It's not that complicated Geoff. The hard part will be getting a special exhaust manifold or adapter.

I have a guy who can get make you a real nice one for the GSL-SE's.

The other complicated part is the fuel computer. A Haltec F9 seems to be the best suited.

The rest is pretty much standard.

There is a guy on the forum here - itzweapon who made his GSL-SE Turbo, using much of the stock components. I belive he his helping a friend do the same right now as well. PM him.

I guess the way most people see it(in most peoples opinion here at least) is it would be far easier to go the TII conversion rather then experiment with a 6port to put boost on. It would be interesting, but not too many people presue it since its not as straight foward as it seems and increases are less significant then going straight to TII conversion, it can be done with 6ports, but will probably take more time and money to get simialer results.

In the long run, most people would rather have a TII under the hood of their GSL-SE then a stock engine with stock compression and putting boost on that.

Good luck on whatever you decide.

Wacky, i've been told that many many times before, but i'm not going to do a turbo 2 swap. That is way in over my head (i can't even weld).

I am in contact with a man who put a cartech turbo on his, and has insane results. I believe that if its done right it will be very effective.



EDIT: Hmm. On second thought, its prolly goign to cost the same both ways. I'll continue wieghing my options.

I'm thinking about a FC N/A engine, rebuild it and then put a turbo on and use it in my FB. Should work (=> look at the 2nd gen forum, this guy did it in his FC) but I kinda wonder if it's gonna be any cheaper. I only do this 'cause I got a complete FC very cheap, because we bought two at once. The second came as an extra, but the engine is a good rebuild core. If I'd start with a clean sheet, I'd go TII. I really think it would be better to use a TII.

I'm running a 6port turbo. Got most of my parts for free. Car is stupid fast at 12psi. Never dyno the car though. No traction in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear on stock tires. Had to put some yokohama prada spec II 215/40/18 in the rear. Once the tires warm up its fine. Just put the car in the shop so the widebody can go on. Now I just have to find some 16x10 for it.

ioTus, you will most likely find more info in the 2nd gen section regarding 6-port turbos. The SE engine is at a disadvantage due to it's 2 injectors when compared to the FCs 4 injectors.

wow... iotus already built and sold that car years ago

fuggen a, i think he graduated from college by now, oh and he ended up doing a t2 swap with a ROTARYSHACK blowthrough, with cheese

The codeblues have the iotus car now.

josh...just josh

couldn't you just run a s4 intake manifold, na or turbo, and have the two other injectors?

iotus.... wow he's been gone for along time now... I remember pm'ing back and forth about the turbo swap idea's. Well he did it in the end, and I did aswell.

Maybe he'll visit this site again, to see his aqua coloured car live on!

just read this the other day, if you search for cartech its one of the matches....

I'll be throwing a turbo on my 6 port probably next winter I'm thinking. I got the turbo already, a stock S4 turbo. Not looking for crazy power, just enough to put me in the low 14's to high 13's. I figure 10-12 psi should do it. It will be done with an edelbrock carb though, the one in my sig. I believe that will be a first.

Just buy Codeblues camden, they're letting it go for a steal!

Yeah, I'd like to see it run a 13 first.. Hell, even a low 14..

Hey guys,

I've got a 13B RE-SI in my 808 wagon and I'm looking at turboing that.

What would I need to change over for the process to be complete? OMP to a S4t one?

I'd have to tap oil lines in somewhere and so forth... But I'm more interested in knowing what parts I'd have to change over, mechanicals and so forth....

Here's a link to my build up if interested.

Wow..

This thread was started in 2002... What a way to come back from the dead.

Geoff (IoTus) definitely did build an awesome car.. one of the ones I looked up to the most in my early years on the forum. Amazingly enough, I'm getting some IoTus taillights soon

Anyhow, good to know that someone's using the search function... krazy_1st_gen

I'm amazed that trochoid didn't pick up on the old thread, but then again, he's still a youngin' on the forum, comparatively (how often do you get called that, eh Scott?)

The 13b re-si, is essentially the same as the Gsl-se motor, which is what I posted above, the s4 turbo required oil and coolant.

for oil, what I did was get the re-speed oil pedistile and using a 5an into the turbo and -10 an out into the side of the oil pan with a baffle inside the oil pan.

for coolant you can use the the coolant line which runs through the trottle body and bypass that into your turbo. Also now that it doesn't flow through the trottle it stays cooler and your intake temps drop.

Also you'll need to add a spacer between the engine and the turbo manifold 2.5 inches this can be done with a custom manifold or the aaron cake menthod of 2 flanges and some tubing... either way works fine

after that you need to redo a section of exhaust and, add more fuel!

good luck

p.s you can use the stock omp or change to s4 which bolts up the same

"The 13b re-si, is essentially the same as the Gsl-se motor"

Really? Are you talking about the one with smaller ports but is otherwise the same engine? It came out of an HC Luce or something. I tore one down and the ports were surprisingly small.

Yeah dude, ioTus, I'd reccomend just going with a TII block, do the whole swap across. The blowthrough carb'ed setups work well, take some tuning, but once you get it dialed in you definately have the power. Gas mileage goes down the tube, but hey, it's an RX7, right??

In fact, if /I/ were to do a turbo swap, I'd probably just save up the money and go straight for a 3rd gen block, EFI swap, single turbo, exhaust, fmic, keep it low key, but you'll be good for at least 300 horse to the wheels, easy.

But that's just me.
