They have a Supercharger kit available at: http://www.atkinsrotary.com/supercha.htm

Not sure how much boost, dont think its more than 7. And yes the 12a will handle it, its a lot more safe than a Turbo.

Stop making crap up.. if anything, turbos are more safe because more setups are intercooled..


There are not alot of kits avaliable for the 1st gen RX-7.. But if you check rotary shops around pretty much any of them will put one together for you..

That must be why everyone puts superchargers on there cars. Hmmmm....

There is a lot of information on turbo setups on this site if you search. There has been a bunch of discussions just in the past three weeks or so.

Check the single turbo forum, I made a post in there with a list of basically everything you need to turbo your 12a. The setup I posted should run ~10psi of boost, so you might want to use a different wastegate.

I have never seen a "turbo kit" for a 1st Gen. As far as I can tell, it's a build-it-yourself kind of adventure.

You can get custom made kits. Although the highly sought after Cartech Kits are bolt ons.
