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.

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

 

"Just get a TII"



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 ***.

 

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?
