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.

Totally off topic, but I'm kinda curious myself. I've been running 87 in my TII for the last week or so of owning it, have driven it hard, and haven't noticed one problem at all...

According to the turbo factory/service manual they say u have to use 91+ octane to avoid turbo detination or something from what I hear! anyone with a turbo wanna correct me if im wrong?
