This is a quick and simple question. How much would it cost to change a non turbo to a turbo Rx-7. (Ballpark)



thanx

It would be cheaper to buy a TII. Let's just say that.

The problem lies in the fact that NA rotarys were designed to be just that, NA. From intake manifold and exhaust manifold down to the ports and rotors themselfs, they are optomized for NA. Trying to add boost to it requires everything to be rethought.

psyclo-I think he means a full TII swap. Or could be speaking of a crazy *** 6-port turbo setup.



Just buy a TII if you want boost. If you want to not buy a TII and gain some power, port your engine.
