With the necessary fabrication, youll spend less on a single turbo kit specifically for FC's. There isnt enough hp to be worth the effort.

There will be nothing cheap about this project. New (custom) manifold, oil and water lines, air lines (you'll have to route two intakes for the two turbos, so that means a Y off of your AFM and some serious plumbing...and of course two compressor outlets), new downpipe, wastegate controls, etc. etc.

The reason i say it would be cheap for me is that my cuzing owns an rx7 shop and he might help me do the conversion ,maybe you heard of it locatedsin orlando florida its called fuego racing

there are reasons 3rd gen owners conver to one big *** turbo. i thought it would be a good idea myself then i read about limits of the 3rd gen turbos. just go t70 or something. probably cheaper and will give you more hp in the end.

Well, if you can get all that stuff done correctly, for cheap, I say go for it. But it sounds like a lot of work for a shop to do, for very little money....

If you can get converted to a TII for $1000 go for that. A TII can hang with a FD with the stock turbo(s) from both cars pretty much. People have been known to get into the 12s with the stock turbo so whats the point of going with the pain of 2 turbos you will end up swapping for a better single later down the road anyways?

Like j9fd3s said, you can't just bolt it on.
You need some kinda spacer.&nbsp Then you need a custom downpipe, cause the discharge is totally way off.

Forget trying to run the 3-stage sequential operation; you might be able to get it to work converted to non-sequential.

It sounds like you already made up your mind.&nbsp I don't know why you're asking our opinions for.

To me, it's a waste of time.&nbsp The turbos are only good to 14psi, and most of the time they puke oil very easily on higher than stock boost (10psi).&nbsp If you want to go with a complicated system that required rebuilds every year, then I guess you made a good choice.

You need to do a search on the forums. It's in the top right hand corner of every page.

This has been covered a ton of times.

Unfortunately a common misconception is that the 13B-REW is the only engine capable of making your SA/FB/FC fast. Why? Because it's in the FD's engine. Of course it has to be the best of them all.



All it takes is some searching and reading on old topics. You'll be surprised how much you learn.
