There aren't any turbo kits for the non-turbo cars because it is easier and cheaper just to sell your car and buy a TurboII car. Besides the turbocharger and intercooler, the TurboII also has a stronger transmission, LSD, and halfshafts, as well as 16" wheels, boost gauge, and a 160mph speedometer.

If you are just looking for a project and/or you are under the glaring misconception that you can make a TII cheaper yourself, you can just buy a used J-spec 13BT engine for a little over $1,000.

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

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:

best turbo kit you can buy is to buy a turbo engine and swap it in.

You can also use the stock TII parts and install it to your N/A engine which many people have done in the past.

Another newb misses the new member section by a loooooong shot! Might just have to make that new member section pink and have the size of the font maxed out.
