Turbo II driveshaft and rear end

Whats up guys,
I just bought my first FC (vert) yesterday. I'm currently planing on doing a Turbo II swap and it came to my knowledge that I'll need the turbo II drive shaft, rear end, and axles. So I wanted to make sure that there is no way I can use the NA drive shaft, rear end, and axles?

Also what is a reputable website to get the turbo II drive shaft, rear end, and axles?

Thanks.

You can get a turbo trans to n/a diff driveshaft from mazdatrix.
But, the best thing to do is to get all turbo components.

Yes, the weak point in the NA drivetrain is the transmission, the NA rear should be good for non-crazy power levels.

Yes, I have a 1990 NA convert with less than 70K adult-drien miles and my trans is going bad. I'm about to put in a S5 TII trans and keep my NA diff. From what I hear, the weakest part of the NA's is the trans, while it's the strongest part of the TII's.

I'd just swap out the entire rear end. You'll end up doing it later trust me.

turbo driveshaft, just bore the holes on the end that meets the NA diff = done... A few people have done this. that way later on down teh road you can swap to the turbo rear end and not have to get another driveshaft.

Just in case you haven't done your research. To run the TII trans you will also need the correct series TII flywheel, clutch, starter, and clutch slave cylinder.

I know, I'm not that incompetent, I'm just new to the rx7/rotary game.
