I bought the majority of it from Japan. Had to piece it together myself, custom make parts, fabricate damn near everything. Took about a year and a half from starting install to finally road worthy

1985 rx-7, did you have to fab custom brackets for the mazdaspeed seats? and is your roll cage a custom job or bolt in? how much did you spend on them if you don't mind me asking? pics?

as far as the turbo kit....do a search. people have adapted the turbo II exhaust manifolds to work on fb's

There is no premade turbo kit for these cars anymore. Nobody makes one. You pretty much have to piece it together from S4/S5 parts. There is a lot of fabrication involved, but if your willing to do it and have the time, its worth it from what I hear.

On a serious note, your not going to find a Turbo Kit like you would for a Honda Civic for our cars. your going to have to Piece on together unless you find someone that has one and is selling it. Robert at Rotaryshack can put one togeter for you and at a reasonable price. For a kit the only place you might find something like that is on Ebay. But, I'll bet its not going to be complete and your going to be making alot of stuff yourself.

I believe atkins has a supercharger kit, but I dont think it uses a stock nikki.

Roll cage was a custom job... The mazda seats bolted to the stock ones but i had to re-drill the hole in the bracket due to the fact thateither hole was about 3-2 mm off... Got the cage from www.paytonperformance.comWould you like pictars of the cage installed?

cage and seats please

where did you buy the seats. i have seen some cheap mazda speed seats on ebay and was wondering how good they were (support for road race/autox), and if they were a bolt-in/almost bolt in job

I'm pretty sure he did get them from Ebay, but everyone flamed him for no reason about it.

wtf. why would anyone flame someone for buying something that is going on their car? the people who did are jackasses. those seats look really nice and seem to have good side support from the pics. 1985 rx-7 thanks for the pics, the cage and seats look nice. any comments on them as far as feel, etc?

Hmmm searching with dial-up requires timing. start search before bed, read results in the morning.

She was a little stubborn to get in there because of the roll cage but after a few minutes of struggleing with wires and the cage she slipped right in, she may look un-level right now it is because the other bracket isnt on her right now... Major support also in the shoulder areas... Extremely comfortable... It is very firm but also soft, it is perfect...

There is no interior because the old carpet was screwed and i dont want to catch my car on fire while welding, i'm getting new carpet... I had a funny "handle with care" pictar on my new f r fender(LOL)... Very wide but they fit my shoulders perfectaly(about 2ft from shoulder to shoulder)

Well then, i guess that the mani came of a 13B 6 port. This wont work on your 12a (or 13B 4 port for that matter..) You could try to get a hold of a turbo kit like mine (mine is original though) from a 12a Turbo. These engines were sold only in Japan and Australia, but every now and then, they can be found on Ebay.

Or you could just do it the easy way. Take off the exhaust from your 12a. See the flange that mates to the engine? Make a copy of this plate, and get a welder to make you a custom manifold for whatever turbo you want (alltough the S4 and S5 turbos are really nice on a 12a) Then get a turbo hat for your nikki, get the carb boost prepped, run some tubing from the turbo trough the intercooler and to the turbo hat, and hey presto, a turboed 1.st gen!

Ok, its not that easy, but you get the picture!
