So I kinda like this set-up for my FB... What do you think?

All of this is from www.rotaryshack.com.

Total price is about $600. And, I believe that I can run a turbo to that efi using the blowthrough hat thing, but I'm not sure.

Jimlab, your thoughts?

(BTW, I hereby nominate JimLab as the illstreet RX-7 all around performance technical guru. All in favor?)

If you're going to turbocharge, those little throttle bodies will be a restriction. You'd be better off with a large log-style intake plenum and a single throttle body of sufficient size (~90mm).

Can I get one of those that would adapt to that manifold? I really like that manifold.

Also, if I decide to wait on the turbo, would that EFI system, manifold, a streetport and a full RB exhaust make pretty good power? (13B, btw.)

Manntis has a spectacular aura about
13B EFI in a GSL-SE makes 135hp. RB claims their full exhaust adds 30hp. on the butt dyno the system definately adds noticeable oomph, sounds great (mellow @ idle, throaty but not obnoxious under load) and looks good. The 13B also has a nice broad, flat torque curve and is among the more reliable rotaries.

But that's the stock EFI, right? Will this aftermarket set-up perform better or worse? What do you think the streetport will add?

Ugh, I should just get a frickin' turbo and be done with it. Rotary Shack sells S5 T2 motors for $1200.

Wrong.

RX-7, performance, and reliabilty dont go together.

RX-7 and performance goes well together just fine. As do RX-7 and reliability. You just cant have all three.

Alright, back on topic:

I've debated it all day long, come up with the pros and cons for all the situations.

The easiest (and, it just so happens, least expensive) route is simple.

I get meddle's wolf 3d.

I buy a T2 tranny, upgraded turbo and S5 T2 motor from Rotary Shack.

I buy an FMIC on ebay or something.

I buy a downpipe and have one of the local race shops fabricate the rest of the exhaust.

There ya have it.
