got boost?
im looking to add a turbo to my 86 rx7 and i was wondering if anybody has done this and if it would be cheaper to buy a new motor from a later model that came with stock turbos or to put one on my engine

It's probably been posted or asked before but I would say it would be cheaper or a better value to just do a turbo swap and put in a T2 drivetrain vs trying to add a turbo to an NA.
You could always go supercharger to be alittle different but with that amount of money you could do a T2 swap and still be able to do a few mods.

I don't know that it would be cheaper to buy a TII motor/drivetrain and do the swap but it is certainly the better way to go. Up there on the top next to Calendar there is a Search button, if you use it, you'll find all of the answers you need.
