listen a holes. No reason to imply any of that stuff whats the attitute for real. YOu guys chase some waterfalls. I happened to go help the Center of Indepentend living and the habitat for humanity do ground breaking for a new line up this year, busy volunteer work apart from my 65 hour labor week. My first couple of times of clicking on the search bar, then clicking go I got dead links. So i posted a quick question and took a quick look upforwardly asking for SUGGESTIONS and NEEDS only beacuse my Stock turbo is gone, and my engine is in the process of being rebuilt. I need a turbo, stock MAYBE, it was a quick question of people who RECENTLY have used it, i wanted to give a specific link to everyone to see EXACTLY what i was talking about and get some CONstructive critisim. NOt a bunch of Blown up head jerks who think because they got a slightly vague question about upgrading turbo ONE OF WHICH I HAVNT DONE BIG DEAL SORRY I DONT HAVE 2 GS TO THROW ON TURBO UPGRADES every year to get a fluent knowledge of whats needed. The BASICS are this, sorry if you were CONfUSED by the question. Let me rephrase it for you..... MY 87 Rx7 turbo, sittin in my yard for a couple years just getting to restoring this car that never ran, has had the turbo removed for some time. Im having the engine rebuilt with 3mm apex seals and street porting all emmisions removed and premix conversion. What do you guys thinks a better Idea? Going with another stock turbo, or can anyone recommend a good slightly upgraded turbo and any other SPECIFIC MUST HAVES for the engine to run properly with the mild internal modifications done at the rebuild? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Please fix the search or explain to me why i get dead links when i click go, and Id be glad to search for a while. Accuse my absent tonight and the quick question I posted instead of searching.

well I would be happy to help you out, but calling me an a hole? now that is just beond... your search most likely does not work because you need to do some updates for your web browser or operating system. but I can't be certain.

Now as for your question. No I don't think an upgraded turbo is your best bet, first off you will need to spend alot of money to do it right so you don't blow your engine... for now get the stock turbo on... get it running do the smart mods first,
intercooler, Blow off Valve, Wastegate porting.FCD Exhaust, intake. And in the end extra fuel by the means of fuel pump, Injectors, and fuel management or ultimately stand alone would be best. But do yourself a favor, this has all be covered before! AND I will not post to this thread again... For future reference don't insult those who you are asking for help it usually doesn't go very well.... and do some research there is more than enough information on this website, and www.teamfc3s.org/forum and www.nopistons.com you could have weeks of straight reading and not take it all in.
Good Luck and,
Adieu

I'd suggest grabbing a stock turbo and goin with a hybrid setup. Get something basic like a V-Trim compressor wheel/housing and you should be good....Make sure you port the wastegate and such also. While you're in there, you should probably get your hands on an FMIC and do it all up in one shot...

Really love the feel and love for it to be reliable. Thanks for the help, Sorry about at first, i felt like everyone jumped to conclusions, I search when i have the time, sometimes i dont and on a tight schedule just want some quick results i do appreciate all the help all the time. THANKS

Why? He has a valid point... this is the ONLY forum that I frequently vist in which 80% of the questions are replied with "SEARCH NEWB". Infact, a few times I've searched for information, the top 5 or so hits are simply threads saying to search. By the time I find any info, its from 2003. Now, I could be wrong, but someone COULD have found some new information/new ways of doing things within a 2 year timespan. Also, lets just say that this forum doesn't have the greatest search feature ever. Granted, many questions are repeated on a weekly basis, but with the number of threads posted in this section alone, common questions quickly get bumped down to page 3. Now, I may be the type of person to browse through a few pages to find what I need, but not everyone has that kind of time on their hands. And if these threads came up every week, would it be THAT complicated to use the search feature yourself and provide a good link?

That said, let's move onto a more on-topic discussion.

As far as using the stock turbo or not, we need to know what you want from the car. Since you mentioned a streetport, we can safely assume that you're wanting a bit more performance than stock out of your restoration. As said before, your best bet would probably be to pick up a hybrid turbo. Also, with this turbo, I would say to pick up some 720cc secondary injectors, a Walbro or FD fuel pump, and go with a front-mount intercooler. With this added fuel, you will need a way to control it, such as an Apex'i SAFC-II or, if you want to drop the cash, a full standalone setup such as a Haltech. Some people would also recommend an Rtek chip, but I have not experience with them.

Hopefully this thread doesn't go to ****. While its great for your community, I personally don't care what you do in your spare time as far as community service goes. I fail to see how it relates to a car forum. Calling people a holes after asking a question isn't the best way to get a response, irregardless of if it was deserved or not.

Heh

Hmm, if you don't want to answer, then don't answer. Don't just tell someone to search.

Seriously, if I see a question pop up, and I know there is an easy answer for it in search, then I just don't respond.

that turbo is junk, just pick up a good used stock turbo or go with a BNR hybrid unless you really want to step up then you could go with whatever big turbo you want but be wary of ebay turbos.

I hear that the ebay turbos aren't held together quite well enough.

Id have to say you hit everything on the nail pretty well. Excuse my immature responce to an immature responce! Kind of paradox. Yeah as far as teh injectors thats what ive been hearing just secondaries . My cash iscomming tight to an end after the rebuild. So the bind is, i have enough for the turbo, and then my funds are near couple hundred dollors, but I am going to need to buy a turbo seein how mine is gonsky! Yeah I figured the street port and stuff are things that I mine as well do now I dont plan on pullin the motor out for a while, thats why i didnt get the jspec even though it bein cheaper gave me a lot more upgrade room. Id rather have the reliability. But I cant lie i love to get out there and have fun with the car. Ive been puttin a lot of work into preping and painting the car, its primed up ready for paint if anyone wants to see it i dont have a place to host it. Give me a few minutes Ill get it up its yellow in primer, liek a banana yellow but the paint is a new porshe yellow with a mica yellow pearl. I hope it turns out nice got a week into the paint and body work so far give me a few. THANKS for everyones help, try not to let this forum get to your head. Were all supose to be cool we drive some of the hottest cars ever made so ride on. I didnt get this rotor tattood on my arm for nothing I live to love to
drive these things.

The stock manifold is a goofy size for the stock turbo. With anything outside of stock or hybrid, you'll need a new manifold.

I think it is the rx7 store? Anyways they have an
add in the for sale section showing you the
things they have in the store. They have really
nice turbos that are bolt on [stage 1] ready
to go and they are at a fair price.
