Hey guys, I am getting my 2nd rotary soon, a series 3 rx7, I am getting a na one as I have a turbo/intercooler/exh.manifold and boost controller in my room. Does anyone know EXACTLY the steps involved in putting the turbo on the engine, what I will need, rough cost estimate etc??



P.S. I am in Perth Australia



thanks guys

yeah first you have to put in some 3 mm seals. that way you wont kill it when you overboost, or any boost for that matter

as far as i know 3mm seals arent really needed. get some 2mm racing seals, and you will be set....

it would prob cost the same to get 3mm seals. they arent that much. either way you still have to take it all apart.
