Looking for some info on NA to Turbo

I am looking to turbo my N/A. I don't know to much about the TII's but i was wondering if there were some short cuts I could use. First off with coolent, will the TII t-stat housing fit the N/A? and will it serve my coolent needs? and the other question I had was with oil, does the TII oil cooler have a feed nipple, or do i have to fab on in? Thanks for your help.

yeah i looked through them but it didn't answer my questions. I just need to know if the t-stat housings (plastic) are interchangeable?

I just removed the BAC and used those lines for the turbo. THe oil cooler doesn't have a fitting, i just got the RB oil filter pedistial adapter and used that as the oil inlet and that seemed pretty easy without all the fabbing.

Why would you bother even asking that? That has nothing to do with converting an N/A to turbo, nor does the oil cooler. Are you sure you want to try to accomplish such a rather involved conversion?

First off it does concern the conversion, if there was a nipple on it for a coolent inlet. This is not my first conversion I have done before, just not on a RX7. Isn't that what this site is here for, to help each other out? I asked the questions to see if there were short cuts to feeding the turbo or if i was going to fab it myself. You really don't seem to supportive, you should hold back on the anger mixed with coffee.

If yoa had read the FAQ you would not be asking. NA to turbo is the most asked question here and is VERY well covered.
