n/a to turbo 2 swap

I've been looking for an hour and can't find a thread for the swap.
I have these questions basically.
What all is needed to do a swap.
I have 87 n/a rx7 want to put a turbo 2 motor into it.
Can i use a engine/tranny/ecu/harness from a s5 rx7 or s4 would be alot easier?
What all components will I need for successful swap ei: engine/tranny/driveshaft/etc?
thanks

SEARCH again.. trust me theres PLENTY of threads on this..


if you want the swap to go easy..

basically just get a S4 T2 engine(87-88= s4)( so every thing wires up)
your going to need the boost sensor, t2 fuel pump or a walbro 255 pump, ecu and harness(s4 t2)


get the t2 drive train... trans, driveshaft, lsd and half shafts.

your going to need a t2 hood unless you are going with fmic or something..

I can't read your sig I need ten post lol. I found a thread earlier stating you don't have to be in series or swap drive trains. He just took the counter weights and flywheel off the n/a motor and put it on the turbo motor so he didn't have to swap tranny or difs is that right?

This is the link in RotaryRocket88's sig: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/s4-na-turbo-swap-details-813825/ It covers pretty much everything.

In that case, you don't have the required intelligence level to perform a swap yourself. About 3% of the population is retarded, so don't take this as an insult, as it's not your fault. I suggest that you have a professional shop perform the work.
