Well I have short and long term goals at once. I already bought hubcentric wheel spacers, plan to buy a strut tower bar, new wider performance tires and wheels and adjustable coilovers but I cant lower my car than the stock height or my driveway will rip off the body kit.

It sounds to me like you want to build a "drift mad quick yo" show/drift car, so why don't you just buy a Turbo II? A used 20B engine sells for about $4,000-4,500, so if you were planning on spending that kind of money then you could easily buy a decent Turbo II car. The Turbo II would make a much better base to start with. Even better, save your money and buy a pre-built 20B RX-7 at 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of the build. While I like the NA cars a lot, in your case I think you are not being very efficient with your build unless your car has a lot of non-removable custom modifications already.

n/a to turbo a few grand. n/a to 20b 8 grand then keep adding for all the upgrades you're going to want like single turbo when it only runs 13s then upgraded suspension and radiator, brakes so drive it right and the list goes on and on.

I'm gonna go with a single turbo 20b in an FD when I get one in a couple years. maybe bp or pp.
Definitely want my FD to sound like this
