Can I put a TII engine in my non turbo 88 coupe?
I have an 88 nonturbo RX7 and need to know if I can take out the current engine and replace it with an engine that already has turbos, and if this is possible how much would it cost?

Search this forum for both of those swaps-
They are both pains in the *** swap.
The NA -> TII basically requires you swaping in the whole TII drivetrain
The NA ->13bwt would also need the full TII drivetrain from the tranny back, then you would have to do the pain in the *** mods to stuff the motor in...
Its accually cheaper to buy a TII.

NO.
Minimally, turbo engine harness and ECU.  Lots of labor to do this conversion.
Stand-alone and tuning - ever more headaches.  If you're asking about this swap, I doubt you're capable of such work.

Reted you are absolutely right i'm not capable of such work, also I just read another post about V8 power in RX7s and i followed a link did some homework and I think i should do that swap instead, also i would get help from somebody just to make sure everything was done right.
