I was wondering if I can replace my turbo front side iron with an N/A front side iron. also, does the series matter? (i.e. switch s4 turbo iron with s5 N/A iron) thanks.

NA irons are 6 port. Turbo irons are 4 port. So no.

 

NEGATIVE- my friend

 

there isn't any mod that I could do to make an N/A front side housing work with the other 2 housings being the turbo ones? I'm doing my first rebuild but the front side housing has a blown coolant wall. my brother has a N/A parts motor so I was wondering.

I have heard that people put stock turbo manifolds on N/A's by modding the gasket and intake manifold but if I'm using 2 turbos and 1 N/A side housings I am not sure I could just modify that one port. anyone know about that and if maybe I can make that work?

 

okay, this is from the rx7 2nd gen FAQ.

its a how-to on using stock turbo manifolds on a N/A motor to turbo it. they modded the intake manifold. do you think I could do this mod on that one N/A housing on my t2?

 

Not even worth it honestly. The gasket won't be right. If you were to use the 6 port housing, you'd have to spend some time with a dremel.. So don't even bother.

 

nothing that you can do,you need that front turbo housing period

 

damn. oh well. I can't find a cheap enough front turbo housing to make it worth while for me. I may as well just get a used t2 engine longblock and through that in. after I buy the cheapest USED housing I have found (250), all the seals,rings,etc for the rebuild, AND I need to buy the turbo with manifold, downpipe, and intercooler, I well be well over the 1000 price range I can get a used t2 motor only for. thanks for the help guys, but I think I'm gonna sell all the parts. the rotors and e-shaft have been cleaned and ready for rebuild as will be the other 2 side housings before I sell. at least I can make more then I paid for the whole thing I guess.

 

Look for japan2la he has front turbo irons going for 125 shipped and he only sells good stuff not crap at all.

 

really? thanks, i will contact him.

 

Yes, I have it...
