can i get a turbo kit for my N/A 13b?

hey i just picked up a 13b 87 gxl non turbo and im desperately seeking a turbo kit. or the parts i will need to turbo my existing motor.
i have searched this site with no luck on finding if its even possible. im guessing the blocks are very similar excluding a few oil and cooling passages. but i think there are some easy ways to bypass that, anyway.

read the FAQ at the top of the page. Almost everything is covered in there concerning this.

dude if you search you would have definately found the answer. which is No unless you do it like aaron cake I think www.aaroncake.net but that isn't some bolt on deal. There is a turbo swap but again that isn't the easiest thing either I think www.rotaryresurrection.com has a write up if you want to see what is involved. Supercharging isn't really an option either although it can be done, but the kit is no longer made from my understanding unless you do atkinsrotary solution but that is like 3 grand might as well buy a tubro to begin with. All this can be found through searching. If I am totally wrong here please correct me

Besides, you would have had to change your screen name to 87gxl13bT2 if you went with the swap! Welcome to the FC world though

There's no way you searched, otherwise you would have found this topic:

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ight=turbo+kit

I used the terms "turbo kit"

Are you willing to spend several thousand dollars (or a whole lot of time and effort searching for deal) for such a "conversion"?
