Why would you want to? You could do a turbo for much cheaper than $4300. I doubt that would work in a 1st gen anyway.

That is an upgrade for an already turbocharged Rex I do believe.


Damn ! Did you see the prices on those Rx-7 mirrors ?

Thats a single turbo upgrade for the FD crowd to replace their weak twin turbos.Thats why its expensive,cause FD owners have $$.

You can push 8 lbs into an SE engine with a $200, stock S5 turbo(Hitachi T-18).Thats all your gonna want to feed a N/A engine anyways,so theres no point in looking at highend aftermarket turbos capable of 20psi,unless you upgrade to a turbo engine block.
