hey guys i am getting into RX-7's and i am going to be buying a 1987 GTU RX-7 N/A obviously i would like to have it turbo so my question is, can i just put a turbo kit on to it, is there such a kit? Next question is if i can not simply bolt up a turbo kit i would buy a T2 motor so would i need to swap out the tranny and rear diff or just the tranny. please let me know i searched around a lil but i didnt see any info so any input is appreciated. Thanks

What Turbo kits can I add onto my non turbo RX-7?
There are no longer kits formally made at the time of this post, however there are companies from time to time that do make available non turbo to Turbo Kits. Because most of these companies stop building the kits, or go out of business in short time, it is impossible to keep active links for them.

Most people that turbo a non turbo make their own kits:
Using the stock TII turbo, exhaust manifold with spacer, NA intakes and NA ECU:

Hope that helps!

 

for the turbo kit you might as well get a turbo II engine as far as the swap what you would need to do (i just finished mines) you will need a boost map sensor a t2 wire harness and ecu.....as far as the tranny and rear end you will need to get a t2 tranny (there are places that sell the engine and tranny for cheap) the rear end how ever you dont have to change it mazdatrix sale a t2 conversion drive shaft but i do recomend if you are going to drift are do any racing on the track then upgrade that to the t2 rear end if your just going to dd it then you dont have to change it as of now it wont hurt your car but if you want to do it you can i know some people if you need help getting the things that you need
