I bought my JDM turbo motor from teamfc3s for a great price, 1200 bucks shipped to my door. Had a torque converter on it... didnt know they made automatic tranny turbo II's ??

LOL! Please, Don't elaborate on that.

I think DJ is referring to the fact that you can just put a N/A clutch/flywheel on there and bolt it right up to the N/A drivetrain.

Kevin Landers has all the info you need to do a turbo swap at his website as already posted by 87 t-66

I'm a returning FC owner but new to the turbo version. I didn't know they NEEDED 91/92 octane fuel?!?!? Looking at the cap it only says the good old "Unleaded gas only". Are you serious or is it just better to use 91/92?

I've just got my TII a couple of weeks ago and put in regular. So far nothing bad is happening but I havent pushed it much at all. I certainly don't want detonation.

I didn't because I shouldn't have to. Just like misinformation shouldn't be posted.

Keep the car. RX-7's are fun sometimes a pain in the ***, but I would keep it. Escpecially if you got it for free. Mine cost me $3000.
