***rx-7 Help***
i just bought a rx-7 and this is my first time dealing with a rotory motor. was wondering what is included in a turbo kit to make my non-turbo to a turbo car? is it the same as a regular motor? i just need a list of all the parts i need for this rotory motor. Thank you...

From what I gather, you intend to convert a non-turbo RX-7 into a turbo RX-7?
First, expect a lot of people to say sell it and buy a TII (turbo model).
You can get a lot of info here: Rotary Resurrection Write-up
Or, from the FAQ:
What Turbo kits can I add onto my non turbo RX-7?
There are no longer kits formally made at the time of this post, however there are companies from time to time that do make available non turbo to Turbo Kits. Because most of these companies stop building the kits, or go out of business in short time, it is impossible to keep active links for them.
Most people that turbo a non turbo make their own kits:

The motors are different between turbo and NA.
The NA has higher compression rotors, and a 6 port intake (2 auxiliary)
The turbo2 is a 4 port motor with lower compression to more reliably handle boost.
Turboing a NA is not an easy or particularly desirable mod based on the fact that there are turbo motors that are better suited for boost. You can swap a turbo2 motor in but you need the tranny and rear end to match, theres tons of info on how to do that and what exactly you'll need.
