I got a 86 Rx-7 I curious if anyone can tell me how to go about converting this non turbo into turbo or where i can get a cheap engine that is already turbo? Thanks

Well u can drop a turbo motor in there, along with the ECU or StandAlone EMS, wiring harness, injectors, fuel pump, drivetrain, throttle cable, and hood or FMIC

Turboing an n/a has been done but it can't handle too much boost ( past 6psi) since it has higher compression rotors. But i have heard its alot easier/cheaper to carb and turbo an n/a. If you can find a good price TII that would be the easiest route, but they are rare. some ppl just go the hard route https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Check Ebay......They have whole engines with tranny and everything sometimes.

Or you can buy one already setup with a turbo from the factory. It's much easier this way. Probably cheaper in the long run. Plus you won't have the downtime with a project n/a car. The 87~88 (zenki) turbos are plentiful compared to the 89~91 (kouki) turbos. This way you'll get a car that already has the better tranny, suspension, brakes, etc.

IF you really need to ask, then it's probably over your head. It's a pain. I know of someone with a standalone and he's got tuning issues out the wazzoo. Great low end though.
