Hey guys, I'm trying to help out my dad here. I've searched this site, but I think i need something more in depth to get this thing installed. My dad has an 82 rx7, 12a, gsl or whatever the highest model is i believe, and bought a car tech turbo about a year ago, and still has done nothing with it to get it installed. He says he has the intake manifold, but not the exhaust. He said it took it to a muffler shop and they said that they didn't have a flange for it so they couldn't really help much. I really want him to get this thing on b/c he is thinking of selling the car cause it seems that nobody can figure out how to get the thing bolted up and working. The car is stock besides maybe a header he said. What all would the car need to get the turbo on and working? He says that the turbo is designed to bolt to a holly carb. if that helps any..He also has a turbo from a 2g turbo II as well as the top mount intercooler. Which would be easier/better? If anybody has any pictures of a similar set up, that would help a lot also. Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance.

 

sell the turbo setup?

 

well if he doesnt have the exhaust manifold...wut excatly of the purpose of the "kit" he should have a exhaust manifold tha bolts on to block...then the turbo to that...then tubing to carb...and any carb preped for boost will work just might need a different carb hat. and hes gona have to tap the front cover for the turbo oil return...and tap into a pressurized oil source to go to the turbo. then gettin back to the exhaust...u may have to get a machine shop to make a downpipe...THEN take it to exhaust shop. seems like a lot of work but isnt that bad. that is if he has the exhaust manifold

 

Would there be anywhere online to find that manifold? Or should he just keep going to different exhaust shops to see if one of them can make it? Thanks.

 

Where would you tap an oil line from? Thanks.

 

post pics of what you have, and we'll fill in the blanks.

 

When i go home this weekend I'll try and get some pics taken of everything that I can. I really don't want him to sell his car. Should probably be up on saturday or sunday if i get a chance. Thanks.

 

.hmmm..just testing if i'm here
