Hello,

I am getting ready to put a after market turbo on my 13b turbo motor, what do I do about the mass air flow I would like just to run a air filter on the turbo. Also My rx7 is a non turbo car is the coil packs different in a turbo car or are they the same as a non turbo car?

Thanks

 

i hope you mean name brand aftermarket and not no ebay/made in china turbos...

 

it's all money on how you go to fix your concern. The N/A motor was designed for NA so theres gonna be some work to do to make it work. money wise, you're prob better off swapping to turbo motor.

as for afm removal, gotta go standalone w/ map sensor setup. 800-1.5k usd avg.

do your homework and do it right before you run into more trouble. anythings almost possible , its all time and money.

Get a standalone.

 

Get a TII to go with your stand alone

 

Normally I would agree with PvillKnight7 in that you are much better off selling your NA car and buying a TII. However, since it appears that you have already bought a TII engine for your car, I recommend that you contact your local rotary engine tuner and ask which standalone EMS he recommends. You can probably install the EMS yourself (discuss that with your tuner), but you will want to have a bonded and insured professional tune it. The standalone EMS will allow you to sell your Air Flow Meter, and the EMS will either work with your existing coils or it will come with its own coils. Other advantages of the standalone EMS are that it fixes the 3800rpm hesitation problem, fixes the flooding problem, eliminates the need for a fuel cut defenser, and allows for better tuning for performance, idle, and gas mileage. The brand of EMS doesn't matter as long as your tuner can make it work to your liking.

If you are considering a cheapie Ebay turbo setup, you may want to reconsider and use the stock turbo or a BNR upgrade.

Any aftermarket turbo installation requires significant upgrades to other parts of the car. You'll need a front mount intercooler, full fuel system upgrade (with standalone), downpipe and exhaust, clutch upgrade, etc. etc. It's far from a bolt on and go.

General budget for a turbo upgrade is about $4000 just for turbo related hardware. Figure $1500 for an EMS, $200-$1000 for an intercooler, a few hundred in tuning time and a few hundred more in fuel system components (injectors and pump).

 

Ineed, make sure your fuel department is up to par.
Don't run too much boost on factory port and seals in a N/A.
