ight i got ahold of another second gen and i have a spare engine i dropped in it but when i got on it i started seeing smoke coming from the turbo, said it cant be the gaskets just bought a full set from the dealer, then i went and checked more into it and the seals are blow so what would be a good turbo swap i was thinking a GT25RE that good??/

 

GT25 is for a Honda. An RX-7 usually uses a GT35 series for a single-turbo application. Cheaper popular street turbos include the T04E-60 and T04B 60-1 for up to about 1 bar, TS04 for a little over 1 bar.

 

^ the above is true. As always we need to know power goals and purpose of the car.

Most likely if you staying stock just pick up a S5 turbo with manifold and port the wastegate or have it ported and then put it on.

 

well no this this im looking for in power, i dont for sure know the fullest of what the real power is cause i had it running then when the test drive went down ya know thats when i noticed the smoke so thats when i knew turbo is gone, the engine itself has new 2mm racing seals in it, upgraded innercooler set up, upgraded fuel injectors i mean pretty much the only thing i can think of that i havent upgraded yet is the ECU so

 

Took the words right out of my mouth...

 

Without an ECU the car probably runs like crap with the upgraded injectors. If you have never felt the full power then just get yourself a nice low mileage S5 turbo and get the wastegate ported.

Then rock that up to around 12psi if you have the support to do so. This should give some nice power for a street car/Daily Driver.

 

What kind of power are you wanting?

 

well the thing is i know i havent felt the power cause i was smart unlike half the people who go turbo and i low boosted my car for the test run, sorry saw what happened to a dude who turbo'd a spivic(civic) and he boosted it to like 18 psi and i think it only took like a mile he blew stuff so i boosted like 5 just for saftey and i saw smoke so, really for a ECU im looking at the haltech G6x or whatever it is i think thats it its like 1500 bucks so ohh and this wont be a daily driver haha i mean if the days are nice ill take it out but not run it ya know

 

if you want advice, write stuff that is readable and makes sense.

 

im pretty sure most people understand my writting

 

I am pretty sure that I understand the title of your thread, but everything else you wrote is gibberish.

 

yes I can read what you type but it takes another read to understand. Punctuate.
Besides the point, how much power are you trying to make and what are you trying to use the car for.
If you have upgraded injectors and a stock ecu the smoke you are seeing might be fuel, not the turbo.
Help us out and we'll help you out.
But a gt25 is almost smaller/is smaller than the stock unit, you would be at full boost at idle.

 

well i dont know about fuel cause that def smelt like oil not fuel

and im wanting like not so much mad power that i cant control it but its like if i want it there when i need it i know its there kinda thing
