah, you gotta start going past the "street port" once you start edging towards 500 horse. More like a jumbo, monster, whathaveyou port. I like to call it the "Ridiculous amounts of overlap causing pretty much loss of all low end power and torque-port":D :devil:

I have a 3 rotor rx7 which produces aprox 700 hp at the wheels. Here are a couple of observations which can be disputed at anyones leisure.
1. Getting a hp of almost 500 from an rx with stock turbos is very hard to do. The turbos are small and a lot of work is necessary to get over 400 with them. Remember, you can just put a cam in a rotary for more hp...Getting up to 400 is pretty easy...over 400 hard.
2. Getting big hp numbers from the Supra is fairly easy. I would love to say it isn't but it is. If someone wanted a low buck hot rod, the supra would be the way to go.
3. In the movies, you can do anything. Turning off a supercharger, chirping tires in the dirt, jumping over things, etc.
However, if you want to shoot flames out the exhaust, here is what you do (only with carb engines, won't work with fuel injection). While travelling at about 65 to 70 mph, turn the car off, leaving the car in gear (don't lock the steering!!!), count to about 5 and turn the ignition into the on position. The unburnt fuel sitting in exhaust system with ignite. If you have a vehicle with cats in it, they will burn out after a little while and you will have a flame thrower!

2. Getting big hp numbers from the Supra is fairly easy. I would love to say it isn't but it is. If someone wanted a low buck hot rod, the supra would be the way to go.
3. In the movies, you can do anything. Turning off a supercharger, chirping tires in the dirt, jumping over things, etc.
However, if you want to shoot flames out the exhaust, here is what you do (only with carb engines, won't work with fuel injection). While travelling at about 65 to 70 mph, turn the car off, leaving the car in gear (don't lock the steering!!!), count to about 5 and turn the ignition into the on position. The unburnt fuel sitting in exhaust system with ignite. If you have a vehicle with cats in it, they will burn out after a little while and you will have a flame thrower!
You are so full of BS. You can shoot flames out of a fuel injected RX-7... All I have to do is take the supertrap disks off my Turbo II.

I just wanted to add that u can throw flames with fuel injection, i have a 1987 TurboII with the full Racing Beat exhaust and the F.C.D.
My car is otherwise stock except it's been retuned. Whenever i rev high and shift i throw some mad blue flames and get a loud pop.
it doesnt bother me only cuz im waiting for the motor to go out so i can rebuild.
Carbs aren't the only ones that can throw flames.

My RX3 with 13B turbo blew flames all the time, especially when I caned it and then slowed down Ie coming off the freeway. Had a few stupid ppl trying to tell me my car was on fire! hehe

And please dont start this 500HP at the wheels with stock turbos debate again - it is impossible!! A GT3540 on a ported 13B makes around 500RWHP@22PSI on a dyno dynamics and u r saying u can get that with stock turbos?!?! Why get a aftermarket turbo then? T-78 gives around the same power level but the GT3540 spools up quicker and is a better turbo IMO for the street. A GT3540 is already pushing around 15PSI at 3500RPM!!!
My friends Fd with just an exhaust has 215RWHP on a dyno dynamics, there is no way u can more than double that on the stock turbos!
I will scream if I here this again.

I'm not arguing with you there. The stock turbo's and exhaust mani can't handle the heat. I've seen writeups on this time and time again in SCC and Import Tuner.

Sorry guys, that was a typo, of course rotarys don't have cams.
As far as the flames go, I have only done with carb engines. My understanding was that once the ignition is turned off, the injectors stop pulsing and therefore there is no fuel in the exhaust whereas with a carb, the fuel is still sucked in.
If anyone questions my car, it was built at KD rotary and is currently at Alamo getting a big single put on...
Anyone else have a 20b here?

basically all rotors with bigger injectors, new computers etc will shoot flames. Because rotors run alot more fuel than piston engines, alot of it comes out the exhaust, especially if u have ported it. As soon as the exhaust gets hot, then u get the flames.
