approx how many rwkw before 550cc rx7 injectors will max out?

A standard rule-of-thumb for a 6-banger seems to be 1 engine hp per cc of injector - thus, 550hp for a 6-cyl motor with these injectors with standard rail pressures.

You could try fitting an r34 neo inlet manifold, as they are the same bolt pattern as the rb25, and have 11mm top feed injectors. Maybe just the r34 rail will fit? 550cc injectors are good for 350rwkw at standard rail pressure, or up to 400rwkw or so with a FPR

I think it's a good approx rule of thumb but that calculates engine HP.

eg. standard 370's, 370HP = 275kws, now subtract about 50kws for drivetrainloss etc = 225rwkws

..which is about the most i would expect to see out of these little ones. Heaps of peeps get just over 200 before upgrading, so the 'rule' is close

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
