Lightbulb boosting my FC?!?!?

i have an 86 na.
i just picked up a turbo from an mx6.
i know that i will need custom tubes and a custom downpipe
i already have a front mount intercooler,manual boost controler, and a greddy BOV.

will a turbo manifold from a turboII fit my na???could i use it?????
i don't want really big numbers.

HOW Much SAFE PSI can these engines take with stock internals????

how many of u guys have done this? can u guys show some pics if this can be done??

i highly doubt that mx6 turbo will work for the fc. its probably wayyy to small on the hotside, and the coldside is slightly to small as well

well its a requirement that on n/a turbo rotarys the vtech must be kept in functional at all times, so please check before moving on with the build.















but seriously run a rising rate fpr and youll be fine.....

to pull the engine because its now worth its weight in scrap aluminum and cast iron.

Step 1. Sell the car and everything listed that you have.

Step 2. Buy TII with profits.

Step 3. You have now boosted your FC. Congrats.

Highly doubt it will work, as i stated above

i already have a front mount intercooler,manual boost controler, and a greddy BOV.
and a fuel pump, and much more if you were to do this correctly
will a turbo manifold from a turboII fit my na???could i use it?????
Yes it will fit the motor, no the mx6 turbo wont fit it. you could use a stock rx7 turbo and modify the lim to allow it to fit
i don't want really big numbers.
how much do you want.
HOW Much SAFE PSI can these engines take with stock internals????
depends on the setup. How much do you want to spend to make it work right?

how many of u guys have done this? can u guys show some pics if this can be done??

Many, Many, MANY times. search the 2nd gen forum. aaroncake has a thread in the archives etc. this topic is covered many many times a week.

well this is just a project car to me.
so selling it and finding another is not an option, i just rather work with what i have and u don't see rx7 with for sale signs around anymore.
i have only seen 3 here in one year at a west suburb from chicago.

Jesus!!!! There are SOOOOO many threads on how to turbo NA rotaries....and for each of those there are about 100 threads EXACTLY like this one where each person thinks they are different than everybody else. Go search, find the specs of that MX-6 turbo, compare those to a stock TII turbo, then pull your head out of your *** and develop a plan of action. I assure you, you will find much more information by yourself than asking it here.
