Look at yetters build thread, bad 83's those are 2 just off the top of my head. 12at turbo 12a and look in the first gen section only

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...t=turbo+12a%5C

is one build thread i found.

Basically you have to start reading around. It has been done but alot of custom work is required. Like down pipe, manifold and then you need carb hat etc. Ibviously i don't know everything required becuase i have not done it.

Another option is a tii swap
