Who's rebuild kit would you recomend for a (best bang for the buck?) 1988 turbo II rebuild kit to get it to 300hp daily driver? how much? links? also how much does the turbo II motor weigh(1988)? is it worth it and more cost effiect to rebuild the motor or to put a SBF in it with granny's kit?

I say stick w/ all stock OE parts and that means mazda factory 2mm 2 piece seals.

Get FD corner seals and corner seal springs.

FD Oil pressure regulator is nice too.



and for 300hp, you can just do a hybrid w/ full exhaust. Intercooler upgrade would be a good idea.

I say get a standalone and do it right, but it can be done w/o it.



I assume you mean 300rwhp, and not flywheel?



No need to port or anything

hybrid? you mean t3/t4 turbo uprade or huh? i am new to rotarys series so bare with me please.

By hybrid I believe he is referring to 'hybridizing' your turbo. Meaning, changing compressor wheels, etc, depending on what 'stage' you go with. BNR upgrades are popular, you can check out the different stages here:



Edit: I'm trying to link you to an area on RX7 store dot net but it keeps changing the URL to google.com... don't know what teh deal is. Maybe we aren't allowed linking there? o_O



The popular upgrade is called a BNR Upgrade. Just google it.

waiting for mine to come back from bnr hes really nice and cant beat his prices go to www.bnrturbos.com

so basically porting the turbo? -i got a buddy of mine with an mr2 that can do that kind of stuff- for free - that is if that is what you mean by that. would it not be just more efficent albeit to replace the turbo or not? i know on the DSM cars (ie talon laser eclipse) if you port the 16g it still actually provides quite a bit of power. that is one of the cheap do it yourself upgrades.



so how cheap is it to get power out of these engines? eh?

BTW i just got finished over the phone with DG motors here in MN they do alot of rotary stuff i heard from friends of mine. he mentioned there was a better motor between the "open port" and the "bridge port" if i am getting that right.



which is the better motor- why- and what years? if you will.

the stock turbo is like a small t4, so you can put a larger compressor on it (stock one is small) and then it needs a little wastgate porting for boost control...

i have been reading at http://www.robrobinette.com/index.htm (kick arse website btw) and i am curious what intake would you recomend fora balance of performance and reliability? a ported stock? a aftermarket? ect.?

i would'nt take my car to a shop that calls a port job an "open port". i've never heard of it.



but yeah, contact bnr, they have TONS of satisfied customers.
