Meaning you should buy a Turbo II or do a turbo swap if you want to go easy 14's and then faster when modded with less money.

i dont think i could do this or it wouldn't be to good of an idea....but i'll ask......can i juz get the manifold and turbo of a t 2 or something and bolt it on my engine.....i just looked and the closes t2 around me is 100+ miles away and they want almost 4g's

I know what you mean.... I went through that for a while when I was looking for a Turbo II and then just bought an N/A.



I don't think you can just bolt up a T2 manifold and turbo because the rotors and housings are different with lower compression plus you would need upgraded fuel system, ECU, add intercooler and oil plumbing to support the turbo.

yea i thought you would have to go through to much of a mission.....well i'm off for the night.....thanx for your help

I don't see why carb would give any performance gain over efi unless your efi system is not performing properly... just have to tune the efi, and IMO the intake manifolds on the NA's in stock form are pretty poor castings, I'm wiling to bet a large part of any gains swapping out the stock efi for a carb is just due to replacing the manifolds with better units.



You can turbo the na motor, it's just a question of how determined and knowledgeable you are.... high compression turbo motors are very doable, and not necessarily a bad thing.



And it's not really that much cheaper to build a TurboII, get prices on upgraded turbos, intercoolers, fuel system parts, waste gates, blowoff valves, popoff valves, the **** is all expensive.... and in the end most people end up switching to aftermarket EMS and these transmissions are high mileage so even a built turboii will likely break some drivetrain parts and need them replaced/rebuilt... taking that all into account, in the end the costs are similar to building an NA or turning the NA into a turbo, even including replacing trans etc. Also, it's alot easier to find a clean NA RX-7 for a good price than a clean TurboII.



If it makes your car go faster, it costs. The only thing that is relatively cheap which can make you go fast is n2o... but it's not cheap after you blow up the motor. The same goes for turning up boost on turbo cars though, sure you can get more horsepower just by increasing boost... but if you're not smart you will detonate and spend a shitload more.
