NO they don't make kits for them. Its possible to do it on your own though. Buts it takes hard work. Talk to Aaron Cake he is one of the mods here.

Ummm... the best thing would just to get parts from Turbo II but, converting everything that you would neeed to convert, it would be cheaper to just buy a TII.

Try searching, there are lots of topics about this. "N/A to TurboII conversion" is the best search item.

i think a main difference with the kits is just where the throttle body is located for the plumbing. but you're also running a higher compression ratio, anyways.

I did this many years ago to an old 88 vert. Kit was made by then "Cartech" since called Bell Engineering. I have no idea if they still sell a kit for the FC. I tend to doubt it. Kit came with T04 Turbo, small front mount IC, all intake piping, oil lines, a K&N intake, mystery wastegate, a rising rate fuel pressure regulator, Bosch fuel pump and TII secondaries. Car ran very well on the stock ECU. Prolly made 250 at the wheels at 10psi. A nice kit for the $2000 price back in 1992! A great sleepr of a car that was. I should never have sold it.

Okay, I have never messed with a turbo and what it consists of but my friend Noel does but he's kinda half *** about doing things when it comes to doing big projects unless it's is own, but anyways... since I am cluess on what I need to convert it can someone give me a list of all parts I should scalp for? I know it would be cheaper to buy the Turbo II but not many of them around here that are in nice enough sharp to fight for plus my non-turbo has less than 35,000 miles on it. I know I don't need cams or **** like that so that does put a smile on my face. I wanna do this project because I wanna learn more about the car but mostly about what kind of tunning and fun riseing I can do with it. Winter is coming so I'm gonna need something to do with my baby (RX-7) since I can't drive or clean her in the winter time and anyone from the north will tell ya, these winter's SUCK.

Someone a few months back asked a question about a turbo kit and someone posted a link, I wish I would have book marked it, it was a turbo kit for an n/a rx-7 that had all the necessary parts to run with the stock computer. I'll try searching for the link.

Not that I am old enough to remember, (lol), but there were a couple of different Cartech turbo kits. As far as I know, they are no longer in production, although you may see one floating around Ebay here and there.

BTW, the Cartech Hi-Flow 4i bolted directly to an NA 13B 6-port engine. It was recommended to stick with 8.5psi max on the stock engine block, but the kit was good for up to 340bhp at 12psi if the engine was modified. Their all-out kit was the Hi-Flow 2C which could crank out 460bhp.

Thanks so much guyz. Please keep me posted on your finds. I have been saving for a kit and will continue saving till one falls in my lap. Kenn

Save for a TII instead. Much less hassle.

You're gonna' be saving for a long time. Since there was a factory turbo car available, it is doubtfull that any of the big names will make a turbo kit. However, if want to take a risk, see:

That was nothing but an online game. Had nothing to do with turning a non into a turbo. Did I miss somethin'?
