Question Question about 13b engine

Well for one I am new so don't know for sure if this is the right place to post. Forgive my ignorance, however I own a 1991 NA Rx-7 and I was wondering can you turbo this engine successfully? Or is not a good idea. I obviously want a reliable set-up but would like more power. Also for many reasons I don't feel like explaining, it is not easier for me to just get a TII motor. So if anyone can help that would be great.

You can do, its been done. Someone daily drove their NA-T at 10psi for like well over a year or something and it never blew.

Yes, you can do it.
You can do anything if you throw enough money and resources and time at it.

No, it's not a good idea, IMNSHO.
A 13BT swap is a lot faster and easier if you got the money.

straight from the FAW: Can I swap a Turbo engine/Jspec engine/13BT/etc into my Non Turbo?
Yes, check these links:

http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/ro...conversion.htm

How do I add a turbo to my NA 13B?
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:

No high compression / ping issue?
Or means that our Zenki S4 TII have a great potential for high boost?
