88 Rx7 non-turbo SE, 13b rotary, runs good, but has been in storage for 2.5 years. This car is really clean except the paint. I am going through it a piece at a time and need adivce on performance modifications, what will work, or what is best, turbo? or supercharged? This car has a auto trans, that sucks, but the car was free to me so what the hell?

I havent yet found a mechanic in my area that knows about rotary engines, and I know the dealers will rape me. Have all the tools and equipment to do the work, just lack the know how. Any help would be appreciated. I want this car to be fast, have a mustang friend that needs his attitude adjusted, and I just plain love this car so I want the most out of it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

unfortunately you are starting out on the wrong foot.............................................. ........ if you want beat your mustang friend. get this car running sell it then look for a TII...... its the truth....

yeah, doing a non turbo to a turbo swap is one thing, and doing the auto to manual swap is easy but to do both you have to want to spend a lot of money and time on that car

Well, damn the bad luck, I had high hopes for this car. What about NOS, is that a feasable option or am I wanting too much?

put a 150shot N20. either you will break the auto tranny or the engine... flip a coin https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

you know Vosko, you're right, after reading all these threads for months now, I'm convinced a turbo swap is such a pain in the ass.

you guys don't think i went through the same thing when i had my 89 GTU.... so what did i do i went and found a 87 TII.... it was a hunk of junk so i later sold it, then i bought my FD, then found the TII.... now i only have the TII. if i find another good deal on a S5 TII.... well i will have one again lol

Thanks for the info, maybe I can sell it after Christmas. Any idea about what it might be worth in moderate shape and 114,000 miles?
