will a 1990 rx7 turbo fit on my 1987 n/a? ofcourse im talking about the n/a turbo convertion and i have read aaroncakes post on how to do this...i couldnt check his site because apperantly at this time the site was down..


ps. I AM a newbie..so dont laugh if my question is stupid to you...thanks

 

If you get the '90 manifold aswell as the turbo it'll fit.
The Series 5 turbos wont fit the Series 4 manifold but either manifold bolts upto the engine fine.

 

It'll work, but remember you HAVE to use a spacer, otherwise the turbo will hit the lower intake. I believe aaron made his from RB flanges, but I'm not positive.

 

The engine bay is the same size. But you need all the accessories to go with the turbo. It is not really a bolt on

 

Why did you mention the engine bay size? And, of course it's not a 'bolt on and it works', but he asked if it fits :-D

 

haha..thanks a bunch guys...yeah i did see aaroncakes spacer thing...
thanks again

LOL. The power was out here from about 1:30AM until 4:30AM. Site should be back up now.

The '90 turbo will work if you use the '90 manifold.

 

Aaron: please read this link and comply, those of us with dial-up would appreciate it

It's a blank page.

And if you are talking about sig size, the image is 17K. Last time I checked, browsers downloaded the HTML page first, then the image in the background as you are reading the text. There are also a LOT of other people with significantly larger signatures then me.

 

Combination image/text signatures should have no more than 5 lines of text.

 

Sigh. When others follow those rules, I will too. I doubt thta 5 extra lines of text equate to more than an extra 0.0005 of a second download via dial up.

 

But what about when you have more mods than what fits in 5 lines of text?

 

He asked if it would fit

 

Why are you listing your mods in your sig anyways? We have profiles for that Not that I care anyways.

 

Wouldn't it be better to just swap over the intake manifold too? Yeah, it'll cost a little extra but then you don't have to worry about that extra exhaust spacer ever leaking.

 

thanks a lot guys

cbrock: they turbo intake manifold doesn't fit if I recall, due to the 6port's on an NA engine and 4 on turbo's.

 

no the turbo inlet manifold DOES fit (so long as you swap the Whole thing..) , you just need to get out the grinder and do some port matching, if you compare the gaskets of the two you'll see exactly what i mean
