Is A Bridgeport Rx7 Streetable?

The age old question of porting vs streetability? With a big port comes some sacrifices on the street. Is it worth it to you?

A few things to take away from the video.
-Wiggle shift knob when in neutral
-Mean face when driving is a must
-Bridgeport
-If you need to pull a hill, you can pull a hill
-At red lights rotaries are the coolest cars
-Bridgeport
-Rev instead of horn(because racecar)
-Neutral is more than a friend
-BRIDGEPORT!

The 2 things will never get old to this gear head..
#1 a loud throaty rotary

#2 the smell of 2 stroke running specially with premix first thing in the morning👃

finally someone explaining why a bridgeport is tough to street.

I had an old b20a5 Prelude oil burner. Ran high RPM runners always open, no air filter. I ran it for 50k miles that way. No problems whatsoever. It had a stock exhaust and the intake made so much noise I got pulled over for, but there wasn't an Idaho statute about intake noise, so I got off. "Put your money in a loud stereo like everyone else." No, you'd cite me for that.

Damn I LOVE the sound of a well built rotary!

I had an ‘82 RX7 with an RX4 13B Bridgeport and twin 48mm down draught Weber and streeted it for years. Good fun. Rocked the car at idle. 4” exhaust and rotorflo muffler sounded sweet. Miss the ol girl.

I freakin love his face when he gets on it. It's like a mix of excitmemt, fear, and satisfaction all in one face!😂

[KerbyEP]

That face. Concentration, excitement, but more importantly accomplishment. Welcome brother to stage II.

[Despreatefool]

This is the exact setup I’m building towards right now thank you for making this video

[boredgaminglowammo]

This is perfect!! Exactly how I want my 1981 rx-7 to sound and drive. It's all about the Braps. Fuel consumption, who cares lol. It's a rotary, a true funhaver! Smiles per mile, that's what it's all about.

God... I’m jealous the 12A NA BP sounds beautiful. I just finished my 13B NA half bridge, I hope it sounds half as good as this.

9:40 that was sketchy going over the centre line with oncoming oooof

[corollatrd]

its a bridge port.. ripper.. hahaha love it!

[larrykay]

And your clock still works. Awesome! I miss my 13B street ported 1979 RX7 that I drove from 1981 thru 1991 :(

[yorgiegarcia]

Ive been watching your videos, love them.

Just bought a 84 GSL, 12A bridge ported, 650 Holley Carb. Been wanting one for years but played with my 04 RX8 last 5 years or so.

Love to see

[maxpower]

miss having rotary cars.. I had 5 RX7s in my younger days

[MotoWot]

Thanks for making this video, it reminds me of when I used to street drive my RX4 with 13b bridgeport and 51IDA Weber (48IDA bored out to 51mm, also had an extension welded onto the fuel bowl). The best thing I ever did with that combo was change from F2 to F11 emulsion tubes - mid range power improved significantly. I don't know if that will translate to your carb and 12A, but it may be worth experimenting with different emulsion tubes if you haven't already. It looks like your 12A goes well and it sounds great.

It's been 3 years, this video never gets old. Also, nobody seems to talk about this Jesse brapman cook some primix on his car😂

You always remind me of breaking bad man, but a lot cooler😂
