so i've made my decision...

to throw a single turbo setup on my semi-b/p 13b gsl-se. (and maybe hook up the NO2 when i really want to break stuff should be a good time! now my question to you, the real rx-7 pros, is will an FC turbo manifold bolt to my engine, or will i have to make my own?

Manifold will bolt right up, turbo will not clear any of the NA intakes, SE, FC. Needs a spacer.

it has the RB holley carb manifold. keeping it carbed, but i'll have to get a boost prepped one. not to worried about making or modifying, im a welder/machinist with access to cnc machines and a waterjet thanks for letting me know the manifold will bolt up, that was my biggest concern.

don't forget a wideband and jets for the carbie, plus a BFP. be very careful until you get her tuned.

no clue, what kind of carb do you have? I dont' have a turbo on my car, but if I pilfer a FB that is in better shape than mine, and I get some money around to start my full on resto of my current 7, I may go the turbo route until the motor dies. Right now I gotta get her to stop eating plugs (I need to replace my plugs after every ~400 miles right now, because of the electrodes getting eaten and the ceramic insulator exploding).

^Holleys are not popular for boost preping for some reason.

I'd sell the holley setup and pick up a big weber.
