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

 

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.
